Massive New Tesla Price Cuts in US, Canada

Massive New Tesla Price Cuts in US, Canada

While these cuts make Tesla vehicles more accessible and eligible for incentives, many models remain more expensive than in 2021.

Tesla Stock Falls as Demand Concerns Take Hold

Tesla Stock Falls as Demand Concerns Take Hold

The Tesla stock experienced a significant downturn following the Q4 delivery report, primarily driven by growing concerns over vehicle demand. Analyst... s are questioning the sustainability of Tesla's order book, with some estimates suggesting that less than 65% of Q4 deliveries were new orders, indicating a potential slowdown despite aggressive price discounting. The market's sentiment is shifting towards a belief that Tesla's growth may be plateauing, especially for the Model 3 and Model Y, with uncertainty surrounding the next-generation platform.

Tesla Reports Q4 Deliveries & Production

Tesla Reports Q4 Deliveries & Production

Tesla's Q4 2022 delivery and production report reveals record numbers but falls slightly short of analyst consensus and the company's own ex... pectations. Production reached 439,000 vehicles (47% year-over-year growth), while deliveries hit 405,000 (40% year-over-year growth). Both figures represent quarterly and annual records, yet the delivery numbers were approximately 6.5% below the reviewer's estimate and slightly under analyst consensus. The report highlights a significant increase in inventory, now estimated at 71,000 vehicles, translating to about 13 days of supply, up from 8 days in the previous quarter. While this is still low compared to the broader automotive industry, it signals a potential shift in demand. The reviewer discusses concerns about future growth, particularly for 2023, questioning Tesla's ability to maintain its 50% annual growth target given the current trajectory and the ambiguity surrounding previous guidance. The impact of the Shanghai factory shutdown and end-of-quarter discounts in the US are also discussed as contributing factors to the results. less

Big EV Credit Updates, Tesla Production Estimates, Leaked Musk Email

This episode of Tesla Daily provides a comprehensive update on key developments impacting Tesla and the EV market. The reviewer highlights significant... news regarding US EV tax credits, noting the IRS's interim guidance which lists Tesla Model 3 (RWD, Long Range) and various Model Y trims as eligible. A point of contention is the MSRP cap, where Model Y 7-seaters qualify as SUVs ($80k cap) while 5-seaters are classified as sedans ($55k cap), a distinction the reviewer finds illogical given the vehicles' similarities. The episode also covers a leaked email from Elon Musk encouraging employees to maximize year-end deliveries, a positive sign for the company's performance focus. Production and delivery estimates for Q4 are presented, with a forecast of approximately 450,000 vehicles produced, though deliveries are projected slightly lower at 434,000, potentially leading to increased inventory. Analyst Alex Potter's reiteration of an 'overweight' rating and $340 price target for TSLA is also discussed, contrasting with other analysts' downward revisions. Overall, the content offers valuable insights into regulatory changes, internal company directives, and market expectations. less

Musk anticipates a recession comparable to 2009, which he believes will impact demand for discretionary items, including vehicles.

New Tesla Semi Details, Inventory Discounts, Morgan Stanley Note

This episode delves into several key Tesla updates, with a significant focus on the Tesla Semi. Pepsi leadership provided details on their planned rol... lout of 100 Semis in 2023, deploying 15 from Modesto and 21 from Sacramento, with the remaining trucks destined for the central US and East Coast. However, comments from Pepsi's VP Mike O'Connell regarding range were confusing; he stated the Semi could haul Frito-Lay products for 425 miles, but only 100 miles for heavier soda loads, contradicting Tesla's demonstrated 500-mile range with full payloads. O'Connell also mentioned 750kW chargers, which seems inconsistent with the Semi's megawatt-plus charging capability. The review also touches on Tesla's inventory discounts in Europe, Elon Musk's interview with Lex Fridman, potential FSD V11 release, and Morgan Stanley's updated note on Tesla's market cap and future earnings estimates.
