Elon Musk ratcheted back Tesla’s sales targets and said the company is facing challenges with seats and other interior pieces on the forthcoming Model X, deliveries of which are set to start in late September, according to Bloomberg.
“Our biggest challenges are with the second-row seat,” Musk, the chief executive officer, said during a conference call with analysts. “It’s an amazing seat, a sculptural work of art, but a very tricky thing to get right.” He added that some interior trim components could become roadblocks, but the so-called falcon-wing doors weren’t going to be a problem.
Assembly snags on Tesla Motors Inc.’s first SUV could also slow output of the Model S sedan, Musk said. So now the company may deliver 50,000 to 55,000 autos in 2015, down from an initial target of 55,000. Tesla shares, which cost $270.13 at the close on Wednesday, fell as much as 9.3 percent after regular U.S. trading, and in European markets were down 5.6 percent at $255.09 as of 9:54 a.m. Thursday in Frankfurt.
