Tesla increased electric car production by 40%

American company Tesla Motors increased the volume of electric vehicles produced in the first quarter of 2018. This is shown in the company's report, published on Tuesday, March 3, 2018.
In total, during the reported period, Tesla produced 34.494 electric cars: 24.728 Model S and X cars, and 9766 Model 3 cars. The company notes that the overall figure is 40% higher than in the fourth quarter of 2017.

According to the document, in the first quarter Tesla delivered 29980 electric cars to buyers: 11730 - Model S, 10070 - Model X, and 8180 - Model 3 cars. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg believed that only 8800 Model 3 cars would be delivered in the first quarter of 2018.


Tesla began assembling its new Model 3 electric vehicles in July 2017, but faced difficulties increasing production. The price of the Model 3 car, which is a budget version of the more expensive Model X(~81.000$) and Model S(~60.000$), starts at 35.000 dollars. In its basic configuration, the car can travel 350 km without recharging. The maximum speed is 210 km/h, and acceleration to 100 km/h takes about 5,6 seconds.

Following this news, the TSLA share price reacted positively and rose by 18,75% over two days, equal to 49$ per share.

Analyzing the TSLA stock chart, we can expect the upward trend to continue. A suitable entry price is in the 290-300$ per share range, with the first target at 360$ and the second target at 386$, the level reached in September 2017.
