Tesla Motors Inc. is expected to report first-quarter results after the bell on Wednesday.
Tesla is expected to widen its quarterly loss but sales are expected to climb by nearly 50%.
Tesla says it is on track to deliver 80,000 to 90,000 vehicles this year, but got off to a rough start: it reported disappointing first-quarter deliveries — Tesla’s proxy for sales — last month.
The company blamed the miss on a parts shortage that hit Model X deliveries, but vowed not to repeat the mistake with the Model 3, the mass-market electric sedan it hopes to sell by the end of 2017.
