Well, with the earnings call coming up you're advising people to loose money. Tesla is a growth company with no growth, actually dramatically decreasing sales from realistically just two models that are over 90% of all sales.

Their sales plunged in the whole world, about 20-25% in their core market US and China has economic problems on top.

No alternative revenue increase to justify the totally overhyped multiplier and once again adjusted EPS is expected to come down (maybe even as hard as sales?).

So please people, don't buy right now. If you believe in the long term and want to buy the did, wait after the earnings call plus a couple of days.

It will be a blood bath, don't throw your hard earned money out of the window.

Consider $NVDA or $MSFT as some cheap AI stock right now (if you want to invest now).

Tesla&#39;s previous decline primarily occurred because Tesla missed its Q4 earnings estimates. Revenues and EPS were lower than expected due to Tesla temporarily lowering vehicle prices and a likely transitory decrease in demand due to a relatively slow economy and high-interest rates.<h2 id=\"id_2146253078\">Tesla&#39;s Stock - Now Dropping Again</h2>Tesla&#39;s stock remains under pressure, dropping again recently due to a worse-than-anticipated production and delivery report. Of course, it&#39;s not just Tesla, as the broad electric vehicle, or EV, industry is going through a slowdown phase because of temporary market oversaturation, a relatively slow economy, high-interest rates, and other transitory factors.However, despite the temporary setbacks in the EV market, market participants should keep a long-term perspective regarding Tesla. Tesla remains the market leader spearheading the EV industry. We should not expect constant exponential growth. There will be troughs and temporary challenges.Nonetheless, you can&#39;t argue with the future. EVs are cleaner and more energy-efficient than their internal combustion engine, or ICE, counterparts. Moreover, many countries plan to phase out ICE cars in the future, enabling EVs to continue gaining market share in the global car market.Therefore, Tesla&#39;s temporary slowdown is not a significant issue, as we are still early in the EV ballgame (around the third or fourth inning here), in my view. Additionally, we have Cybertruck and Tesla Semi sales to look forward to in the coming quarters. Furthermore, Tesla&#39;s Model 2 project, &#34;Redwood,&#34; will likely be released in H2 2025.In addition to Tesla&#39;s dominant presence and massive potential in the expanding EV industry, Tesla is a global leader in AI, robotics, FSD, neural networks, and other technologies that should power its growth and profitability in the coming years.Despite the short-term turbulence, Tesla&#39;s stock is considerably undervalued relative to its long-term growth and profitability potential and should move much higher as we advance.<h3 id=\"id_2886749520\">Tesla&#39;s Golden Long-Term Buying Opportunity</h3><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/6aa2319d5b0934aaa047dca310c4b130\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"676\"/>TSLA (stockcharts.com)Tesla&#39;s stock has declined by about 47% since its 2023 high of around $300. The stock is approaching $160-145 (the critical support zone), and the downside potential is likely minimal. The crucial support zone around $150 coincides with the unfilled gap from the run-up in early 2023. We also see higher lows in the RSI, implying potential for improving technical momentum soon. While there may be a minor downside in the short term, there is likely considerable intermediate and long-term potential in Tesla&#39;s stock, and the risk/reward appears favorable here.<h3 id=\"id_1171790636\">Why Tesla&#39;s Stock Is Down</h3>Tesla delivered &#34;only&#34; about 387,000 vehicles in the first quarter. While this number is a decline of about 8% year-over-year, several elements must be considered. The decrease in sales was partially due to the early phase of the updated Model 3&#39;s production ramp, factory shutdowns due to shipping diversions from the Red Sea conflict, and an arson attack at Gigafactory Berlin. These factors contributed to the worse-than-expected delivery data.Q1 Production and Delivery Data<img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d03456c9af595f42bf13c35bdb2d05b6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"141\"/>Production and delivery data (ir.tesla.com)On the bright side, Q2 sales could increase more than anticipated due to the &#34;hangover effect&#34; from Q1. Tesla produced 433,371 vehicles in the quarter, which is only a 1.6% decline from last year. This dynamic implies that deliveries/sales would have been considerably higher without disruption events.<h3 id=\"id_2963220145\">Q1 Sales Estimates Based On Delivery Data</h3>Due to recent price cuts, Tesla&#39;s ASP for the Model 3/Y segment was around $40,000 in Q4 (based on my latest estimates). The ASP for the &#34;other models&#34; segment, primarily Model S/X (very few Cybertrucks so far), was likely around $110,000 in Q4.However, Tesla has returned to raising prices, and ASPs were likely higher in Q1 than the previous quarter. Moreover, Tesla&#39;s ASPs should continue increasing in Q2, which should be constructive for the company&#39;s top and bottom lines as it advances. I will use slightly higher ASP figures (than last quarter&#39;s) to derive Q1 revenue estimates, as Tesla is set to report earnings on April 23rd.369,783 Model 3/Y vehicles, minus 2% for lease accounting, comes to around 362,388 Model 3/Y sales. With an ASP of about $42,000, Tesla likely made around $15.2 billion from the Model 3/Y segment in Q117,027 other vehicles, minus 1% for lease accounting, equates to about 16,857 other cars sold in Q1. Using an ASP of around $118,000 suggests Tesla could have derived approximately $2 billion in revenues from the &#34;other&#34; car segment in the first quarter.<h4 id=\"id_2025841947\">Q1 2024 Sales Estimates</h4><ul style=\"\"><li>Model 3/Y segment: $15.2B</li><li>Other Model segment: $2B</li><li>Regulatory credit revenues: $600M</li><li>Automotive leasing revenues: $600M</li><li>Energy generation and storage sales: $1.6B</li><li>Services and other revenues: $2.3B</li></ul>Q1 Total Revenue Estimate: $22.3 billionTesla&#39;s gross margin was around 18.3% in 2023. However, due to recent price drops and other transitory factors, it hit a low of 17.6% in Q4 2023. Q4 was likely the rock bottom quarter relative to gross margin. Due to the rebound in pricing and other factors, Tesla could post a gross margin of about 17.9% in Q1.<ul style=\"\"><li>17.9% gross margin equates to a gross profit of roughly $4B</li><li>Estimated R&amp;D expenses: $900M</li><li>Estimated SG&amp;A costs: $1.1B</li><li>Q1 estimated operating income: $2B</li><li>Estimated tax/other: $300M</li><li>Q1 estimated net income: $1.7 billion.</li></ul>2024 Q1 EPS estimate: $0.54<h3 id=\"id_3056178427\">Here&#39;s What Consensus Estimates Say</h3><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/de26c3d3e2c3b5f66a43e7637e6c1942\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"236\"/>EPS estimates (seekingalpha.com )Q1 EPS estimates are for $0.57, slightly above my $0.54 estimate. However, if Tesla earns a few cents fewer than expected, it should not make a huge difference for the stock, especially in the long run. We should also consider the long-term perspective, and EPS should improve considerably in future quarters.Q1 Revenue Could Also Be Slightly Lower Than Expected<img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1ce587cfe5f2a2db11a873889c2908b0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"234\"/>Revenue estimates (seekingalpha.com)Given the recent delivery figures, the consensus sales estimate is around $23.3B, which seems a tad high. My estimate is around $22.3B. The lower-than-anticipated sales figure could be factored into Tesla&#39;s stock price. Moreover, we could see higher-than-anticipated sales in Q2 as some of the lost sales figures from Q1 transfer to Q2. Also, Tesla&#39;s improving margins could limit the &#34;damage,&#34; and the stock&#39;s downside could be minimal.<h2 id=\"id_1165415703\">The Bottom Line: Keep A Long-Term Perspective</h2>Market participants should keep a long-term perspective on Tesla&#39;s potential and stock. The EV slowdown is likely transitory, and demand should improve as global growth increases and the Fed drops interest rates. This dynamic should ease lending standards, unlocking more financing options for consumers. Also, higher oil prices should lead to improved EV demand.Furthermore, Tesla is far more than just a car company. Tesla is a leading energy generation and storage business with enormous potential in FSD, robotics, and AI. The current challenging phase is transitory, and Tesla&#39;s revenue and EPS growth should recover as we advance.Therefore, the recent dip is a buying opportunity, and I will increase my Tesla position if there is more downside after the company reports Q1 results on April 23rd. My optimal near-term buy-in range is around the $160-145 level, and Tesla&#39;s stock has a high probability of moving much higher as we advance.Where Tesla&#39;s price could be in future years:<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">The Year</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2024</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2025</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2026</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2027</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2028</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2029</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">2030</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Revenue Bs</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$122</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$160</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$193</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$235</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$285</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$342</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$410</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Revenue growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">25%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">31%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">21%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">22%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">21%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">20%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">20%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">EPS</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$3.75</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$7.70</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$10</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$12.8</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$16.3</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$20.3</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$25.2</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">EPS growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">-8%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">105%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">30%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">28%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">27%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">25%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">24%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Forward P/E</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">32</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">34</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">35</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">36</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">35</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">34</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">33</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Stock price</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$250</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$340</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$450</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$588</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$710</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$860</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">$980</td></tr></tbody></table>Source: The Financial Prophet.Due to the recent declines in deliveries and other transitory factors, I&#39;ve adjusted my near-term EPS and revenue estimates lower than my prior analysis regarding Tesla&#39;s projections. However, many of the issues currently plaguing Tesla are short-term challenges that should be resolved within the next 6-12 months, in my view. Despite the difficulties, Tesla&#39;s stock should be considerably higher several years from now.<h2 id=\"id_1277986686\">Risks To Tesla</h2>Tesla faces various risks, especially in the near term. We see decreased growth in EV demand for Tesla and other EV makers. Increased competition in the EV space could impact Tesla&#39;s demand, margins, and future profitability. Tesla also faces the risk of a slower-than-anticipated economy with a higher rate for longer regime. There is also the risk of the Cybertruck and other Tesla production resulting in higher-than-expected costs. Investors should consider these and other risks before establishing a position in Tesla.</body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Of course, it's not just Tesla, as the broad electric vehicle, or EV, industry is going through a slowdown phase because of temporary market oversaturation, a relatively slow economy, high-interest rates, and other transitory factors.However, despite the temporary setbacks in the EV market, market participants should keep a long-term perspective regarding Tesla. Tesla remains the market leader spearheading the EV industry. We should not expect constant exponential growth. There will be troughs and temporary challenges.Nonetheless, you can't argue with the future. EVs are cleaner and more energy-efficient than their internal combustion engine, or ICE, counterparts. Moreover, many countries plan to phase out ICE cars in the future, enabling EVs to continue gaining market share in the global car market.Therefore, Tesla's temporary slowdown is not a significant issue, as we are still early in the EV ballgame (around the third or fourth inning here), in my view. Additionally, we have Cybertruck and Tesla Semi sales to look forward to in the coming quarters. Furthermore, Tesla's Model 2 project, \"Redwood,\" will likely be released in H2 2025.In addition to Tesla's dominant presence and massive potential in the expanding EV industry, Tesla is a global leader in AI, robotics, FSD, neural networks, and other technologies that should power its growth and profitability in the coming years.Despite the short-term turbulence, Tesla's stock is considerably undervalued relative to its long-term growth and profitability potential and should move much higher as we advance.Tesla's Golden Long-Term Buying OpportunityTSLA (stockcharts.com)Tesla's stock has declined by about 47% since its 2023 high of around $300. The stock is approaching $160-145 (the critical support zone), and the downside potential is likely minimal. The crucial support zone around $150 coincides with the unfilled gap from the run-up in early 2023. We also see higher lows in the RSI, implying potential for improving technical momentum soon. While there may be a minor downside in the short term, there is likely considerable intermediate and long-term potential in Tesla's stock, and the risk/reward appears favorable here.Why Tesla's Stock Is DownTesla delivered \"only\" about 387,000 vehicles in the first quarter. While this number is a decline of about 8% year-over-year, several elements must be considered. The decrease in sales was partially due to the early phase of the updated Model 3's production ramp, factory shutdowns due to shipping diversions from the Red Sea conflict, and an arson attack at Gigafactory Berlin. These factors contributed to the worse-than-expected delivery data.Q1 Production and Delivery DataProduction and delivery data (ir.tesla.com)On the bright side, Q2 sales could increase more than anticipated due to the \"hangover effect\" from Q1. Tesla produced 433,371 vehicles in the quarter, which is only a 1.6% decline from last year. This dynamic implies that deliveries/sales would have been considerably higher without disruption events.Q1 Sales Estimates Based On Delivery DataDue to recent price cuts, Tesla's ASP for the Model 3/Y segment was around $40,000 in Q4 (based on my latest estimates). The ASP for the \"other models\" segment, primarily Model S/X (very few Cybertrucks so far), was likely around $110,000 in Q4.However, Tesla has returned to raising prices, and ASPs were likely higher in Q1 than the previous quarter. Moreover, Tesla's ASPs should continue increasing in Q2, which should be constructive for the company's top and bottom lines as it advances. I will use slightly higher ASP figures (than last quarter's) to derive Q1 revenue estimates, as Tesla is set to report earnings on April 23rd.369,783 Model 3/Y vehicles, minus 2% for lease accounting, comes to around 362,388 Model 3/Y sales. With an ASP of about $42,000, Tesla likely made around $15.2 billion from the Model 3/Y segment in Q117,027 other vehicles, minus 1% for lease accounting, equates to about 16,857 other cars sold in Q1. Using an ASP of around $118,000 suggests Tesla could have derived approximately $2 billion in revenues from the \"other\" car segment in the first quarter.Q1 2024 Sales EstimatesModel 3/Y segment: $15.2BOther Model segment: $2BRegulatory credit revenues: $600MAutomotive leasing revenues: $600MEnergy generation and storage sales: $1.6BServices and other revenues: $2.3BQ1 Total Revenue Estimate: $22.3 billionTesla's gross margin was around 18.3% in 2023. However, due to recent price drops and other transitory factors, it hit a low of 17.6% in Q4 2023. Q4 was likely the rock bottom quarter relative to gross margin. Due to the rebound in pricing and other factors, Tesla could post a gross margin of about 17.9% in Q1.17.9% gross margin equates to a gross profit of roughly $4BEstimated R&D expenses: $900MEstimated SG&A costs: $1.1BQ1 estimated operating income: $2BEstimated tax/other: $300MQ1 estimated net income: $1.7 billion.2024 Q1 EPS estimate: $0.54Here's What Consensus Estimates SayEPS estimates (seekingalpha.com )Q1 EPS estimates are for $0.57, slightly above my $0.54 estimate. However, if Tesla earns a few cents fewer than expected, it should not make a huge difference for the stock, especially in the long run. We should also consider the long-term perspective, and EPS should improve considerably in future quarters.Q1 Revenue Could Also Be Slightly Lower Than ExpectedRevenue estimates (seekingalpha.com)Given the recent delivery figures, the consensus sales estimate is around $23.3B, which seems a tad high. My estimate is around $22.3B. The lower-than-anticipated sales figure could be factored into Tesla's stock price. Moreover, we could see higher-than-anticipated sales in Q2 as some of the lost sales figures from Q1 transfer to Q2. Also, Tesla's improving margins could limit the \"damage,\" and the stock's downside could be minimal.The Bottom Line: Keep A Long-Term PerspectiveMarket participants should keep a long-term perspective on Tesla's potential and stock. The EV slowdown is likely transitory, and demand should improve as global growth increases and the Fed drops interest rates. This dynamic should ease lending standards, unlocking more financing options for consumers. Also, higher oil prices should lead to improved EV demand.Furthermore, Tesla is far more than just a car company. Tesla is a leading energy generation and storage business with enormous potential in FSD, robotics, and AI. The current challenging phase is transitory, and Tesla's revenue and EPS growth should recover as we advance.Therefore, the recent dip is a buying opportunity, and I will increase my Tesla position if there is more downside after the company reports Q1 results on April 23rd. My optimal near-term buy-in range is around the $160-145 level, and Tesla's stock has a high probability of moving much higher as we advance.Where Tesla's price could be in future years:The Year2024202520262027202820292030Revenue Bs$122$160$193$235$285$342$410Revenue growth25%31%21%22%21%20%20%EPS$3.75$7.70$10$12.8$16.3$20.3$25.2EPS growth-8%105%30%28%27%25%24%Forward P/E32343536353433Stock price$250$340$450$588$710$860$980Source: The Financial Prophet.Due to the recent declines in deliveries and other transitory factors, I've adjusted my near-term EPS and revenue estimates lower than my prior analysis regarding Tesla's projections. However, many of the issues currently plaguing Tesla are short-term challenges that should be resolved within the next 6-12 months, in my view. Despite the difficulties, Tesla's stock should be considerably higher several years from now.Risks To TeslaTesla faces various risks, especially in the near term. We see decreased growth in EV demand for Tesla and other EV makers. Increased competition in the EV space could impact Tesla's demand, margins, and future profitability. Tesla also faces the risk of a slower-than-anticipated economy with a higher rate for longer regime. There is also the risk of the Cybertruck and other Tesla production resulting in higher-than-expected costs. Investors should consider these and other risks before establishing a position in Tesla.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":520,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"upFlag":true,"length":670,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[{"id":292696809455728,"gmtCreate":1712464232812,"gmtModify":1712474667037,"authorId":9000000000000658,"author":{"id":9000000000000658,"authorId":9000000000000658,"name":"CarterSilas","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":8,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":291971157536928,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"You make some valid points about the challenges facing Tesla.","text":"You make some valid points about the challenges facing Tesla.","html":"You make some valid points about the challenges facing Tesla.","likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"subComments":[],"verified":10,"allocateAmount":0,"commentType":"valid","coins":0,"score":0},{"id":292696952856616,"gmtCreate":1712464237445,"gmtModify":1712474666374,"authorId":3527667614729340,"author":{"id":3527667614729340,"authorId":3527667614729340,"name":"DRReality","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16197465706af723e26b1e503448b079","vip":8,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":291971157536928,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"You make a fair point.","text":"You make a fair point.","html":"You make a fair point.","likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"subComments":[],"verified":10,"allocateAmount":0,"commentType":"valid","coins":0,"score":0}],"hasMoreComment":true,"orderType":2}
