Electric-car maker Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) plans to announce its results for its first quarter of 2017 on Wednesday, May 3, the company said on Thursday. Ahead of its important Model 3 launch later this year, the quarterly update comes at a critical time for the company. Not only will it help investors get a glimpse into Tesla’s financials ahead of its plans for a rapid ramp-up in vehicle production, but it will likely provide some insight into Tesla’s progress on bringing its Model 3 to market.
