The
automaker is expected to start shipments of its revamped Model 3
compact sedan and the "Blade Runner"-inspired Cybertruck in the
last three months of the year, after factory retooling in the
third quarter that sapped deliveries and ate into earnings.
The company's spending is, however, expected to return to the $7
billion and $9 billion range in the next two years, a regulatory
filing showed.
CEO Elon Musk said at Tesla's earnings call earlier this month
that the company was hesitating on its plans for a factory in
Mexico as it grapples with a turbulent economic outlook.
He warned that rising interest rates could impact demand at
Tesla, which has turned to a margin-sapping price war this year
to maintain sales.
Tesla's shares were down 1.2% in premarket trading in a broadly
weaker market.
