LIVE: Tesla reports earnings
Tech2 min read

Tesla is set to report its second-quarter earnings after the market closes on Wednesday.

The results come right after Tesla's big event on Friday at which it launched the mass-market Model 3.

Analysts forecast that the company would report an adjusted loss of $1.88 per share and revenue of $2.51 billion, according to Bloomberg.

Analysts at Morgan Stanley and Baird will be focused on vehicle demand, especially since the Model 3 could cannibalize Tesla's older cars. They'll also be looking out for updates on Tesla's vehicle production schedule and additional gigafactories for its lithium-ion batteries.

It hasn't been a great year for traders who bet against Tesla's stock, following a 52% surge year-to-date. Short interest in Tesla - or bets that its shares would fall - has fallen to the lowest level in more than 2 1/2 years relative to shares outstanding, according to data compiled by IHS Markit.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk taunted short sellers on Twitter, but equally had to defend the company's $53 billion valuation.
