an elon musk urge them to go out and break the record. i think it comes down to how they did over the weekend. a lot of analysts put out their note before the weekend and there was a lot of deliveries. they could have made it. we are waiting to find out if they made it and if they beat the record by how much. caroline: you have a great story showing how tesla's double-edged sword in terms of deliveries. but even if they sell the number of model 3's they are pushing out, some of the buyers, maybe not as lucrative as they had hoped. dana: the number of deliveries is super important. if tesla can show they rebounded from a dismal first quarter and broke a record, that would do a lot. the big question is margin and mix. if they sold a lot of lower end model 3's, that will impact growth margins. there is concerned model 3 is cannibalizing the model s, which has been the more expensive car. i spoke to one owner that is waiting for the model s refresh and decided to get a model 3 instead. it will be interesting to see what percentage of the cars

elon musk wants to make that a reality pretty soon for tesla owners. he announced on twitter this weekend that the company will soon allow video streaming from services like netflix, youtube Ãdrivers could watch videos on their touchscreen display. he added that this could arrive soon as august, but drivers will not be able to watch videos on the go, only when they are part. yeah, right. >>> a close call from patrol officers in alaska. this captures the moment that the cruiser nearly missed hitting the moose and her calf. police say that mama moose and her baby are both okay. >>> speaking of luck, one lottery ticket owner in the east bay has a big payday coming their way. the fantasy five ticket was sold yesterday official gas station in any act. the prize just over $161,000. the winning numbers seven 21 24 29 and 38. >>> kevin durant may have left the warriors. >> but his impact on the community lives on. today the recreation park department celebrated the opening of the playground. this multicolored surface for the basketball court was originally fu

how big is it for the outside shareholder to criticize elon musk? >> he has done this three times now in a year. you heard him reference in his conference a year ago, he used the phrase peace and execution as something he would like to see out of tesla. this was just after elon had made headlines for calling the cave diver in thailand a pedophile. and going after analysts on an earnings call. to his credit, tesla managed that. they had a great second half of last year. they got the model three going. but they did not have peace. it was just a few weeks later that he tweeted that he was considering taking the company private. unpacking what he said yesterday, he talked about setting these potential unrealistic targets. and setting precise deadlines for them. he very much has done that. he talked about the idea that there will be one million self driving teslas on the road by next year. he has had the sudden shifts and approaches to policy at tesla. -- most notably the retail approach. he suddenly set we are going to close on most all of our stores. w

. >>> welcome back to "fast money" shares of tesla spark today as a leaked e-mail from ceo elon musk got the street excited for the details let's head to phil lebeau in chicago hey, phil. >> reporter: we are actually in atlanta. we will talk more about that, why we're down here. but the story about tesla can be told from anywhere the leaked e-mail was sent last night from the president of tesla, and while it didn't have any details it had a couple of important point in there that the tesla bulls definitely grabbed on to. first of all, he said in terms of production they are preparing for an increase in production. he didn't give a time frame. he didn't give any numbers in terms of how much production would go up, but he also said that the china plant, the one that's being built in shanghai, they are making progress there, rapid progress remember, they've already said by the end of the year they expect to begin production there. so if you're a tesla bull, you look at this leaked e-mail and say, fantastic news. one reason why the stock moved higher today but it has us thinking, we have

elon musk is one of the cofounders -- but he left the board last year. how involved is elon musk? greg: he is no longer involved. he had to leave due to a conflict with tesla. emily: if you are the ones moving ai forward -- greg: ai technology is becoming very powerful. that means there are amazing benefits and amazing applications. imagine a personalized tutor that can really understand you and is available free to every person on the planet. that's the kind of system we want to create. you also have to ask, what are the risks? some already have bad implications in the world, and how we -- how do we maximize the benefits and reduce the downside? we have to make sure we keep it safe and secure to mitigate the downside. emily: how is that a conflict with tesla? greg: they are also working on ai. emily: where will ai take us in five years? greg: the timeline is hard to predict. just looking at previous technological e asians, in 1878 thomas edison announce he was going to create -- british parliament put together a committee of distinguished excellence and said it would not work. it

elon musk plans to propel 12,000 satellites into orbit. bezos hass -- jeff asked the sec to approve 1200. private company oneweb says it plans to launch a satellite a month by december. the goal -- to bring broadband access to the roughly 4 billion people on earth who do not yet have it. see going you can forward that access to broadband is going to be close to being a fundamental need. emily: while that goal may seem noble, these satellites are designed to fly lower, leaving astronomers concerns they will interfere with observation of distant galaxies. then there's the cost -- they cost nearly $1 million to produce. it cost really $16.5 million for spacex to launch 60 satellites into orbit. $1.6 billion was invested in to space companies this year alone according to d.c. firm space and jewels, newly double the amount deployed a quarter earlier. with these satellites, the space economy, so to speak, appears ready for takeoff. emily: we continue our look now at how satellites can bring economy online with what of the companies you just hear

elon musk said the company would become profitable later this year. it looks like that's not going to happen. >> they are still trying for it. it should be said there are two things going on with tesla. they've been pushing like crazy for volume. they want to be a large volume car manufacturer, one of the biggest in the world long-term. this car that they are selling does not have great margins, it seems. they pushed so hard to get the price down to that magic base price, got there. it has come up a tiny bit, but margins are supertight on those low in cars. as people by the cheaper model three, they are moving away from more expensive cars, so there is a pressure on profit that at the very least as a near-term problem and critics are going to say this is a long-term problem. this is a company that will have a hard time getting to profitability. emily: is it a near or long-term problem? >> it's much rue, the model three they actually had better , soins quarter over quarter it's not true. they are making improvements on gross margin, so i'm not sure wha

is this a clear win for elon musk or do we face headwinds on the horizon? max: any time you blow the estimates out of the water these -- this way, you have to look at it like a win. coming into the quarter, you have two concerns. one was demand, the other piece was kind of logistics. could tesla get the cars to people in a timely and cost-effective manner? and so i'd say on the logistics piece, they are performing well despite some acknowledged difficulties. now, on the demand side, the real question is what happens in the long run? you have consumers in the u.s. rushing to get these model 3's, to take advantage of this tax incentives that will shrink. you also have people not buying the expensive cars. we don't know how this will shake out. tesla is still a relatively new brand. it will be interesting to see what happens if and when they refresh these luxury lines. that could be just the thing that causes people who were model free buyers to trade up -- model three buyers to trade up. taylor: that tax credit, as it shrinks in half, how much of a tailwind w
