Firings

Earlier this month, Tesla cut an unknown number of jobs in China, in the wake of what the company has called disappointing sales.

Tesla began China deliveries a year ago and obtained 2014 revenue there of $477 million, out of total revenue of $3.2 billion.

The Palo Alto-based Tesla operates nine stores and service centers in six Chinese cities. Despite challenges there, Tesla believes that the country could be one of its largest markets within a few years.

Tesla changed hands recently at $193.72, up $3.15 in extended trading after closing up about 3 percent Monday.

'A Major New Product Line'

Earlier on Monday, Chief Executive Elon Musk said a "major new product line" will be unveiled next month, but didn't offer further details.
