Tesla’s Q2 earnings are fast approaching, and all eyes are on whether the EV giant can reignite investor confidence. After a shaky start to the year, declining deliveries, and intense price competition, Tesla needs a strong narrative — and many are hoping the Model Y “L” variant can be that bright spot.

What’s the Model Y “L”?

Dubbed as a long-range, low-cost refresh of Tesla’s most popular SUV, the Model Y “L” variant is designed to meet regulatory incentives in China while offering a better driving range and improved affordability. The vehicle is already generating strong buzz in local markets, with reports of rising test drives and orders.

Why It Matters for Q2

China momentum: Tesla has been under pressure in China, losing ground to BYD and other domestic players. A successful Model Y refresh could help reverse that trend.

Margins at stake: With price cuts and competition eroding margins, the Model Y “L” could be key to defending profitability — especially if volumes rebound.

Narrative reset: Tesla needs more than AI and robotaxis to stabilize sentiment. A successful core product update could re-anchor investor trust.

Street Expectations

Wall Street is divided. Some expect a conservative report with weak margins and flat growth. Others are betting Tesla has held back surprises — especially in energy storage, FSD licensing, and cost efficiency — and could exceed lowered expectations.

The Bigger Picture

Even if the earnings report is mixed, a strong showing from the Model Y “L” could hint at a product-driven recovery in the second half of the year. Tesla bulls are watching closely: this could be the pivot point, or another dip before the rebound.

1 Trln Pay Package Approved! Tesla Sell the News: Hold for Long Term?
On November 6, more than 75% of shareholders voted in favor of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s new compensation package. Under the plan, if Musk meets a series of milestones over the next ten years, he will gradually receive about 423.7 million restricted stock units (RSUs) — up to USD 1 trillion. Can Musk realistically hit these ambitious milestones in the next decade? Will this massive pay package truly align Tesla’s growth with shareholder interests After the approval, is Tesla a “sell the news” trade — or a long-term conviction hold?
