$TSLA earnings tonight key points: Bottom line: I expect the stock to be flat to up on earnings. In the end, investors who believe in Tesla's view will be unchanged after earnings. ➡️When the numbers hit the first two factors that investors will be focused on is ASP's in a post tax credit world and gross margins. ➡️ASP in Sep were $41.8K ➡️Auto margins ex credits are expected to be 13.6%. ➡️That compares to 15.4% in Sep, 15% in June and 12.5% in March. I expect margins will end 2025 closer to 15%. The meat that investors are looking for will come on the earnings call. ➡️How many cities will roll out this year for Robotaxi without a safety driver. Elon had said they would add 6-8 cities previously. ➡️There is little he will say on Optimus or FSD in Europe in China beyond what he said last week at Davos. ➡️Last is commentary about deliveries this year. The Street is looking for up 7%. It needs to be flat to keep investors comfortable.
