Investor/Analyst Reactions

Wall Street took Tesla’s report of strong margins positively. Compared the legacy OEM automaker’s Tesla showed strong margins even if we remove regulatory credits from the report.

“17.1% gross margin ex-credit was a strong beat,” said Tom Narayanan, Lead Equity Analyst, Global Autos. “I do think if you take out those FSD-deffered revenue piece, you still come out with a very strong gross profit margin ex-credit,” Tom added.

“The margins were exceptional; They continue to show time and time again that they’re able to lower the cost of production and be the only one that can make money on EVs,” said George Gianarikas and analyst at Canaccord Genuity.
