It is difficult to track the latest developments at Tesla, as it appears that the electric car manufacturer that runs him, Elon Musk, has taken a surprising move to cancel the service that deals with the media.

There is no doubt that "Tesla" did not cut off communication with the general public, through its website and documents submitted to the American Financial Market Regulatory Authority and social networking sites, and its founder is very active on social media.

On Wednesday, the company is expected to publish its results for the third quarter of this year and is planning to organize a conference call between its administrative staff and analysts.

However, correspondents specialized in this matter, including those of Agence France-Presse, have noticed in recent months that inquiries directed to the company's headquarters in California remain unanswered, whether that is regarding questions about accidents involving brand cars, upcoming events or activities Group in China.

A source on the "Electric" website, which specializes in this regard, reported that the department in charge of media relations had been dissolved.

Since the beginning of the year, several employees in the communications department have left the company, or are they transferred to other jobs.

For Global Equities Research analyst Tripp Choudhury, it is not surprising that Tesla decided to cut direct ties with journalists.

The group can count on its loyal customers to defend it and on Elon Musk's 39 million Twitter followers to spread good news, the analyst said.
