Tuesday Morning Briefing: Tesla’s tense sprint fails to convince Wall St

Tesla

A tense and short-tempered Chief Executive Elon Musk barked at engineers on the assembly line, weekend shifts were mandatory and workers were pulled from other departments. According to employees who spoke to Reuters, Telsa pulled out all the stops in the final week of June to meet its goal of making 5,000 Model 3s in a week.

However, Tesla’s burning the midnight oil to hit the long-elusive Model 3 target failed to convince Wall Street that the electric carmaker could sustain that production pace, sending shares down 2.3 percent yesterday.

For Tesla to really cruise, Musk needs to prove he can durably master the nuts and bolts of manufacturing, writes Breakingviews associate editor Antony Currie.

Commentary: Trump and Putin should start small at their July 16 summit, write former U.S. ambassadors William Courtney and Kenneth Yalowitz. While Moscow's actions on crucial matters like Ukraine, Syria and election interference cannot be ignored, they "may find it easier to make concrete progress if they start with lower profile issues" like renewed cultural exchanges and diplomatic expulsions.
