It is more than double the net income of $438 million in the first quarter and more than 10 times the net income in the same period last year. It is worth noting that in this quarter, Tesla's carbon credit revenue was only US $354 million. Even without counting this revenue, Tesla still achieved profitability by selling cars and energy products.</p><p>Such growth is mainly due to Tesla's soaring car production and deliveries. The company produced 206,000 electric vehicles in the second quarter, a year-on-year increase of 151%; A total of 201,000 vehicles were delivered, a year-on-year increase of 121%, of which Model 3 and Model Y accounted for 199,000 vehicles in total, a year-on-year increase of 148%.</p><p>But Tesla is still in danger. The plans CEO Musk previously promised to realize this year, such as the mass production of 4680 batteries, the construction of new factories, the launch of new Cybertruck models, etc., have not been realized so far. The new project is behind schedule, and in China, Tesla is mired in the mire of negative public opinion and it is difficult to escape.</p><p>Following the earnings release, Tesla shares rose just 0.99% in after-hours trading.</p><p>However, Musk still goes his own way and does not play cards according to common sense, and is full of confidence in the company. Musk said on Tesla's second-quarter earnings call that he may no longer attend quarterly earnings calls in the future, \"unless there is something very important that I need to say.\"</p><p>Overview of key points 1. In the second quarter, Tesla's sales in China declined month-on-month, and the negative impact of safety accidents such as brake failure on Tesla began to gradually appear. 2. The second quarter is a milestone for Tesla. For the first time, Tesla has truly achieved profitability by selling cars and energy products. 3. Tesla lost US $23 million in speculating on Bitcoin in the second quarter. 4. Tesla's Texas factory and Berlin factory are expected to start construction this year, but Musk himself has not been able to say when they will start construction.<b>Global sales surge, but China sales fall</b></p><p>In the second quarter of 2021, Tesla delivered a new high-201,200 vehicles. This is also the first time Tesla has delivered more than 200,000 vehicles in a quarter.</p><p>Including the 184,800 vehicles delivered in the first quarter, in the first half of the year, Tesla's total delivery of electric vehicles reached 386,000 vehicles, which is a very good result, and half of the annual delivery target of 750,000 vehicles has been completed.</p><p>But as far as China is concerned, the situation is not optimistic. Tesla usually only discloses global data in its earnings report. According to data from the Passenger Car Association, Tesla's retail sales in June were 28,138 vehicles, an increase from 21,936 vehicles in May. But it still failed to return to the level of March.</p><p>Tesla delivered 35,478 vehicles in March this year, a record. However, a \"brake failure\" rights protection incident occurred in April. Since then, Tesla's sales in China have begun to decline, especially in April, when sales plummeted by 67%, and only 11,671 vehicles were delivered that month. Also because of the decline in sales in the past three months, Tesla's retail sales in China in the second quarter of 2021 were 61,700, a decrease of 10.87% from the first quarter.</p><p>The sales of other electric vehicle brands are rapidly catching up, such as<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/002594\">BYD</a>40,317 new energy vehicles were delivered in June, and SAIC-GM-Wuling delivered 31,285 vehicles in June. New domestic car-making forces<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">Nio</a>In June, the monthly delivery volume exceeded 8,000 units (8,083 units) for the first time, a year-on-year increase of 116.1%. These younger brothers who were originally dismissed by Tesla have now risen and even begun to grab Tesla's territory.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2392d6ddced169db7879993defdf1a4b\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"325\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Data source/company official website, Passenger Car Association</p><p>The negative public opinion on safety accidents did have an impact on Tesla's Chinese market in the second quarter.</p><p>Investors and analysts are waiting to see if Tesla can handle the public opinion crisis in the Chinese market. \"For Tesla, the growth story in China is the most important.\" Securities analysts at Wedbush Securities once pointed out: \"This is Tesla's main market, and we believe 40% of their sales next year will come from there. I think this is the key to the stock price rising or falling.\"</p><p>In order to stay in China, Tesla is \"making up lessons\". For example, on June 26, Tesla planned to recall 285,000 imported Model 3 and domestically produced Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, and apologized for this recall for the first time.</p><p><b>Lost $23 million in speculation on Bitcoin</b></p><p>Although Tesla has achieved positive profitability for several consecutive quarters, there is a lot of water in it. For example, in the first quarter of 2021, Tesla's net profit of US $438 million was supported by US $518 million in carbon emission credit revenue and US $101 million earned by speculating on Bitcoin.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f8a8e0e5456bb2987b851e8bc7c285b\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"330\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source/Company Earnings</p><p>In the second quarter, Tesla's net profit of US $1.142 billion exceeded market expectations. This was also its first quarterly net profit exceeded US $1 billion.</p><p>When it comes to Tesla's financial situation, the key words that cannot be escaped are carbon emission credit income and speculation in Bitcoin.</p><p>In the first quarter, Tesla made $101 million from currency speculation. But prices in Bitcoin have fallen by about half since their April peak. Judging from the disclosure in the financial report, in the second quarter, Tesla made a book loss of US $23 million due to the plummeting price of Bitcoin.</p><p>For a long time, Tesla's carbon emission credit revenue was high and was an important source of profitability. However, selling carbon emission credits is not a long-term solution after all. Today, Tesla has lost a \"big customer\". Fiat Automobile Company (FCA), a major customer that buys carbon emission credits from Tesla, announced in January that it will merge with PSA into the Stellantis Group and introduce PSA's electric vehicle business. As a result, FCA will no longer buy credits from Tesla.</p><p>In the second quarter, Tesla's carbon emission credits decreased by 17% year-on-year to only $354 million, lower than any of the previous four quarters.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7a3c68e6e5a3f43a9892180c2f813e6\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"90\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source/Company Financial Report</p><p>How did Tesla achieve net profit growth after not relying on the carbon credit business?</p><p>Selling cars is one aspect. Tesla delivered more than 20,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in the second quarter, while Model S sales were only 1,895 vehicles. The success of the Model Y has clearly boosted Tesla's performance. Tesla's vehicle gross profit margin is also increasing, reaching 28.4%. The financial report disclosed that Tesla's supply chain costs are constantly decreasing.</p><p>Besides, Tesla's greater ambition lies in selling software.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/601211\">Guotai Junan</a>Securities research believes that Tesla's future profit model has been very determined. The price of hardware is very low, and it can basically be sold at the cost price, and more charges will be charged through the back-end software market to achieve profitability.</p><p>Today, Tesla is gradually realizing its plan to sell software. In early July, Tesla owners' long-awaited \"Full Self-Driving (FSD)\" system was officially opened to the public. The system is called beta 9. Recently, Tesla launched a fully autonomous driving subscription package, which costs US $199 per month for new users. Previously, Tesla sold a fully autonomous driving package as a one-time full payment of US $10,000.</p><p>Well-known technology analyst Gene Munster wrote in a report that the subscription option can accelerate the adoption of FSD. This is an important step on Tesla's long-term path to improving margins and will strengthen the company's operating model.</p><p><b>The factory has not started operations for a long time, and new products have to be delayed?</b></p><p>The performance in the first half of the year was impressive, but Tesla cannot breathe a sigh of relief.</p><p>To achieve the goal of 50% sales growth this year, Tesla must accelerate its global layout and production.</p><p>In the second quarter, through a conference call, Tesla delivered several messages. First, the Shanghai Gigafactory completed the company's main automobile export<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HUBG\">hub</a>Transformation. The Shanghai factory is supplying Tesla's global market.</p><p>The next question is, when will Tesla's two major factories in Berlin and Texas start production?</p><p>The Berlin Gigafactory in Germany is Tesla's fourth Gigafactory. According to the plan, after the Berlin Gigafactory in Germany is officially put into production, it will be used to produce batteries, power systems and complete vehicles (starting from the production of Model Y). The first phase of the factory will focus on the production of Model Y, with a goal of 10,000 vehicles per week. In addition, 4680 batteries may be the first to be mass-produced in Berlin, Germany. Musk has said that he plans to increase the annual production capacity of the battery production plant in Berlin to 100GWh, which may be expanded to 200 to 250GWh. 100GWh is already more than twice the output of Tesla's Nevada plant, the world's largest battery factory.</p><p>Tesla initially expected the Berlin plant to start production in July 2021. However, the Berlin factory failed to pass the review for a long time. Various plans such as Model Y and 4680 power batteries had to be put on hold.</p><p>In the conference call, Musk responded rather vaguely that the Berlin factory will put Model Y into production later this year. As for when it will be late, Musk did not disclose it. The Texas factory here in the United States is developing rapidly. According to Musk's words: \"A year ago there was nothing, a year later there was a big, almost complete factory.\" The conference call revealed that the factory in Texas has begun partial commissioning, also to produce the Model Y later this year.</p><p>What the market is more concerned about is, where has the 4680 battery come? As the name implies, the so-called 4680 battery is a cylindrical battery with a single cell diameter of 46mm and a height of 80mm.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/32ac77fb22ba25c0efa274ba314ca73a\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"329\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PC\">Panasonic</a>Akira Nagasaki, head of battery business strategy for electric vehicles, pointed out in an interview that new batteries like the 4680 battery are \"the key to enabling cheaper electric vehicles to be promoted on a large scale.\" Cheaper but more efficient batteries are crucial for a fast-growing new energy vehicle company.</p><p>Previously, Musk canceled the Model S Plaid + model with the longest cruising range and delayed the launch of the 4680 battery because the model uses the 4680 battery, which caused market concerns.</p><p>This time, Tesla delivered good news during the conference call. Tesla said \"significant progress has been made\" in the development of the 4680 battery, but \"we still have a lot of work to do before we can achieve mass production\", especially in improving the manufacturing process of the battery. And, Musk pointed out that Tesla is working with its existing suppliers to produce 4680 batteries for its vehicles. The 4680 batteries have successfully crash tested the new design of its vehicles, and these batteries will be installed into the structural frame.</p><p>In addition to factories and batteries, mass production of Tesla's electric pickup truck Cybertruck is still far away. Tesla said it will not increase Cybertruck production in Texas until it starts production of Model Y at its factory in Texas. The Semi-trailer Semi, which Tesla previously promised to launch this year, was once again postponed to mass production and became 2022.</p><p>Whether the factory can start operation smoothly, whether the battery can be successfully developed and mass-produced, and whether the next explosive model can be launched have become three crucial problems that Tesla will face next.</p>","source":"lsy1598506047654","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tesla doesn't cry: a small loss in currency speculation, a big profit from selling cars</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nTesla doesn't cry: a small loss in currency speculation, a big profit from selling cars\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">深燃</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-07-27 11:56</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Tesla ushered in its second quarter 2021 earnings report.</p><p>Data show that Tesla's revenue in the second quarter was US $11.958 billion, an increase of 98% from US $6.036 billion in the same period last year; Net income was $1.142 billion.</p><p>Net income This figure is staggeringly high.

As a result, FCA will no longer buy credits from Tesla.</p><p>In the second quarter, Tesla's carbon emission credits decreased by 17% year-on-year to only $354 million, lower than any of the previous four quarters.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7a3c68e6e5a3f43a9892180c2f813e6\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"90\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source/Company Financial Report</p><p>How did Tesla achieve net profit growth after not relying on the carbon credit business?</p><p>Selling cars is one aspect. Tesla delivered more than 20,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in the second quarter, while Model S sales were only 1,895 vehicles. The success of the Model Y has clearly boosted Tesla's performance. Tesla's vehicle gross profit margin is also increasing, reaching 28.4%. The financial report disclosed that Tesla's supply chain costs are constantly decreasing.</p><p>Besides, Tesla's greater ambition lies in selling software.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/601211\">Guotai Junan</a>Securities research believes that Tesla's future profit model has been very determined. The price of hardware is very low, and it can basically be sold at the cost price, and more charges will be charged through the back-end software market to achieve profitability.</p><p>Today, Tesla is gradually realizing its plan to sell software. In early July, Tesla owners' long-awaited \"Full Self-Driving (FSD)\" system was officially opened to the public. The system is called beta 9. Recently, Tesla launched a fully autonomous driving subscription package, which costs US $199 per month for new users. Previously, Tesla sold a fully autonomous driving package as a one-time full payment of US $10,000.</p><p>Well-known technology analyst Gene Munster wrote in a report that the subscription option can accelerate the adoption of FSD. This is an important step on Tesla's long-term path to improving margins and will strengthen the company's operating model.</p><p><b>The factory has not started operations for a long time, and new products have to be delayed?</b></p><p>The performance in the first half of the year was impressive, but Tesla cannot breathe a sigh of relief.</p><p>To achieve the goal of 50% sales growth this year, Tesla must accelerate its global layout and production.</p><p>In the second quarter, through a conference call, Tesla delivered several messages. First, the Shanghai Gigafactory completed the company's main automobile export<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HUBG\">hub</a>Transformation. The Shanghai factory is supplying Tesla's global market.</p><p>The next question is, when will Tesla's two major factories in Berlin and Texas start production?</p><p>The Berlin Gigafactory in Germany is Tesla's fourth Gigafactory. According to the plan, after the Berlin Gigafactory in Germany is officially put into production, it will be used to produce batteries, power systems and complete vehicles (starting from the production of Model Y). The first phase of the factory will focus on the production of Model Y, with a goal of 10,000 vehicles per week. In addition, 4680 batteries may be the first to be mass-produced in Berlin, Germany. Musk has said that he plans to increase the annual production capacity of the battery production plant in Berlin to 100GWh, which may be expanded to 200 to 250GWh. 100GWh is already more than twice the output of Tesla's Nevada plant, the world's largest battery factory.</p><p>Tesla initially expected the Berlin plant to start production in July 2021. However, the Berlin factory failed to pass the review for a long time. Various plans such as Model Y and 4680 power batteries had to be put on hold.</p><p>In the conference call, Musk responded rather vaguely that the Berlin factory will put Model Y into production later this year. As for when it will be late, Musk did not disclose it. The Texas factory here in the United States is developing rapidly. According to Musk's words: \"A year ago there was nothing, a year later there was a big, almost complete factory.\" The conference call revealed that the factory in Texas has begun partial commissioning, also to produce the Model Y later this year.</p><p>What the market is more concerned about is, where has the 4680 battery come? As the name implies, the so-called 4680 battery is a cylindrical battery with a single cell diameter of 46mm and a height of 80mm.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/32ac77fb22ba25c0efa274ba314ca73a\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"329\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PC\">Panasonic</a>Akira Nagasaki, head of battery business strategy for electric vehicles, pointed out in an interview that new batteries like the 4680 battery are \"the key to enabling cheaper electric vehicles to be promoted on a large scale.\" Cheaper but more efficient batteries are crucial for a fast-growing new energy vehicle company.</p><p>Previously, Musk canceled the Model S Plaid + model with the longest cruising range and delayed the launch of the 4680 battery because the model uses the 4680 battery, which caused market concerns.</p><p>This time, Tesla delivered good news during the conference call. Tesla said \"significant progress has been made\" in the development of the 4680 battery, but \"we still have a lot of work to do before we can achieve mass production\", especially in improving the manufacturing process of the battery. And, Musk pointed out that Tesla is working with its existing suppliers to produce 4680 batteries for its vehicles. The 4680 batteries have successfully crash tested the new design of its vehicles, and these batteries will be installed into the structural frame.</p><p>In addition to factories and batteries, mass production of Tesla's electric pickup truck Cybertruck is still far away. Tesla said it will not increase Cybertruck production in Texas until it starts production of Model Y at its factory in Texas. The Semi-trailer Semi, which Tesla previously promised to launch this year, was once again postponed to mass production and became 2022.</p><p>Whether the factory can start operation smoothly, whether the battery can be successfully developed and mass-produced, and whether the next explosive model can be launched have become three crucial problems that Tesla will face next.</p>\n<div

倍以上。值得注意的是，这一季度，特斯拉碳积分收入仅为3.54亿美元，即使不计算这笔收入，特斯拉靠卖车和卖能源产品依旧实现了盈利。\n这样的增长，主要得益于特斯拉飙升的汽车产量和交付量。公司第二季度生产了20.6万辆电动汽车，同比增长151%；共交付了20.1万辆汽车，同比增长121%，其中Model 3和Model Y总计占了19.9万辆，同比增长148%。\n但特斯拉依旧危机四伏。CEO马斯克此前承诺要在今年实现的计划，比如4680电池的量产、建造新工厂、推出Cybertruck新车型等等，目前都没能实现。新项目已经落后于计划，而在中国区，特斯拉深陷负面舆论的泥沼中难以脱身。\n财报发布后，特斯拉股价在盘后交易中仅上涨0.99%。\n不过马斯克依旧我行我素不按常理出牌，并且对公司自信满满。马斯克在特斯拉二季度财报电话会议上表示，今后他可能不再出席季度盈利电话会议，“除非有非常重要的事情需要我说。”\n\n 要点概览1、二季度，特斯拉中国区的销量环比下滑，刹车失灵等安全事故对特斯拉的负面影响开始逐渐显现。2、二季度对于特斯拉具有里程碑式的意义，特斯拉第一次靠着卖车和卖能源产品真正实现了盈利。3、特斯拉二季度炒比特币亏损2300万美元。4、特斯拉的得克萨斯州工厂以及柏林工厂有望今年开工，但具体什么时候开工，马斯克自己也没能说清。\n\n全球销量大涨，但中国销量下降\n2021年第二季度，特斯拉交付量再创新高——20.12万辆。这也是特斯拉首次在一个季度内交付超过20万辆汽车。\n加上一季度交付的18.48万辆，上半年，特斯拉电动车的交付总量达到38.6万辆，这是一个非常好的成绩，已完成年交付75万辆目标的一半。\n但就中国区来看，情况不容乐观。特斯拉的财报中通常只披露全球数据。根据乘联会数据，特斯拉6月的零售销量为28138辆，这一销量对比5月份的21936辆有所增长。但是依旧没能回到3月份的水平。\n特斯拉今年3月交付35478辆，创历史纪录。但4月份发生了“刹车失灵”维权事件，自此之后，特斯拉在中国区的销量就开始走下坡路，尤其是4月份，销量暴跌了67%，当月只交付了11671辆。也是因为近3个月的销量下滑，特斯拉2021年第二季度在中国区的零售销量为6.17万，比一季度下降了10.87%。\n其他电动车品牌的销量则正在飞速赶超，比如比亚迪6月份交付了40317辆新能源车，上汽通用五菱6月份交付31285辆。国内造车新势力蔚来6月份单月交付量首次超过8000台（8083台），同比增长116.1%。这些原先特斯拉不屑一顾的小弟，如今已经崛起甚至开始抢夺特斯拉的地盘。\n资料来源/公司官网、乘联会\n安全事故的负面舆论，的确对特斯拉二季度的中国市场带来了影响。\n投资人以及分析师都在观望特斯拉能否处理好在中国市场的舆论危机。“对特斯拉来说，中国的增长故事是最重要的。”韦德布什（Wedbush Securities）的证券分析师就曾指出：“这是特斯拉的主要市场，我们相信他们明年40%的销售额将来自那里。我认为这是股价上涨或下跌的关键。”\n为了留在中国，特斯拉正在“补课”。比如，6月26日，特斯拉计划召回28.5万辆进口Model 3及国产Model 3、Model Y，并且破天荒地对此次召回事件深表歉意。\n炒比特币亏了2300万美元\n尽管特斯拉已经连续几个季度都实现了正向盈利，但这其中水分不少。比如，2021年一季度，特斯拉4.38亿美元的净利润，有5.18亿美元的碳排放积分收入和炒比特币赚的1.01亿美元做支撑。\n资料来源/公司财报\n二季度，特斯拉11.42亿美元的净利润超出市场预期，这也是它首个季度净利润超过10亿美元。\n谈到特斯拉的财务状况，逃不开的关键词就是碳排放积分收入以及炒比特币。\n一季度，特斯拉靠炒币赚了1.01亿美元。但比特币的价格自4月份的峰值以来已经下跌了大约一半。从财报中的披露来看，二季度，特斯拉因为比特币价格暴跌，账面计提了2300万美元的亏损。\n很长一段时间以来，特斯拉的碳排放积分收入都很高，是盈利的重要来源。但是，卖碳排放积分终究不是长久之计。如今，特斯拉已经失去了一位“大客户”。向特斯拉买碳排放积分的大客户菲亚特汽车公司（FCA），已经在1月宣布和PSA合并为Stellantis集团，引入PSA的电动车业务，由此FCA不再向特斯拉购买积分。\n二季度，特斯拉的碳排放积分同比减少了17%，仅为3.54亿美元，比前四个季度中的任何一个季度都低。\n来源/公司财报\n不依靠碳积分这门生意后，特斯拉如何实现了净利润的增长？\n卖车是一方面。特斯拉在二季度交付了超过两万辆Model 3和Model Y，Model S的销量仅为1895辆。Model Y的大获成功显然提振了特斯拉的业绩。而特斯拉的整车毛利率也在不断提高，已经达到了28.4%。财报披露，特斯拉的供应链成本正在不断降低。\n除此之外，特斯拉更大的野心在于卖软件。国泰君安证券研究认为，特斯拉未来的盈利模式已经非常确定，把硬件价格做得很低，基本上能以成本价卖，更多通过后端软件市场来收费，实现盈利。\n如今，特斯拉正在逐渐实现它的卖软件计划。7月初，特斯拉车主期待已久的“完全自动驾驶（Full Self-Driving，以下简称FSD）”系统正式对外开放，该系统被称为beta 9。最近，特斯拉又推出了全自动驾驶订阅包，新用户为每月199美元，此前，特斯拉以10000美元一次性完全支付的方式销售完全自动驾驶套餐。\n知名科技分析师吉恩-蒙斯特（Gene Munster）在一份报告中写道，订阅选项可以加速FSD的采用。这是特斯拉提高利润率的长期道路上的重要一步，将加强该公司的运营模式。\n工厂迟迟不开工，新产品又要跳票？\n上半年的业绩亮眼，但特斯拉不能松口气。\n要实现今年销量增长率50%的目标，特斯拉必须加快全球化的布局以及生产。\n在二季度，通过电话会议，特斯拉传递了这么几个信息，首先是，上海超级工厂完成了作为公司主要汽车出口枢纽的转型。上海工厂正在为特斯拉的全球市场供货。\n接下来的问题就是，特斯拉的柏林和得克萨斯两大工厂什么时候开工生产？\n德国柏林超级工厂是特斯拉的第四座超级工厂。按照计划，德国柏林超级工厂正式投产后，将用于生产电池、动力系统和整车(从生产Model Y开始)。该工厂第一阶段的重点是生产Model Y，目标是每周生产10000辆。此外，4680电池或将率先在德国柏林量产。马斯克曾表示，计划让柏林的电池生产厂年产能达到100GWh，可能扩大到200到250GWh。100GWh已经是当前全球最大电池工厂特斯拉内华达厂产量的两倍多。\n特斯拉最初预计柏林工厂将于2021年7月投产。但是，柏林工厂迟迟审核没有通过。Model Y、4680动力电池等等种种计划不得不搁置。\n在电话会议中，马斯克颇为模糊地回应称，柏林工厂将会在今年晚一些投入生产Model Y。至于具体晚到什么时候，马斯克没再透露。美国这边的得克萨斯工厂倒是发展得比较迅猛。按照马斯克的话说：“一年前什么都没有，一年后有一个几乎完整的大工厂。”电话会议透露，得克萨斯州的工厂已经开始部分调试，也是今年晚些时候生产Model Y。\n市场更为关心的是，4680电池进行到哪一步了？所谓的4680电池顾名思义就是单体电芯直径为46mm、高度为80mm的圆柱形电池。\n\n松下电动汽车电池业务策略主管长崎彰明在一次采访中指出，像4680型电池这种新型电池是“让更廉价电动汽车能够大规模推广的关键所在”。更廉价但效能更高的电池，对于一家高速增长的新能源车企来说至关重要。\n此前，马斯克取消了续航里程最长的Model S Plaid+车型，并推迟了4680电池上市的时间，因为该款车型使用4680电池，因此引发了市场担忧。\n这一次，特斯拉在电话会议中传递出了好消息。特斯拉表示4680电池的开发“已经取得了重大进展”，但“在我们实现批量生产之前，我们还有很多工作要做”，特别是在改进电池的制造工艺方面。并且，马斯克指出，特斯拉正在与其现有供应商合作为其车辆生产4680电池，4680电池已经成功地对其车辆的新设计进行了碰撞测试，这些电池将被安装到结构框架中。\n在工厂、电池之外，特斯拉的电动皮卡Cybertruck，量产依旧遥遥无期。特斯拉表示，在位于得克萨斯州的工厂开始生产 Model Y 之后，特斯拉才会在得克萨斯州增加Cybertruck的生产。而特斯拉之前承诺于今年推出的半挂Semi，再次被推后了量产时间，变成了2022年。\n工厂能否顺利开工、电池能否顺利研发量产、能否推出下一个爆款车型，这成为了特斯拉接下来要面临的三个至关重要的难题。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"TSLA":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2045,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":809864821,"gmtCreate":1627358881663,"gmtModify":1703488338549,"author":{"id":"4089711340680990","authorId":"4089711340680990","name":"JLTEE91","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4089711340680990","idStr":"4089711340680990"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Up","listText":"Up","text":"Up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809864821","repostId":"2154993281","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2154993281","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627358219,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2154993281?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-27

ushered in its second quarter 2021 earnings report.</p><p>Data show that Tesla's revenue in the second quarter was US $11.958 billion, an increase of 98% from US $6.036 billion in the same period last year; Net income was $1.142 billion.</p><p>Net income This figure is staggeringly high. It is more than double the net income of $438 million in the first quarter and more than 10 times the net income in the same period last year. It is worth noting that in this quarter, Tesla's carbon credit revenue was only US $354 million. Even without counting this revenue, Tesla still achieved profitability by selling cars and energy products.</p><p>Such growth is mainly due to Tesla's soaring car production and deliveries. The company produced 206,000 electric vehicles in the second quarter, a year-on-year increase of 151%; A total of 201,000 vehicles were delivered, a year-on-year increase of 121%, of which Model 3 and Model Y accounted for 199,000 vehicles in total, a year-on-year increase of 148%.</p><p>But Tesla is still in danger. The plans CEO Musk previously promised to realize this year, such as the mass production of 4680 batteries, the construction of new factories, the launch of new Cybertruck models, etc., have not been realized so far. The new project is behind schedule, and in China, Tesla is mired in the mire of negative public opinion and it is difficult to escape.</p><p>Following the earnings release, Tesla shares rose just 0.99% in after-hours trading.</p><p>However, Musk still goes his own way and does not play cards according to common sense, and is full of confidence in the company. Musk said on Tesla's second-quarter earnings call that he may no longer attend quarterly earnings calls in the future, \"unless there is something very important that I need to say.\"</p><p>Overview of key points 1. In the second quarter, Tesla's sales in China declined month-on-month, and the negative impact of safety accidents such as brake failure on Tesla began to gradually appear. 2. The second quarter is a milestone for Tesla. For the first time, Tesla has truly achieved profitability by selling cars and energy products. 3. Tesla lost US $23 million in speculating on Bitcoin in the second quarter. 4. Tesla's Texas factory and Berlin factory are expected to start construction this year, but Musk himself has not been able to say when they will start construction.<b>Global sales surge, but China sales fall</b></p><p>In the second quarter of 2021, Tesla delivered a new high-201,200 vehicles. This is also the first time Tesla has delivered more than 200,000 vehicles in a quarter.</p><p>Including the 184,800 vehicles delivered in the first quarter, in the first half of the year, Tesla's total delivery of electric vehicles reached 386,000 vehicles, which is a very good result, and half of the annual delivery target of 750,000 vehicles has been completed.</p><p>But as far as China is concerned, the situation is not optimistic. Tesla usually only discloses global data in its earnings report. According to data from the Passenger Car Association, Tesla's retail sales in June were 28,138 vehicles, an increase from 21,936 vehicles in May. But it still failed to return to the level of March.</p><p>Tesla delivered 35,478 vehicles in March this year, a record. However, a \"brake failure\" rights protection incident occurred in April. Since then, Tesla's sales in China have begun to decline, especially in April, when sales plummeted by 67%, and only 11,671 vehicles were delivered that month. Also because of the decline in sales in the past three months, Tesla's retail sales in China in the second quarter of 2021 were 61,700, a decrease of 10.87% from the first quarter.</p><p>The sales of other electric vehicle brands are rapidly catching up, such as<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/002594\">BYD</a>40,317 new energy vehicles were delivered in June, and SAIC-GM-Wuling delivered 31,285 vehicles in June. New domestic car-making forces<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">Nio</a>In June, the monthly delivery volume exceeded 8,000 units (8,083 units) for the first time, a year-on-year increase of 116.1%. These younger brothers who were originally dismissed by Tesla have now risen and even begun to grab Tesla's territory.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2392d6ddced169db7879993defdf1a4b\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"325\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Data source/company official website, Passenger Car Association</p><p>The negative public opinion on safety accidents did have an impact on Tesla's Chinese market in the second quarter.</p><p>Investors and analysts are waiting to see if Tesla can handle the public opinion crisis in the Chinese market. \"For Tesla, the growth story in China is the most important.\" Securities analysts at Wedbush Securities once pointed out: \"This is Tesla's main market, and we believe 40% of their sales next year will come from there. I think this is the key to the stock price rising or falling.\"</p><p>In order to stay in China, Tesla is \"making up lessons\". For example, on June 26, Tesla planned to recall 285,000 imported Model 3 and domestically produced Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, and apologized for this recall for the first time.</p><p><b>Lost $23 million in speculation on Bitcoin</b></p><p>Although Tesla has achieved positive profitability for several consecutive quarters, there is a lot of water in it. For example, in the first quarter of 2021, Tesla's net profit of US $438 million was supported by US $518 million in carbon emission credit revenue and US $101 million earned by speculating on Bitcoin.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f8a8e0e5456bb2987b851e8bc7c285b\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"330\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source/Company Earnings</p><p>In the second quarter, Tesla's net profit of US $1.142 billion exceeded market expectations. This was also its first quarterly net profit exceeded US $1 billion.</p><p>When it comes to Tesla's financial situation, the key words that cannot be escaped are carbon emission credit income and speculation in Bitcoin.</p><p>In the first quarter, Tesla made $101 million from currency speculation. But prices in Bitcoin have fallen by about half since their April peak. Judging from the disclosure in the financial report, in the second quarter, Tesla made a book loss of US $23 million due to the plummeting price of Bitcoin.</p><p>For a long time, Tesla's carbon emission credit revenue was high and was an important source of profitability. However, selling carbon emission credits is not a long-term solution after all. Today, Tesla has lost a \"big customer\". Fiat Automobile Company (FCA), a major customer that buys carbon emission credits from Tesla, announced in January that it will merge with PSA into the Stellantis Group and introduce PSA's electric vehicle business. As a result, FCA will no longer buy credits from Tesla.</p><p>In the second quarter, Tesla's carbon emission credits decreased by 17% year-on-year to only $354 million, lower than any of the previous four quarters.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7a3c68e6e5a3f43a9892180c2f813e6\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"90\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source/Company Financial Report</p><p>How did Tesla achieve net profit growth after not relying on the carbon credit business?</p><p>Selling cars is one aspect.

Tesla said \"significant progress has been made\" in the development of the 4680 battery, but \"we still have a lot of work to do before we can achieve mass production\", especially in improving the manufacturing process of the battery. And, Musk pointed out that Tesla is working with its existing suppliers to produce 4680 batteries for its vehicles. The 4680 batteries have successfully crash tested the new design of its vehicles, and these batteries will be installed into the structural frame.</p><p>In addition to factories and batteries, mass production of Tesla's electric pickup truck Cybertruck is still far away.

It is more than double the net income of $438 million in the first quarter and more than 10 times the net income in the same period last year. It is worth noting that in this quarter, Tesla's carbon credit revenue was only US $354 million. Even without counting this revenue, Tesla still achieved profitability by selling cars and energy products.</p><p>Such growth is mainly due to Tesla's soaring car production and deliveries. The company produced 206,000 electric vehicles in the second quarter, a year-on-year increase of 151%; A total of 201,000 vehicles were delivered, a year-on-year increase of 121%, of which Model 3 and Model Y accounted for 199,000 vehicles in total, a year-on-year increase of 148%.</p><p>But Tesla is still in danger. The plans CEO Musk previously promised to realize this year, such as the mass production of 4680 batteries, the construction of new factories, the launch of new Cybertruck models, etc., have not been realized so far. The new project is behind schedule, and in China, Tesla is mired in the mire of negative public opinion and it is difficult to escape.</p><p>Following the earnings release, Tesla shares rose just 0.99% in after-hours trading.</p><p>However, Musk still goes his own way and does not play cards according to common sense, and is full of confidence in the company. Musk said on Tesla's second-quarter earnings call that he may no longer attend quarterly earnings calls in the future, \"unless there is something very important that I need to say.\"</p><p>Overview of key points 1. In the second quarter, Tesla's sales in China declined month-on-month, and the negative impact of safety accidents such as brake failure on Tesla began to gradually appear. 2. The second quarter is a milestone for Tesla. For the first time, Tesla has truly achieved profitability by selling cars and energy products. 3. Tesla lost US $23 million in speculating on Bitcoin in the second quarter. 4. Tesla's Texas factory and Berlin factory are expected to start construction this year, but Musk himself has not been able to say when they will start construction.<b>Global sales surge, but China sales fall</b></p><p>In the second quarter of 2021, Tesla delivered a new high-201,200 vehicles. This is also the first time Tesla has delivered more than 200,000 vehicles in a quarter.</p><p>Including the 184,800 vehicles delivered in the first quarter, in the first half of the year, Tesla's total delivery of electric vehicles reached 386,000 vehicles, which is a very good result, and half of the annual delivery target of 750,000 vehicles has been completed.</p><p>But as far as China is concerned, the situation is not optimistic. Tesla usually only discloses global data in its earnings report. According to data from the Passenger Car Association, Tesla's retail sales in June were 28,138 vehicles, an increase from 21,936 vehicles in May. But it still failed to return to the level of March.</p><p>Tesla delivered 35,478 vehicles in March this year, a record. However, a \"brake failure\" rights protection incident occurred in April. Since then, Tesla's sales in China have begun to decline, especially in April, when sales plummeted by 67%, and only 11,671 vehicles were delivered that month. Also because of the decline in sales in the past three months, Tesla's retail sales in China in the second quarter of 2021 were 61,700, a decrease of 10.87% from the first quarter.</p><p>The sales of other electric vehicle brands are rapidly catching up, such as<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/002594\">BYD</a>40,317 new energy vehicles were delivered in June, and SAIC-GM-Wuling delivered 31,285 vehicles in June. New domestic car-making forces<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">Nio</a>In June, the monthly delivery volume exceeded 8,000 units (8,083 units) for the first time, a year-on-year increase of 116.1%. These younger brothers who were originally dismissed by Tesla have now risen and even begun to grab Tesla's territory.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2392d6ddced169db7879993defdf1a4b\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"325\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Data source/company official website, Passenger Car Association</p><p>The negative public opinion on safety accidents did have an impact on Tesla's Chinese market in the second quarter.</p><p>Investors and analysts are waiting to see if Tesla can handle the public opinion crisis in the Chinese market. \"For Tesla, the growth story in China is the most important.\" Securities analysts at Wedbush Securities once pointed out: \"This is Tesla's main market, and we believe 40% of their sales next year will come from there. I think this is the key to the stock price rising or falling.\"</p><p>In order to stay in China, Tesla is \"making up lessons\". For example, on June 26, Tesla planned to recall 285,000 imported Model 3 and domestically produced Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, and apologized for this recall for the first time.</p><p><b>Lost $23 million in speculation on Bitcoin</b></p><p>Although Tesla has achieved positive profitability for several consecutive quarters, there is a lot of water in it. For example, in the first quarter of 2021, Tesla's net profit of US $438 million was supported by US $518 million in carbon emission credit revenue and US $101 million earned by speculating on Bitcoin.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f8a8e0e5456bb2987b851e8bc7c285b\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"330\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source/Company Earnings</p><p>In the second quarter, Tesla's net profit of US $1.142 billion exceeded market expectations. This was also its first quarterly net profit exceeded US $1 billion.</p><p>When it comes to Tesla's financial situation, the key words that cannot be escaped are carbon emission credit income and speculation in Bitcoin.</p><p>In the first quarter, Tesla made $101 million from currency speculation. But prices in Bitcoin have fallen by about half since their April peak. Judging from the disclosure in the financial report, in the second quarter, Tesla made a book loss of US $23 million due to the plummeting price of Bitcoin.</p><p>For a long time, Tesla's carbon emission credit revenue was high and was an important source of profitability. However, selling carbon emission credits is not a long-term solution after all. Today, Tesla has lost a \"big customer\". Fiat Automobile Company (FCA), a major customer that buys carbon emission credits from Tesla, announced in January that it will merge with PSA into the Stellantis Group and introduce PSA's electric vehicle business. As a result, FCA will no longer buy credits from Tesla.</p><p>In the second quarter, Tesla's carbon emission credits decreased by 17% year-on-year to only $354 million, lower than any of the previous four quarters.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7a3c68e6e5a3f43a9892180c2f813e6\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"90\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source/Company Financial Report</p><p>How did Tesla achieve net profit growth after not relying on the carbon credit business?</p><p>Selling cars is one aspect. Tesla delivered more than 20,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in the second quarter, while Model S sales were only 1,895 vehicles. The success of the Model Y has clearly boosted Tesla's performance. Tesla's vehicle gross profit margin is also increasing, reaching 28.4%. The financial report disclosed that Tesla's supply chain costs are constantly decreasing.</p><p>Besides, Tesla's greater ambition lies in selling software.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/601211\">Guotai Junan</a>Securities research believes that Tesla's future profit model has been very determined. The price of hardware is very low, and it can basically be sold at the cost price, and more charges will be charged through the back-end software market to achieve profitability.</p><p>Today, Tesla is gradually realizing its plan to sell software. In early July, Tesla owners' long-awaited \"Full Self-Driving (FSD)\" system was officially opened to the public. The system is called beta 9. Recently, Tesla launched a fully autonomous driving subscription package, which costs US $199 per month for new users. Previously, Tesla sold a fully autonomous driving package as a one-time full payment of US $10,000.</p><p>Well-known technology analyst Gene Munster wrote in a report that the subscription option can accelerate the adoption of FSD. This is an important step on Tesla's long-term path to improving margins and will strengthen the company's operating model.</p><p><b>The factory has not started operations for a long time, and new products have to be delayed?</b></p><p>The performance in the first half of the year was impressive, but Tesla cannot breathe a sigh of relief.</p><p>To achieve the goal of 50% sales growth this year, Tesla must accelerate its global layout and production.</p><p>In the second quarter, through a conference call, Tesla delivered several messages. First, the Shanghai Gigafactory completed the company's main automobile export<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HUBG\">hub</a>Transformation. The Shanghai factory is supplying Tesla's global market.</p><p>The next question is, when will Tesla's two major factories in Berlin and Texas start production?</p><p>The Berlin Gigafactory in Germany is Tesla's fourth Gigafactory. According to the plan, after the Berlin Gigafactory in Germany is officially put into production, it will be used to produce batteries, power systems and complete vehicles (starting from the production of Model Y). The first phase of the factory will focus on the production of Model Y, with a goal of 10,000 vehicles per week. In addition, 4680 batteries may be the first to be mass-produced in Berlin, Germany. Musk has said that he plans to increase the annual production capacity of the battery production plant in Berlin to 100GWh, which may be expanded to 200 to 250GWh. 100GWh is already more than twice the output of Tesla's Nevada plant, the world's largest battery factory.</p><p>Tesla initially expected the Berlin plant to start production in July 2021. However, the Berlin factory failed to pass the review for a long time. Various plans such as Model Y and 4680 power batteries had to be put on hold.</p><p>In the conference call, Musk responded rather vaguely that the Berlin factory will put Model Y into production later this year. As for when it will be late, Musk did not disclose it. The Texas factory here in the United States is developing rapidly. According to Musk's words: \"A year ago there was nothing, a year later there was a big, almost complete factory.\" The conference call revealed that the factory in Texas has begun partial commissioning, also to produce the Model Y later this year.</p><p>What the market is more concerned about is, where has the 4680 battery come?
