- Wednesday, February 20, 8:35 AM Tesla Motors (TSLA) cracks $40 for the first time ever in premarket trading, moving up 1.2%, as whisper numbers on the automaker's production runs look favorable. The big picture: Though Wall Street analyst have taken down their consensus view on 2013 EPS to $0.13 per share, the company is still under pressure to show strong momentum in the back half of the year as it makes up for production costs. 4 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]

- Tuesday, February 19, 2:32 PM Tesla Motors (TSLA +5.5%) moves higher as the bite is taken out of last week's critical article on the automaker by a NYT reporter. What to watch: Push comes to shove on production numbers tomorrow as the automaker reports earnings with speculation raging. A report tipping off the waiting period for Model S delivery is down to 30 days is a development which could either be a gigantic positive showing the automaker's production has ramped up significantly or a disturbing trend if people have been asking for their deposits back. 16 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, February 19, 7:28 AM An editor with The New York Times backs up Elon Musk's claims that a reporter's test drive of a Tesla Motors (TSLA) was flawed, saying "casual and imprecise notes" were taken during the trip. Though falling short of saying the reporter sabotaged the drive intentionally, it's a major win for Musk and the company in the high-profile PR battle . 34 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, February 15, 10:14 AM A test drive of a Tesla Motors (TSLA -0.9%) Model S from Washington DC to Boston goes resoundingly smooth for a CNN reporter as he zooms through traffic at over 70 mph at times with enough charge left to spare at the end of the trip. The one nitpick from the drive was the 200-mile stretch without a charging station, although that should be an easy problem for the EV maker to fix. (Previous saga: NYT vs Musk) 29 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, February 14, 4:05 PM You don't have to be a rocket scientist to read Tesla Motors (TSLA) test ride data correctly or do you? The latest salvo in the Elon Musk vs. New York Times battle comes from The Atlantic which claims the Space X founder's passionate defense of the Tesla Model S and his accusations of journalistic impropriety at the NYT are off-base. The sideshow is taking attention off what matters: Are Tesla production numbers keeping pace with the brisk demand for the EV model? 30 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, February 14, 9:27 AM Tesla Motors (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is out with a blog post defending the range performance of the Model S. After putting out a combative series of tweets on the test drive of a Model S detailed in the New York Times, Musk goes even further with detailed charts and accusations of the objectivity of the NYT reporter. "When the facts didn’t suit his opinion, he simply changed the facts." 30 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, February 12, 2:41 PM Tesla Motors (TSLA -2.2%) will report Q4 earnings on February 20 to end the speculation over where production numbers stand. The debate on Tesla has shifted for the moment to a dissection of the Elon Musk vs. New York Times battle over battery range. The Atlantic's Rebecca Greenfield says Elon Musk's rants aren't helping the firm, while the Reformed Broker admonishes critics of the EV innovator by asking them how great was the reception on their first cellphone before telling them to "lighten up" a bit. 10 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, February 11, 3:21 PM Tesla Motors (TSLA -2.7%) CEO Elon Musk blasts The New York Times in a series of tweets (I, II, III) over its weekend test drive of the Model S which went rather poorly. In a nutshell, the exec blames user error for the mishaps and says he will line up more journalists to do the same drive. He also promises that more detailed info on charging data will be released on the Tesla blog. If Musk gives any detail on productions numbers in advance of the company's Q4 report, things could get really exciting. 18 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, February 11, 10:43 AM Jefferies defends Tesla Motors (TSLA -3.2%) with a note which points out that most Tesla Model S owners seem more impressed with the car than the New York Times reporter who muddled through the charging process on an extended trip. The firm boosts its price target on TSLA to $45 a share on its view the EV automaker will report that it's on track to meet stated FY13 productions goals. 32 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, February 11, 8:30 AM Shares of Tesla Motors (TSLA) slip 3.5% premarket after a New York Times article from over the weekend paints an unflattering portrait of life for an EV owner. Though it isn't news that first adopters should expect issues for cross-country trips, the news gives shorts (26.13M shares) something beefy to latch onto. Next for TSLA: A critical Q4 report. 17 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Sunday, February 10, 8:00 AM The NYT's John Broder takes Tesla's (TSLA) Model S up and down the East Coast from Washington on Interstate 95, where the company has installed Supercharger stations 200 miles apart. Things start dandily enough, but then the weather cools, and Broder has to endure freezing feet and white knuckles because he has to turn the heating off to preserve power. Eventually, he needs a tow truck to pick him up because the car runs out of juice. 182 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, February 8, 12:11 PM Tesla Motors (TSLA +0.2%) is scheduled to report earnings sometime this month with a focus on where the automaker's margins stand and if its production levels are keeping up with previous estimates. CEO Elon Musk jumped into the twittersphere earlier today to rebut a Reuters obituary on the EV industry and should have plenty to say when Tesla reports. 9 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, February 7, 3:34 PM The demand for electric vehicles in China feels the force of gravity: A deteriorating smog situation in major metro areas such as Beijing has the government testing an incentive program for electric vehicles, although consumers continue to show only a passing interest in hybrids or EVs. Tesla Motors (TSLA +0.5%) will open a retail store in the nation this spring, but may want to wait before it shifts its China plans into second gear. 12 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, February 1, 9:35 AM Tesla Motors (TSLA +0.5%) makes an appearance on a brand perception poll conducted by Consumer Reports, checking in at number ten on the list. It's a good sign for the automaker that even though the company is a bit of a political hot potato - on issues of quality, safety, performance, and design it's registering solid marks with consumers. 20 Comments [Consumer]
