After weeks (or in some cases, months!) of holiday shopping, most consumers are getting ready to kick back and relax with an eggnog in hand and open their gifts. Sounds merry, right?

New York CNN Business  —  A tumultuous quarter at Tesla ended with some very good sales numbers. The company delivered 83,500 vehicles during the third quarter, a strong performance that should calm investor fears about logistical problems and a looming cash crunch.
