Tesla Shareholders Demand More From the Company

Good morning, and happy Wednesday. Tesla Inc. reports 3Q earnings today, and chief executive officer Elon Musk might make good on his promise to skip the call, which would be a first. “I will no longer be default doing earnings calls,” said Musk in July. “I think going forward I will most likely not be on earnings calls, unless there’s something really important that I need to say.”

Tesla has been on a roll of late: strong third quarter vehicle deliveries despite the chip shortage have seen the stock gyrate upward. Tesla’s market value is roughly $875 billion — a trillion dollar valuation no longer seems impossible.
