    1. Tesla don’t need no revenue! This is a revenue miss while throwing incentives out right and left. Q2 going to be soooo bad.

      Second quarter will be vastly worse, the cars are garbage, the person running the company is just trash, I can’t wait to see its stock price in single digits 

    3. Tesla stock is essentially the equivalent of a meme coin at this point.

      Shit report? Goes up. People all over the world not buying? Goes up.

      Mind you, Tesla stock is worth more than all the other major car companies COMBINED and it isn’t even top 10 in sales. It makes zero fucking sense. I keep hearing that “investors are optimistic of their future technology” but BASED ON WHAT?! The semi was a lie. The roadster was a lie. The taxi was a lie. The robot was a lie. The self driving improvements were grossly exaggerated. From an investment standpoint, it makes zero sense to trust the company and it’s already valued at a level as if it implemented ALL of those things and then some.

      It’s similar to Trump. Dude just goes up, does the most batshit things, and it somehow benefits him.

    4. That makes Q1 2025 Tesla’s worst quarter by sales since Q2 2022 and its least profitable period since Q1 2020

    5. That’s all? I bet they have majorly fudged the numbers just to get these disappointing figures.

    6. Tesla needs to be pulled from the S&P 500.

      This needs to be said, they are being propped up by Index Funds.

      They are a TOXIC brand.

    7. Tesla is the modern age tulip-mania. This stock is just completely detached from any reality. By several orders of magnitude. How can anyone in their right mind justify this market cap? It’s absurd.

      My take is that Tesla will be the biggest failure in stock market history.

      It must suck to be an accountant working there right now….all the pressure to inflate the revenue, reduce the liabilities accrued, defer costs to the balance sheet.

      I know from experience these reported numbers are fat with all sorts of bs kicked down the road in hopes of somehow turning it around later.

      Its the worst part of the job: getting beat on to hide the incompetence and negligence of the brain trust.

      How much did market makers just get in options premiums off of degens? It’ll start going down after weekly expiration.

      Anything Trump touches turns to 💩
      But let Elon find that out on his own…

    12. I’m calling Tesla the reverse Gamestop. By all logic, it should go down. This time, though, it’s being held up by hedge funds and the rich. Meme stock at its core

      Extremely bad earnings are one thing but they are the past now. Future doesn’t look very bright either. So they pulled the guidance, the new affordable model will be some makeshift product ( “These vehicles will utilize aspects of the next generation platform as well as aspects of our current platforms and will be produced on the same manufacturing lines as our current vehicle lineup.”) and the energy sector seems to be stagnant compared to overall 2024 and will be hit by the tariffs. Wonder how Elon will weasel himself out of this clusterfuck in the conference call.

    14. Tesla reported $409M in GAAP net income for Q1 2025, but they also made $595M from selling regulatory credits. That means the core business actually ran at a ~$186M loss without those credits. I’m not an accountant, but that’s pretty concerning—especially since credit sales aren’t sustainable long-term as other automakers go electric. Investors should be asking if Tesla’s core operations are still profitable on their own.
