      A few clues here. It's Reuters, so almost bound to be a hit piece on Tesla. See them on Bluesky? What, that safe space for lefties? Or you could find your information on X to discover that Musk has already debunked the China Sale story as fake news, saying it's never even been discussed.

      Tesla China Sale Looks Best on Paper

      BREAKINGVIEWS-Tesla China sale looks best on paperHONG KONG, July 31 -The $1.2 trln EV giant may sell its China arm to prep for a possible SpaceX merger. Tesla and global carmakers risk hitting geopolitical potholes if they stay, for more meagre rewards than before. But with no Elon Musk, robots or robotaxis, a buyer would demand a big discount.Full view will be published shortly.Follow Katrina Hamlin on Bluesky and Linkedin.CONTEXT NEWSSome Tesla executives have been told to prepare for a separation of the Chinese business ahead of a possible merger, the Wall Street Journal reported on July 31, citing sources.

      I'd also be looking at FSD take rate, since this subscription revenue is almost pure profit, and FSD adoption in various countries in Europe, Australia and NZ, and others should show decent growth this quarter.

      For those who think Tesla's recent slide below $400 means that some sort of catastrophic dip it coming and support levels have been breached, and that Rivian is coming for Model Y, I'd just offer the following counter-points: 1. $Tsla closed around $405 today, so no real evidence of support being breached; Tesla is a far stronger company now in mid-July than it was in December 2025 when it was hitting ATH at around $490; Rivian, though they produce nice cars, is still nowhere near Tesla in volume production or economies of scale, and are still losing money; Tesla, on the other hand, just had a bumper quarter with Q2 earnings due July 22nd. Unlike Q1, when the stock drifted lower on an absence of near term catalysts, Q3 sees an abundance of them. So sell at your peril!

      If there is more news about the Joint Venture for Terafab (possibly a new company to run it with Outside capital to help fund it), I’d be very bullish. SpaceX and Tesla both stand to make massive savings on chips if this works, but need partners to pull it off.

      However, S&P has a discretionary rule: the Index Committee can add an acquirer of an S&P constituent in a stock deal even if eligibility isn't fully met, to cut turnover and maintain representativeness. This might be invoked if $SPCX was to take over $TSLA, for example.

      So, another over-the-air update? If it's Reuters you can be sure that they would omit a detail like that.

      Well Q1 deliveries shouldn't really be compared to prior quarters, since the automotive industry is highly cyclical and Q1 is always the lowest quarter. It is up on 2025 Q1 however. As far as Tesla capex splurge, there are good reasons for doing this now, not least the 100% depreciation in year 1. So I'm not really overly concerned about that decision. As to revenue, we are on the cusp of Cybercab rollout, and Robotaxis hold the promise of far eclipsing automotive revenue in the relatively near future, let alone the growth of Tesla Energy, because all those new Datacentres are going to need heaps of BESS to be able to guarantee that their ravenous energy requirements are not going to negatively affect their local grid.

      TeslaBoomerMama and Pejjy had a great discussion on YouTube discussing this scenario. Bottom line was that it's better for $Tsla shareholders to hold off selling their shares to participate in the IPO. The most likely scenario is that SpaceX IPOs around June 9th and bids for $TSLA much sooner thereafter than most people are thinking, the reason being to protect $Tsla from a possible hostile takeover. Existing Tesla shareholders would likely benefit from a takeover premium of between 20-40% (if they continue to hold $Tsla stock), whereas SpaceX shareholders would face dilution on a bid for $tsla.

      Hmm. Have to be careful when looking at Tesla's China sales. Remember that Shanghai is Tesla's export hub, serving Japan, Korea, Australia, NZ and now Canada and possibly some others. It can be misleading to look at China registrations for a particular month since for some months most of Shanghai's output is shipped off to other countries.

      Tesla Stock Falls. Why It's No Longer Getting a Boost from Oil-Price Spikes

      Tesla stock fell early Monday, along with most stocks, despite rising oil prices that, at one point, had given the electric vehicle maker a boost.Shares of Elon Musk's car company were down 2.3% at $393.48 in premarket trading, while S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were both down about 1.1%.The move came as oil prices shot higher after the U.S. and Israel began military operations against Iran over the weekend. Benchmark U.S. crude prices were up 7.5% to $72.04 per barrel in early trading.In the past, Tesla stock would get a boost from spikes in oil prices, with higher gasoline prices driving buyers to check out all-electric options. That was at a time when electric-vehicle penetration of new-car sales was lower, though. Americans bought about 1.3 million cars in 2025, accounting for roughly 8% of all new car sales.Tesla stock might also be affected by weak Chinese EV sales. In February, XPeng delivered 15,256 cars, down 50% from last year. Li Auto delivered 26,421, d
