Tesla Motors Inc. fell in extended trading after the electric-car maker backed off its full-year vehicle sales forecast.

Tesla said it now aims to deliver 50,000 to 55,000 vehicles this year, compared with a previous target of 55,000. The company sees third-quarter production and deliveries of just more than 12,000 vehicles including just a few Model X sport utility vehicles.

Reaching the initial target may be a stretch because some interior suppliers might not be able to increase the flow of high-quality parts fast enough to meet the Model X production plan, Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said on a conference call with analysts. Because the SUV and the existing Model S share the same assembly line, a shortfall by one Model X supplier could slow output of both vehicles.

All is not wine and roses at Tesla, despite the glowing press they receive.

    This is how you KNOW you're not reading serious journalism.

    Especially when the "glowing press" is for technical achievements, not fat production pipelines.

      Agreed, problems with suppliers due to being unable to keep up with demand for "high quality parts" appears to be a problem of being victims of one's success.

      Perhaps all would be roses if the florists could keep up with their orders.

    Wine and roses are for faggots, I prefer briar patches and turpentine. Hair on my balls, hair on my balls, I got hair on my chest and hair on my balls.
