Surrounded by controversies, Tesla (TSLA) will conduct its 2018 annual shareholder meeting at 5:30 PM ET today. The meeting is to take place at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. Watch out this space to know what CEO Elon Musk is going to say as he addresses the Tesla shareholders. Will he get “bored” with some questions?

When Tesla tweeted about shareholder meeting and asked to tweet the questions for Elon to answer, people bombarded with questions on various issues. Obviously, there were questions related to Model 3 production, accidents caused by automotive cars, Elon snubbing analysts’ questions in the earnings call, his lashing out on how media covers Tesla, energy business, cash burn, and many more.

Tesla has displayed the Model 3, Model S, Model X, and a Tesla Semi prototype for this meeting. The attendees are capturing these vehicles and they have started sharing on social media platforms. But the eye-catching one is the display of new next-gen Roadster prototype.

The Elon-Musk headed firm reported upbeat results for its recently ended first quarter in early May and reiterated its outlook of achieving positive GAAP net income and positive cash flow in third and fourth quarters of the current fiscal year.
