Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA): Succeeding Where Others Failed

Page 2 of 2

Finally, the company is expected to post its first quarterly profit when it reports earnings on May 8. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made a name for himself by exceeding expectations. Under his leadership, Tesla delivered its Model S ahead of schedule, became the first electric vehicle in history to win Motor Trend‘s “Car of the Year” award, and now plans to pay its DOE loan back five years early. Therefore, I wouldn’t be surprised if Tesla were to top analyst expectations when it reports first-quarter results on Wednesday.

Looking ahead, I have no doubt that the disruptive strength of Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)’s business model will push Tesla stock higher from here. It’s time for the bears get on board or prepare to get burned… again.
