Elon Musk's talks of a Twitter takeover mask Tesla's troubles in China (The Washington Post)

Elon Musk is trying to take over Twitter. Meanwhile, Tesla's China production lines have been halted.

The cable enables owners to charge their vehicles using a simple wall outlet, although it is considered more of a stopgap because it charges slowly. Tesla said in its earnings release that supply chain challenges have been “persistent," citing chip shortages, raw materials prices and even the need for cost adjustments — which it tied to inflation. Musk sought to explain the change to stop including the mobile connector, saying: “Usage statistics were super low, so seemed wasteful,” but owners were unsatisfied. Musk has historically been sensitive to government-mandated factory shutdowns, lashing out in 2020 in response to shelter-in-place orders that required the closure of Tesla’s main Fremont, Calif. plant. “The answer is: They are.” The company recently announced it would not be including charging cables with its new cars, prompting an outcry from even Musk’s most fervent supporters. Tesla said in its earnings release Wednesday that “limited production has recently restarted” at the Shanghai plant. Tesla reported a $3.3 billion profit for the first quarter. Along the way, it has faced profitability concerns, regulatory fights and production challenges that posed massive hurdles for Musk. Already Tesla buyers are waiting in some places for more than six months to get their new vehicles, analysts said. “Outstanding work by Tesla team & key suppliers saved the day.” Analysts and investors have expressed concern that Musk is stretched too thin — not only by the demands of Tesla, which has opened multiple new factories in recent weeks, but other responsibilities as CEO of rocket builder SpaceX and several smaller companies.

Elon Musk still has his own company to run. Here's what to expect ... (Fast Company)

The EV maker revealed it delivered an all-time record number of vehicles, but setbacks loom at its Shanghai factory.

Last month, Musk tweeted about his “Master Plan Part 3,” supposedly the next installment in a grand life scheme that encompasses all of his various projects. It’s the latest of Musk’s claims to eventually achieve fully self-driving cars, although he has thus far failed to do so. Austin’s factory will build the long-awaited Cybertruck pick-up and Semi trucks, the former of which was first unveiled in 2019 and has been delayed several times to 2023, much to fans’ dismay. The idling came at the end of the first quarter, and is likely to make a bigger dent in the company’s second-quarter results, as the Shanghai factory is its largest by output and could see a reduction of about 90,000 vehicles over these weeks, according to Credit Suisse estimates. Worse, however, is a report from Bloomberg this week that described Tesla’s return-to-work rules for Shanghai staff operating in China’s closed-loop system, which requires employees to sleep on the factory floor with company-provided sleeping bags, shower in still-unfinished on-site facilities; and work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, until at least May 1. Those sales comprise the vast majority of Tesla’s revenue, which analysts are predicting to be $17.7 billion—up over 70% from last year.

Tesla Stock Jumps After Hours As Earnings Top Views; Regulatory ... (Investor's Business Daily)

Tesla beat earnings views Wednesday, while the EV giant slowly reopens its Shanghai factory. Tesla stock jumped after hours.

The inflationary impact on our cost structure has contributed to adjustments in our product pricing, despite a continued focus on reducing our manufacturing costs where possible." Tesla stock has a 1,152.97 cup-with-handle buy point, according to MarketSmith chart analysis. It hopes to ramp up production to about 1,000 electric vehicles per week by the end of the month and up to 10,000 per week by year end, according to Electrek, citing local reports. Last Friday, Twitter adopted a "poison pill" plan to fend off Musk's hostile takeover attempt. Musk is Twitter's largest shareholder with a 9.1% share. Tesla's relative strength line has slipped in recent days, but is still near all-time highs. Estimates: Tesla earnings per share were expected to more than double vs. "Although limited production has recently restarted, we continue to monitor the situation closely." "Furthermore, prices of some raw materials have increased multiple-fold in recent months. Production is likely to be limited at first. It could be mid-May or later before Tesla Shanghai returns to pre-shutdown output levels. That was roughly in line with views.

He cautioned that customers ordering now are facing a long waitlist, and some of their orders won't arrive until next year.
