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.

Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk caught many employees by surprise with his announcement last week that the electric-car maker would close most stores and shift to online-only sales, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Elon Musk said March 3 that Tesla will unveil its Model Y crossover in less than two weeks, as questions about store closures, employee layoffs and demand in the wake of waning U.S. federal tax credits threaten the company’s growth narrative.

Tesla said Feb. 28 it will close “many” of its stores and shift to online-only sales after announcing that its long-awaited $35,000 Model 3 is available for purchase.
