Tesla Inc. designs, manufactures, and sells high-performance electric vehicles and electric vehicle powertrain components. The Company owns its sales and service network and sells electric powertrain components to other automobile manufacturers. It primarily offers sedans and sport utility vehicles.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) contrary to Defendants’ representations that the Company was prepared for the launch of its Model 3 sedan, in reality, the Company had severely inadequate inventory and was woefully unprepared to launch Model 3 sedan as anticipated; and (ii) as a result, Tesla’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On October 2, 2017, in a press release detailing the Company’s vehicle production and deliveries for the third quarter of 2017, Tesla cited “production bottlenecks” as the reason for its failure to meet its production goals for its Model 3 sedan.
On October 6, 2017, post-market, the Wall Street Journal published an article entitled “Behind Tesla’s Production Delays: Parts of Model 3 Were Being Made by Hand.”
Following this news, Tesla’s share price fell $13.94, or 3.91%, to close at $342.94 on October 9, 2017, damaging investors.
