Tesla (TSLA) earnings preview: trouble with the mass market?

121
What Tesla will look like 10 years from now is still highly uncertain. Over time some of the Model 3 demand may move to other variants such as the Model Y crossover derived from the Model 3 platform, or to vehicles not yet announced, such as a pickup truck and a compact car. Tesla's mass-market ambitions over the next decade may be much smaller than analysts had previously thought, which causes a concern for some investors.

Also noteworthy is that The Wall Street Journal reported that Tesla has made a request of some suppliers to refund payments for parts back to 2016 in order to help Tesla become profitable. Automakers often have brutal pricing demands on suppliers for future work, but retroactive rebates are not common in the industry and sound troubling to investors.
