Tesla's New Product Announcement Bumped To Wednesday

Shares of Tesla opened for trading last Monday at $201.35 and were range bound for all of last week between a weekly low of $196.30 (Friday) and high of $203.88 (Wednesday).

Tesla's stock closed on Friday at $196.51, down nearly 2 percent for the day.

A second product announcement is also expected to be announced on October 28.

Trip Chowdhry of Global Equities Research said in a research report that his "best guess" is that Tesla will introduce an "all-solar roof" for its Model S and Model X vehicles, and the new features will be added to Tesla's lineup in 2018.

The analyst also suggested that Tesla is working on two variations of its Model 3 sedan — a car version and cross-over version.
