    Tesla's growth plan may be adding 'too much hope': YouTuber

    Tesla (TSLA) stock is running up as 12% in Wednesday's market session even though the EV maker reported a first-quarter earnings miss on its top and bottom lines. Tesla CEO Elon Musk's comments on the earnings call seem to be the main catalyst driving shares higher as he hinted that affordable electric vehicles from the company could be on the horizon. Although many Wall Street teams are skeptical of the timely release of a cheap EV from Tesla, Kevin Paffrath — a financial analyst and YouTuber who posts content on his channel "Meet Kevin" — is optimistic about seeing a "very hope-filled Elon" and the odds of Tesla refreshing its product inventory.
