$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Bearishdeliveries rose to 405,278 in Q4, up 31% Year-over-Year (YoY) & 18% above Q3's record 343,800👌 ⚠️ But that came in well below lowered estimates of 418,000-420,000 after 🔋🚘TSLA offered big year-end incentives, especially in 🇨🇳 & 🇺🇸 to boost sales. ➡️ Q4 deliveries included 388,131 Model 3 & Model Y vehicles, with 17,147 Model S & X luxury EVs. ➡️ Figures do not include any 🔋🚘TSLA Semi deliveries. A small number was delivered to Pepsi in Dec. ➡️ Q4 production swelled to 439,701 in Q4, exceeding deliveries by more than 34,000. That's even with 🔋🚘TSLA curbing Shanghai output on 12/12 & suspending production on 24/12. ➡️ In Q3, output topped sales by just over 22,000, with deliveries also falling short that quarter. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Once again, 🔋🚘TSLA blamed an increase in vehicles "in transit at the end of the quarter.” ⚠️🔋🚘TSLA delivered a record 1.3 million vehicles in 2022, up 40% from 2021. It produced nearly 1.4 million vehicles, up 47% from the prior year🥳 Although 40% growth is 👍, TSLA’s pace of growth is slowing. Deliveries nearly doubled in 2021 & more than quadrupled in 2020 & investors are concerned. 🔋🚘TSLA ➡️ 🚩 OR 🏴☠️❓ (1) 🔋🚘TSLA new orders fell far short of Q4 deliveries & 2023 sales target ➡️ Annual order run rate in Q4 including significant discounting was only ~1M units, & the company's target is to sell close to 2M units in 2023, with no new models🚩 (2) A $55,000 price cap on most Model Y vehicles could limit 🔋🚘TSLA’s EV credit boost. (3) Over in Europe, several countries cut/ended EV subsidies, providing another headwind for 🔋🚘TSLA as backlogs there fade. (4) 🇨🇳 ended EV subsidies. 🔋🚘TSLA may need significant new price cuts in 🇨🇳, where competition continues to heat up from BYD, Nio, Li Auto, Xpeng & others. TSLA has already renewed year-end incentives for 1 Jan - 28 February. Any 👍📰 For 🔋🚘TSLA❓ ( In 2023, 🔋🚘 will benefit from new 🇺🇸 tax credits of up to $7,500, though the year-end incentives of $7,500 for the Model 3 or Model Y — with Model S & X vehicles added 30 Dec— may have tapped some of that demand. (2)🔋🚘TSLA 🇨🇳 chief Tom Zhu will shift to take over the 🇺🇸 assembly plants as well as sales operations in North America & Europe, according to Reuters. Under Zhu's leadership, TSLA Shanghai rebounded strongly from lockdowns in 2022 to bring TSLA close to its 2022🎯 of 50% production growth.
