Tesla's 'aging portfolio' is a bigger issue than its prices

Shares of Tesla (TSLA) are trading higher following its shareholder meeting, which alluded to new offerings coming to market after the approval of Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package. Citi autos equity research analyst Itay Michaeli joins the Morning Brief to discuss why Tesla's product innovation is key to driving growth. Michaeli notes that there is "a lot of anticipation for the next round of new products from Tesla." He explains that the company has mentioned introducing more affordable EV models, for which investors await two crucial factors: the price point and "the overall design and content of these vehicles." The main concern for investors will be whether these new vehicles can "generate the same type of hype" seen with previous Tesla models. If so, Michaeli believes it could drive substantial growth in the company's share price. "We want to see a lot of innovation, maybe different design languages. Really whatever it takes... to create a lot of incremental excitement," Michaeli told Yahoo Finance. Read more about what's next for Tesla here.
