. He said that the Model 3 is going to be released by the end of 2017, and he is not sure that the company has a lot to offer between now and then.

Nathan explained that the stock is very correlated to crude oil, but after the announcement of the Model 3 it has outperformed crude oil. He believes that Tesla Motors Inc is going to pull back towards $200 in coming months, because expectations are high and there are not a lot of catalysts until the release of Model 3.
