The first quarter of the year is usually a make or break for the company's annual performance and it could dictate what could happen for its popularity and patronage of its products. But for Tesla to absolutely crush it, is a big win for the electric vehicle manufacturer and clean energy company, despite the many controversies and drawbacks for them.

Recently, the company has been entangled in an issue that questions the safety of its Autopilot feature, after it has been allegedly reported to take the life of 2 passengers who allegedly went driverless with the feature. This came after the Q1 safety report of Tesla, saying that the Autopilot was safer than ever, and it features 10 times more safety than an average vehicle.
