Tesla and Panasonic freeze Gigafactory expansion plans
Tesla and Panasonic are freezing plans to expand the capacity of their Gigafactory 1, the world’s largest electric vehicle battery plant, as concerns mount on Wall Street about sales at Elon Musk’s car company dipping below estimates. The partners had planned to raise capacity 50 per cent by next year, but with sales of electric vehicles performing below plans, the two companies concluded that a major investment at this stage poses too much of a risk, Nikkei has learnt. Tesla’s goals of becoming a mass producer of electric vehicles, on the order of 1m cars a year, will be pushed back for now.

Lower earnings expectations don’t necessarily mean stock market weakness. First, earnings for the first quarter may actually come out positive. Companies have been issuing guidance, but there is always the chance that they were a little too conservative. Secondly, weaker earnings do not necessarily correlate with a decline in the stock market.

Freeze at Tesla Gigafactory Hints at Slower Sales, Analyst Says
“We believe Tesla’s cells made at the Gigafactory are even more costly than imported cells from Japan, as the supply chain determines costs in batteries, not the size of any production facility,” Irwin wrote in a note to clients. Tesla shares dropped as much as 3.8 percent in New York on Thursday after Nikkei reported that Tesla and Panasonic were freezing the expansion of the gigafactory near Reno, Nevada. New Street Research analyst and one of the biggest Wall Street bulls on the stock, Pierre Ferragu, said the Nikkei report only reflected the fact that Panasonic doesn’t consider any immediate significant further investment in Tesla, and did not contain much new information.
