 | Jun 08, 2015 10:08AM ET

Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been garnering a lot of attention from Wall Street analysts and investors over the past several years as it rolls out new models of its luxury electric vehicles. Most recently, Tesla is slated to release the Model X, an all-wheel-drive crossover SUV that will be cheaper than the Model S.


Additionally, Tesla will release the Model 3 next March and be available for regular purchase in 2017. At $35,000 the Model 3 will be the most affordable Tesla to hit the market. Investors hope that the Model 3 will fill the void of an affordable, small, electric vehicle and boost sales.
Tesla also recently announced that it will go beyond cars and enter the energy storage sector with its home battery product; Powerwall. Powerwall will be charged through solar panels and will be equipped to power homes at night as well as provide backup electricity in the event of a power outage. The Powerwall will be retailed at $3,000 and become available for delivery in late summer.
