Why Tesla Is Still a Winner

All signs point to a big 2013.

By Tim Beyers and Alison Southwick – Feb 25, 2013 at 11:45PM EST

So much for occupying the pole position. Tesla Motors (TSLA 2.42%) paid the price for helping pioneer the mass market for electric cars when higher costs forced the company to come $0.12 short of fourth quarter estimates. The stock promptly fell 10% on the news.
