Tesla's revenue more than doubles, helped by record deliveries
May 3 Electric-car maker Tesla Inc reported quarterly revenue that more than doubled, driven by record deliveries of its Model X sports utility vehicles and Model S sedans.
Tesla also backed its target of launching its highly anticipated mass market Model 3 sedan later this year, said the car was on track for initial production in July.
Tesla, led by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, said net loss attributable to common shareholders widened to $330.3 million in the first quarter ended March 31, from $282.3 million a year earlier. (bit.ly/2p9tTzv)
