BREAKING: #Tesla misses its yearly delivery forecast by 500,450 units maybe, 450 units definitely & its Robotaxi forecast by at least 1,000,001 units.

1/

$TSLA $TSLAQ

businessinsider.com/elon-musk-hedg…
2/ Tesla has made 12.5k more Model 3's than it has sold in 2020, even after having started the year with ample inventory. #Tesla isn't production constrained, it's demand constrained.

$TSLA $TSLAQ
3/ #Tesla had at least 635k stated production capacity, accounting for shutdowns (and a bit more). We know that in reality, Shanghai made more than stated capacity. That's 80% utilization. Skoda runs at 120%. $TSLA isn't production constrained, it's demand constrained.

$TSLAQ
4/ #Tesla has cut prices more times than I can count just to slightly miss the several times revised, last time in July stated targets. By July, in fact April, the pandemic should have been over according to the CEO, so it shouldn't have affected anything

5/ #Tesla has missed its Robotaxi guidance by at least 1,000,001 units.

The status of Robotaxis fluctuates more heavily than COVID symptoms in more severe cases.

6/ What doesn't fluctuate: most analysts, bulls and journalists cheer results of the car-maker that's valued more than all non-Chinese car-makers combined but Toyota, despite making half as many cars as Subaru, for a mkt cap/car of $1,380M, that's 151 times more than VW's.
7/ VW sold more than half as many BEVs as #Tesla in Q4, has an installed BEV capacity of ~1.2M/yr, will likely beat $TSLA in 2021 in BEVs (or get dangerously close), and another ~10M ICE cars and a few hundred thousand trucks, buses and motorbikes come as a bonus for 1/7 $TSLAQ.
8/ After $TSLA's SP increasing by 740% in 2020, one would think investors shall be cautious. But the EV bubble shows that there is still some space for Tesla to improve as Chinese rivals are far ahead in mkt cap/car sold.
9/ To sum up, after my substantial short losses on #Tesla, I've finally learned how to play this game, and developed a method to accurately predict $TSLA's share price. Trade carefully, $TSLAQ.

1/ Now that I’ve reached 4206.9 followers, I thought it’d be time for a *short* historical overview.

I’ve joined Twitter in October of 2018. I had a specific reason in mind regarding $TSLAQ, so I wanted to become part of the community.

$TSLA
2/ But I haven’t planned my presence for long. Hence my handle: I wanted something I couldn’t emotionally relate to. @fly4dat sounded like something even below neutral. Who likes flies anyway? Not even flies do in some cases.
3/ First, I was trying to add value by finding some strange stuff, of which, at that time, have been way more than now.

Lots of speculation about M3 ramp-up, SuX refresh (LOL), and the evergreen scams: FSD, the Semi, the Roadster.

1/ ICCT came out with their October European analysis. Bottom line: Daimler, FCA/Tesla/Honda and VW don't look good, Ford-Volvo not too close while the others are close to the target.

$TSLA $TSLAQ
2/ However, if you look close enough, October #'s are usually much closer to the targets (that vary by OEM! as their car sizes and other parameters vary too) than yearly averages. Based on that alone, Nov/Dec will help pretty much everone better than average reach targets.
3/ For example, look at Daimler: their share of electrified vehicles has doubled during the year.

Oct figures don't include models like Volvo XC40, Renault Twingo, Fiat 500e, VW ID.4 and others that will add to Nov-Dec data, while most others have a strong EOY push.

1/ #Tesla 🇪🇺 Nov #'s have started to come in.

Important: ships came late so Nov is totally irrelevant but for SuX (which stands at -50% YoY but will get somewhat less bad with more countries reporting).

$TSLA $TSLAQ ImageImage
2/ More #Tesla 🇪🇺 Nov #'s are in.

Again: Important: ships came late so Nov is totally irrelevant but for SuX (which stands at -39% YoY).

Expect DE, PT, LU tomorrow, UK on Fri, monthly breakdowns and EE next week. We still don't have GR Oct.

3/ #Tesla 🇪🇺 Nov #'s now include DE and detailed CH

1/ This is a serious topic worth digging into. I've been discussing with friends for a while what the escape plan could be?

$TSLA $TSLAQ
2/ Shareholders of other OEMs are shareholders there and not in Tesla for a reason. They wouldn't accept $TSLA shares without guarantees that they can get out safely. However, financial engineering has always been Tesla's strong suit, and there is too much at stake here.
3/ Others argue that $TSLA would fail at a DD. Well, there are always some utterly corrupt C-suites, not necessarily only Italians, if you know what I mean. Also, 2/ answers the DD question too.

1/ 8 #Tesla ships have sailed to Europe🇪🇺 this quarter, and it's unlikely that there will be more.

With inventory, that means they will have ~30k M3's available for delivery in EU. Compares to 31.8k last Q4.

$TSLA $TSLAQ
2/ But there is always some inventory left (logistics hiccups, rejects, even if everything gets sold). 2-3k seems to be the minimum now, so 27-28k is a theoretical maximum.

As we don't yet know December demand, I'll report back with my estimate later. Expect 24-28k.
3/ That 10-15% yearly M3 fall is after SuX drop of 30-35%. In a market where BEV sales ex-Tesla will have grown by 150% (2.5x).

🚨🪄MAGIC🪄🚨!

The new #Tesla SR+ MIC with LFP battery needs 142Wh/km, while the old one needed 149Wh/km.

MIC weighs 1,874kg, US M3 SR+ weighed 1,720kg.

What a drag coefficient reduction a chrome delete does! Oh, wait, no chrome delete to be seen.

$TSLA $TSLAQ
And it's still a 4-seater at the very best.

h/t to my beautiful assistant who asked to remain anonymous.
