Tesla Inc. will announce this week how many cars it built and sold for the quarter. It’s always a day of suspense for investors, especially after a tumultuous 2018 in which production tripled while managing to fall short of dramatic targets set by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. This time around, there could be another surprise.

Just weeks after Tesla Inc. started rolling out its Model 3 in Europe, the electric-car manufacturer has beaten the monthly sales record in its key Norwegian market by a wide margin.

Demand for Tesla Inc.’s Model 3 sedan is expected to remain soft in the United States until the release of the lower-priced $35,000 model next quarter, Cowen analyst Jeffrey Osborne said.

Tesla Inc. factory employees spent almost three times as many days off the job because of work-related injuries and illness in 2018 as the year before, an indication of just how much strain they were under as they manufactured electric cars at scale for the first time.

The Model Y crossover that Elon Musk debuted late March 14 in Hawthorne, Calif., will start being delivered to customers in the fall of next year, later than some analysts anticipated. The company immediately began taking $2,500 pre-orders, a bigger ask than the $1,000 it has charged to reserve a Model 3 sedan.

Tesla Inc. is set to make one of the largest deliveries yet of its new Model 3 car to Norway, one of the electric vehicle producer’s biggest markets.

Tesla Inc. plans to raise average vehicle prices by about 3% globally after it decided to shut down fewer stores than it previously announced.

Tesla Inc. secured as much as $521 million in loans from Chinese banks to build a vehicle and battery factory in the country, putting the carmaker a step closer to producing Model 3 sedans at its first overseas plant.

Investors should keep their expectations about Tesla Inc.’s ability to operate profitably in China “very low,” Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas wrote in a note, adding that he’s cautious about the country’s role in the carmaker’s long-term strategy and fundamental value.
