According to Jonathan Ferro, Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has hit analysts estimates for sales of their Model S vehicle.
“Tesla, their Model S sales matched analysts’ estimates. The company begins deliveries in China. CEO Elon Musk warned in May that tight supplies of lithium-ion batteries would weigh on deliveries.
