People should realise that companies in a desperate need of cash usually do three things:
- drastically cut production ✅
- fire white collar workers ✅
- try to increase prices wherever possible ✅
$TSLA might be in trouble 🚨

@Tesla
, finally in the 🇺🇸 a major 🗞️📰 like the
@nytimes
covers the biggest automotive scandal in corp history, reported by
@handelsblatt
last May. Major crimes claimed include:
- GDPR violations
- accounting fraud
- unreported FSD defections
So
@elonmusk
is hiring engineers from $TSLA for his AI private venture xAi ⁉️ WTF 😳 and people still think that he is discussing a new compensation plan? Does the BoD know about this?
@GerberKawasaki
- Oct 2022: “Optimus launched”
- Apr 2023: “ $TSLA is aiming to start production of Optimus in 2023”
- Apr 2024: “ Tesla will be able to perform tasks in the 🏭 by 2024, production in 2025”
- Jul 2024: “ Tesla will implement Optimus in its 🏭 in 2025, production in 2026” 🤡🤡🤡
🧵 on the reasons why $TSLA might be preparing for a capital raise (and yes, they need cash):
- FCF in Q1 must be bad, given the huge pile up of inventories
- new 🏭 won’t be an issue, as plans are scrapped, but $NVDA GPUs are expensive
- new narrative, car sales don’t matter
From the
@tesla
Motor-Club 🇬🇧&🇮🇪 forum section, it seems a FSD former customer sued $TSLA for the failure to deliver on its autonomy promises, settling for £8k. What if this is a precedent? Why $TSLA settled? He bought the software in 2019, posted this last Saturday

@beyerch
$TSLA $TSLQ 2023 GAAP EPS Estimates are at 2.78, from 2.88 before Q3 ER. 2024 GAAP EPS Est still are at 3.80 (!!!) from 4.06 before ER. For the bulls, can someone explain to me how
@tesla
EPS can grow 33% in 2024 if:
- MY is still being discounted
- CT is still a loss center
So let’s recap:
- Elon is firing everyone
- DoJo is not $TSLA DoJo (surprise surprise) but expensive $NVDA GPUs, Datacenter not ready (‼️)
- FSD is the only thing that matters
In conclusion, another $TSLA victim is the DoJo narrative 🥲
@elonmusk
@WholeMarsBlog
What??? Ahahah Elon please, avoid be fraudulent. The automotive market is going very well in the 🇺🇸. $TSLA had a horrible quarter because the US market refused to buy your cars. BYD has NO presence yet in the 🇺🇸. $HTZ is fire selling used
@tesla
, because they hate the cars…
$TSLA 🇪🇺 2023 sales in the six daily reporting countries 🇬🇧🇳🇴🇸🇪🇩🇰🇳🇱🇪🇸 :
- Q1 39.3k
- Q2 39.6k
- Q3 35.6k
- Q4 35.4k (estimating the missing 3 days of 🇬🇧 sales, 1 day for 🇳🇱 & 🇪🇸)
So how are we supposed to believe that 2024 will grow from here without further price cuts⁉️
So nobody is worried that Musk had a conversation with its 8th most important shareholder and never mentioned the most controversial announcement of the year related to $TSLA ? Not even a word on robotaxi ? 👀
🚨 ‼️ Dear
@elonmusk
fanboys, if this is true, this is basically treason. There is not any fairy 🧚 dust to spin it.. and the 💊 addiction, and bad financial metrics of $TSLA
@tesla
should do the rest
THIS IS I N S A N E🤯😱
@SECGov
staff have never spoken with the people who filed the complaint, those people say, & have never taken them up on their offer to review about 18k files they say they have for review, including internal $TSLA 📧 , spreadsheets, screenshots, recording
$TSLA 10-Q SEC filing is out in record time. Since I remember, it was always posted 48-72h after ER. This time it is the day after. Either Elon will sell (unlikely) or the company is preparing for a massive capital raise, as stated below. Expect the news tonight AH or tomorrow..
🧵 on the reasons why $TSLA might be preparing for a capital raise (and yes, they need cash):
- FCF in Q1 must be bad, given the huge pile up of inventories
- new 🏭 won’t be an issue, as plans are scrapped, but $NVDA GPUs are expensive
- new narrative, car sales don’t matter
$TSLA 🚨 China 🇨🇳 weekly sales last week less than 2000 units ❗️despite:
- persistent inventory discounts
- super favorable financing rates
- listing price cuts at the start of 2024
- paint & insurance bonus
- plenty of supply ‼️
No surprise that Shangai reduced the output..
🧵🚨 $TSLA Q1-2024 delivery update & FSD considerations:
- 🇨🇳 is in deep trouble with declining volumes & deep negative sales margins
- 🇺🇸 & 🇪🇺 can be bad too
- FSD is now the narrative spin to avoid a complete disasters, but its financials are simply NOT ENOUGH ‼️
Should Tesla invest $5B into

(Board approval & shareholder vote are needed, so this is just to test the waters)

The extent of

's layoffs in China is much deeper than Elon Musk's stated 10%, as some departments face cuts of 30% to 40% and others up to 50%, with the sales department hit hardest, Chinese NEV information website Gasgoo reported yesterday, citing sources.
@Tesla
So the problem is real, as
@handelsblatt
leaks said. The point is: how costly is the solution provided here? Did $TSLA know and acted negligently? What about pending class actions ?
$TSLA 🇩🇪 sales for May are out, and here below the rolling sum of the sales in Europe. Houston we have a big problem 🚨 For Q2-24 we should expect 60-65k from Europe vs 86k in Q1, unless big big big inventories discounts happen again. Yearly growth anyone?
Germany reported 1,896 Tesla sales and 0.8% market share for May. 🇩🇪
• -64% vs. May last year
• Last three months -43.8% vs. December - February
• Year-to-date -41% over same period last year
• Year-to-date is 26% or 3.1/12 of last year's total
$TSLA big 🧵 on 🇨🇳 competition | why things can only get worse or very worse:
- Q1-24 sales -3% YoY despite massive price ✂️
- Q2-24❓A wave of new models is coming ➡️ Troy will be forced to stop being “moderately bullish” just because “everyone is”. Here a comparison vs BYD:
$BIDU
A source close to Baidu told China Daily that he didn't see "any new deal related to FSD functions" between the Tesla and Baidu... that it has no direct relations with its FSD function.
@FredericLambert
She also implied that Adrian Dittman is Elon. If that is the case, this would be an immense breach of security law and Elon might not be to serve as a public director ever, or go to jail and lose great part of his net worth
🚨 $TSLA layoffs in 🇳🇴 Norway ‼️ 10% workforce in what was once a big market for Tesla; now it has become another weak spot ❌
Bullish / Elon-demon-mode / $55 b package 💵/ 📦 Elon-packing-soon 🧳/ bye-bye-Elon
Tesla is to cut 10 percent of the workforce in Norway, and now all employees have been offered severance package - regardless of function.

- he’s not negating the 💊 abuse whatsoever

- in these 2.5 days he has addressed this big issues only in a limited way, instead of suing the

I wish all the bulls that follow me can see this. It’s a scam. Retweet this as much as you can so that Gary, Jamescat, etc sees it for what it is. A fraud at the expense of the ones who think that an aged idealistic dream ( $TSLA) of future can be their path to prosperity
Four months ago, Elon Musk discussing Model 2 with Sandy Munro:
"We're quite far advanced in that work"
"The revolution in manufacturing represented by that car will blow people's minds"
"Far in advance of any automotive plants on Earth"
@FredericLambert
Elon is next, quite possible he is fired soon. the fact that Drew resigned and did not mention Elon even once TELLS YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
When the stock was spiralling down at the end of 2022 this came out “ $TSLA board member J. Murdoch said in Nov. the company had recently identified a potential successor to Musk without naming the person. Murdoch did not respond to a request for comment”

Should the $TSLA BOD take immediate action against

@ElectrekCo
@FredericLambert
Could you please specify that both the wife and the best friend of the victim said that he was a regular user of FSD? So it is basically impossible that FSD was not downloaded on the car as
@elonmusk
said. Guess what, he lied again!
“Von Ohain used Full Self-Driving nearly every time he got behind the wheel, (his wife) said”
Seems clear to me Elon is lying here
Wild stuff. I don’t see how this doesn’t create problems for him / Tesla.
If I’m a former friend who listened to him talk FSD I’d go on the record
‼️in July 2022 a man in 🇸🇪 sounded the alarm about $TSLA suspensions failure through his YouTube.
@Tesla
threatened to sue him. But we know from the whistleblower (
@handelsblatt
,
@CNBC
with
@lorakolodny
) that the company knew since forever about the issue
Musk is a known liar. Do people really expect him to confirm this ? He could have said that a new M2 line is under consideration for months, with the real plan being obsolete..
🚨🚨🚨 $TSLA cash burn alert! After $7 b credit line in January, $2.5 b ABS (leasing contracts), here $1 b of ABS by autoloans. These heavy discounts are becoming cash expensive 💸 $TSLQ
$TSLA looking to raise $1.8bn from an ABS offering?
I thought they had so much cash that they could do a $5bn share buyback.
And this is on top of raising their credit facility from $2.4bn to up to $7bn in January.
The Sovereign Fund (
@NicolaiTang1
) from 🇳🇴 $2.2 trillion AuM is worried about human rights violation from $TSLA as it fights unionisation. But the fund isn’t worried about the $TSLA 🇳🇴 whistleblower who accused the company of consumer & financial frauds?
$TSLA price targets cut:
- from $185 to $165 by Jefferies, '24 EPS 1.87. Same PT as last year, when the stock's EPS estimated growth was much higher
- from $225 to $205 by Piper Sandler
‼️ Both expect vol sales in 2024 to be lower vs 2023 -> wen Cybertruck Halo effect⁉️

Don't tell Tesla
Hertz: "In the first quarter, the Company upsized its EV disposition plan by 10,000 vehicles, for a total of 30,000 EVs intended for sale in 2024"
So the cheap M2 is indeed scrapped. But the existing platform will be used to design and sell cheaper vehicles ⁉️🥲 my god.. how they spin this during the call?
Furtermore, Tesla announced a change of plan regarding cheaper vehicles. While it appears to finally confirm the cheaper model based on the "unboxed" system, which we reported as NV9, is canceled, the automaker says it will build new cheaper vehicles on its existing production
A few thoughts to navigate this storm ⛈️ of lies & deceptions from $TSLA earning call:
1 - production outlook
2 - deliveries & FCF
3 - new Frankenstein models (new & old together)
4 - Uber competition
5 - FSD & Robotaxi
1) production was cut by 30% in 🇨🇳, by 10-15% in 🇺🇸 & 🇪🇺

supposed to never sell shares of

ever again? "Further, Musk from time to time may commit to investing in significant business or other ventures, and as a result, be required to sell shares of our stock in satisfaction of such commitments"
🚨 $TSLA - Austin, we have a China 🇨🇳 problem ‼️ The BAD: assuming 10-12k sales in the next 2 weeks, YoY should be in the -3 to -6%, despite price ✂️ in the range of -15 to -20%
The UGLY: 🇨🇳 can only get worse
The GOOD: 🇪🇺 are less terrible than anticipated. See 🧵 ⬇️
I made the difficult decision to move on from Tesla after 18 years yesterday. I am so thankful to have worked with and learned from the countless incredibly talented people at Tesla over the years.

Does any of the fanboys understand that he did a poll on Twitter (sorry, on

- moving to Texas
- he doing this poll
With his actions, he is basically confirming that the present BoD is useless
@garyblack00
@squawksquare
@p_ferragu
The public vote is unequivocally in favor of Texas!
Tesla will move immediately to hold a shareholder vote to transfer state of incorporation to Texas.
Do you remember when the market thought Elon bought shares? Similar situation, 10x larger in size:
1) $TSLA licensing from Baidu , so Tesla pays Baidu, for its Maps, old news but I bet that the crowds thought Baidu was an OEM and $TSLA licensed SFSD to them
2) SFSD or not FSD?
$TSLA catalyst recap:
- inventories at ATH
- M3 Highland production in the 🇺🇸 halted
- massive layoffs globally (15-20% likely of the workforce)
- likely a drug addicted CEO
- competition stronger than ever
- EPS est going down
Share price trades at the same level of last year
we are all inpatients to read the bullish takes on $TSLA from:
- Adam Jonas from $MS $310 PT
- Dan Ives, Wedbush $300
- T. Narayan, RBC, $298
