New York auto show previews Tesla's future competition with more than 40 electric vehicles on display
More than 40 vehicles using some form of battery power are on display at the New York International Auto Show. Two of the three finalists for World Car of the Year at the 2019 New York show are fully electric. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to call this year's New York International Auto Show "electrifying," not when you consider that more than 40 vehicles using some form of electric power are on display at the Jacob Javits convention center.

Tesla’s Real Problem? It’s a Car Stock Priced Like a Tech Stock
Right now Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is a stock a lot of people want to hate. While the NASDAQ averages are up 20% so far in 2019, Tesla stock is down nearly 20%.Source: Shutterstock Greenlight Capital CEO David Einhorn is among the loudest detractors. He writes "the wheels are coming off" and thinks Tesla is on the brink of failure.Earnings estimates for the March quarter, to be reported April 24, are grim. Average analyst estimates predict a loss of 75 cents, but the earnings whisper number is a loss of $1.13. Revenue is expected to come in at $5.33 billion, against $7.2 billion during the fourth quarter of last year.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Is Tesla Failing?Tesla still sells more like a tech stock than an auto stock. The market cap on April 15 was about $46 billion, against 2018 revenue of $21.46 billion. By contrast, rivals like General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Ford Motor (NYSE:F) sell at just one-third their revenues. * 3 Stocks on Shaky Ground As far back as 2016 I identified scaling production as Tesla's main challenge. As recently as last month, I asked if CEO Elon Musk's magic had disappeared.But Tesla is not going out of business.In September, Tesla had almost as much of the U.S. luxury car market as BMW (OTCMKTS:BMWYY) and Mercedes-Benz (OTCMKTS:DDAIF) combined. The Model S took 36% of the U.S. market for large luxury cars last year. The Model X has nearly one-fifth the luxury SUV market. The Model 3 is the best-selling electric in the world. Tesla's ProblemsTesla's problems today are real, but they're different than those I identified in 2016.Tesla can now mass produce cars, but it still lacks the infrastructure to deliver them. As more of its cars hit the road, problems with them are being uncovered. Consumer Reports is no longer recommending the Tesla Model 3. The factory is picking up environmental fines.Musk himself remains incorrigible, tweeting a forecast that Tesla will deliver 500,000 cars over the next 12 months before telling investors. Musk is trying to eliminate his dealer network, going to all-online sales. He is backing away from the long-promised $35,000 price point of the Model 3. He is reportedly putting off plans to expand Tesla's battery plant in Nevada.Additionally,Tesla and Elon Musk are in bad political odor with an Administration committed to oil. Not only do Republicans want to kill incentives for electric vehicles, they want to add new taxes on them.During 2017 and 2018 Musk tried to charm President Trump but he now says the President "screwed him."Short interest in Tesla stock is exploding. Over 32 million shares are being sold short with a float of just 126 million while one-quarter of shares are held by insiders. The Bottom Line for Tesla StockTesla stock rose before it was a real car company.Now it is a real car company. It is experiencing all the problems associated with being a real car company.But Tesla is not a failing car company. It is still a growing car company. It is building its own factory in China. It has plans to offer a crossover, a pick-up, a roadster, and even a semi-truck. The problem with Tesla stock is that it's still priced like a tech stock. * 7 Tech Stocks With Too Much Risk, Not Enough Upside I still think the short interest in Tesla is overdone, however. As the saying goes, he who sells what isn't his'n, must buy it back or go to pris'n. I suspect the shorts are about to get squeezed again.Dana Blankenhorn is a financial and technology journalist.

Why China’s auto market can bounce back
A sales decline of 6 per cent is rarely a cause for celebration. The statement by Germany’s Volkswagen is a sign of the gloom surrounding car groups in the world’s biggest automotive market, where sales fell for the first time in almost three decades last year. VW’s 6.3 per cent drop in the first quarter against an overall market decline of 14 per cent in the period follows an economic slowdown that has cast a cloud across the sector.

2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 First Drive Review | A sophisticated evolution
The Mercedes-Benz CLA was a bold move for the big German luxury brand when it launched six years ago with a shockingly low starting price of just under $30,000. Back then, Mercedes was more about spendy sleds like the S-Class than youth-friendly offerings, which led purists to grouse that an affordable entry model could squander the brand's hard-earned cachet. The argument wasn't helped by early concerns about interior build quality: was the cheap starter Benz destined to cheapen the brand?
