  • Model 3, Tesla’s first electric car, will see mass production in the year 2017. The main concern which is worrying investors is: Will the company be able to fulfill its initial order of 400,000, which can give the Tesla stock a much needed boost? Would the company be able to start production in the last half of 2017 and be able to meet its customers’ bookings?
  • This is not all; on the investment front, the company has decided to launch more stores, in order to expand its Supercharger network. The sales network will be majorly instrumental in driving the sales of the new electric car, Model 3.

The high amount of investments will have a heavy impact on the company’s financial structure, which might shift the stock price in either direction. Nevertheless, there are a lot of opportunities for binary traders, especially when it comes to trading in Tesla’s stock. An upward swing in the stock’s prices would mean big profits for the binary traders, which will definitely be a plus for the investors.
