Tuesday’s Factors and Events
Tesla CEO Elon Musk sent an email to all employees at the electric vehicle maker saying the company would have to “rally hard” to hit “record deliveries” for the quarter.
Musk, and sometimes other Tesla execs, typically send “everybody” emails in the final week of the quarter, many of which leak to the press. Doing this helps encourage employees, internally, and manage investor expectations externally, as Tesla approaches its deadline for vehicle production and deliveries. Like other automakers, Tesla reports these numbers on a quarterly basis ahead of earnings.
