Key Points:
My advice is to buy 20-25% for your first trade and buy up or down for the rest of it. l am as comfortable to buy at the $150-$160 levels now as averaging down at $120 and $102 if things go south after earnings report.

Key Points:
Teslas beginning to 2024 was worse than expected. Earnings fell 55% in the first quarter, and quarterly sales declined year-over-year for the first time in nearly four years. Both numbers were below analysts' average estimate.
Musk said Tesla was accelerating the launch of new models, including vehicles that would sell at more affordable prices.
Musks Desire for More Control. In January, Musk said he wouldn't feel comfortable developing robotics and artificial intelligence at Tesla without having 25% voting control of the company's stock. "Unless that is the case, I would prefer to build products outside of Tesla," he tweeted.
3. @EV_Dig: However, cheap models also face fierce competition and profitability issues. Given Tesla's PE ratio of 65, cheap models are not a panacea for saving Tesla.
Key Points:
The decline in revenue was mainly affected by low sales volume, Tesla sold 386,800 vehicles in the first quarter of this year, down 8.5% year-over-year.
According to the China Passenger Car Association, Tesla's sales in China in March were only up 0.2% year-over-year, at 89,064 units.
In the European and American markets, consumers are gradually favoring plug-in hybrid vehicles. According to the Wall Street Journal, plug-in hybrid sales in the US market surged 43% in the first quarter, while bettery electric vehicle sales flattened out, only growing 2.7% for the quarter.
However, cheap models also face fierce competition and profitability issues. Given Tesla's PE ratio of 65, cheap models are not a panacea for saving Tesla.

Besides, AWS technology is also another key factor, turning Tesla's huge fleet into distributed inference computing GPUs with their own AI computing computers, power and cooling systems, which can be used to rent for computing power when they are idle.
I think this rebound is a good start for Tesla, however Tesla needs to prove its plans in incoming quarters. Else the share price will be back to square.
Personally, I am still a fan of Tesla stock! $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ gogoogogo

$Direxion Daily TSLA Bear 1X Shares(TSLS)$ or $T-REX 2X INVERSE TESLA DAILY TARGET ETF(TSLZ)$ in the short term. note - leverage ETF is not for the weak
in the meantime, buy $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ on a discount at the support level to keep for longer term. Elon is too arrogant to let his baby go bust
