    While I agree with the overall gist I think it's unfair to compare Q1 gross margin vs Q4 grossmargins of Mercedes, Ford and GM. There's no way only Tesla's gross margin will go down, the whole industry is in a straight line down right now. Mercedes will be better equipped as they onlysell luxury cars which have much bigger margins. But GM and Ford aren't selling much right now. Toyota and Honda are down double digits in sales. So yes, they can park their production at the dealer or on parking spots but Tesla wants to sell all vehicles it produces and that comes at a cost (literally). Demand is off for now, it will be interesting to see how the macro is developing and if inflation is coming down faster than anticipated. "Fasten your seat belts", it's going to be a rough ride!

      This is a good Point but obviously all those short sellers and analysts with low price targets will always pick on the smallest deviation from estimates. The whole industry is going down right now. And no, Tesla isn’t a car maker and never will be. I wish they would stop writing this BS
