A number of Tesla leaders were shocked when Ilo Mask publicly denied Reuters information that the company refused the production of a new $ 25,000 power supplier. However, according to sources, the project was closed months ago, and Mask simply wanted to avoid the reaction of shareholders. In fact, the company has focused on Model 3 and Model Y.
Some leaders inside Tesla were frightened that the sharp denial of the musk could lead to the SEC, US stock exchange committee, as it can be seen as a misleading of shareholders. By the way, Mask had previously signed $ 40 million with the SEC due to the dissemination of incorrect information on social networks. Tesla has not commented on this news at the moment.
To the question why Mask denied the closure of the project, some sources said that he simply wanted to maintain the trust of shareholders and preventing the fall of sales. However, such incomprehensible steps may damage the company's trust, especially when the Chinese company BYD has achieved great success in the electric car market, Reuters reports.
