Different expectations for the TSLA shareholder’s letter and analyst name
Past the monetary outcomes, Tesla all the time offers broader updates and solutions shareholder questions in its shareholder letter and convention name with administration following the discharge of the outcomes.
Tesla gathers questions from shareholders from the “Say Applied sciences” web site.
Listed below are the at the moment most upvoted questions more likely to be answered by administration:
- When precisely is the robo taxi occasion if not 08/08
- When do you anticipate the primary Robotaxi trip?
- What are Tesla’s 2 greatest precedence for subsequent 5 years?
- What’s the present standing of 4680 battery cell manufacturing and the way is the ramp-up progressing?

I’ve to say that these are horrible questions, nevertheless it’s not too shocking contemplating the place Tesla shareholders are right now. They’re nearly all about Tesla’s program delays, they usually have all been answered considerably not too long ago.
If you wish to concentrate on the optimistic, I’d ask concerning the state of vitality storage gross margin amid the brand new report deployment. That will make a giant distinction.
However I believe probably the most impactful a part of the earnings may find yourself being a steerage change for the yr. With the primary two quarters being down year-over-year, there’s a danger that Tesla may not have the ability to flip issues round within the second half of the yr and it must regulate steerage for the yr.
Tune in after market shut for our protection of the shareholder’s letter and the convention name.
