Investing.com - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) reported Wednesday fourth-quarter results that beat on both the top and bottom lines, though flagged supply-chain issues as the main drag on growth.  

Tesla shares fell 4% in after-hours trading following the report.

Tesla announced earnings per share of $2.54 on revenue of $17.72 billion. Analysts polled by Investing.com anticipated EPS of $2.25 on revenue of $16.88 billion.

Regulatory credit revenue fell 22% to $314 million.

Earlier this month, Tesla reported fourth quarter deliveries of more than 308,650 vehicles, well above expectations for 263,422.

Automotive margins, a measure of profitability, marginally improved, rising to 30.6% in the fourth quarter from 30.5% in the third, and up 648 basis points from the same period a year earlier.

"In Q4, we saw a continuation of global supply chain, transportation, labor and other manufacturing challenges, limiting our ability to run our factories at full capacity."

Anyone whoes bearish mean they didnt get in a few months ago.
Tesla make great one-of-kind vehicles with stamped body, HVAC system that is fantastic. Putting an electric engine in a conventional Ford/GM doesn’t cut it…additional it is not just about vehicles, they are energy production via solomar, batteries etc and creating new product. Auto industry doesnt hold a candle to Tesla.
compare revenue to ford, Toyota, gm, etc,??? 50 bucks a share tops.
In 2007 Nokia, Motorola, Blackberry sold way more phones compared to Apple. Stop looking at rear view mirror.
Now, is this Tesla autos only, or all ofbT including off hrid power equipment?
tesla rocks!
One for the future - is it worth $1 Trillion right now - more than the 10 biggest car manufacturers in the world combined (Including Ford, GE, BMW, Toyota and Volkswagen)??? Nooo! A lot of its cars are only rated average versus competitors' emerging offerings and almost constant callbacks due to flaws (a lot of its price premium is from more from branding). If a Trade War escalates with China which is where Tesla makes a large chunk of its profits - you could see its share price half (which is actually probably a fairer valuation of its real value/potential).
compétition for ev is increasing, beating forecast is good, beating them at the scale commanded by the stock price is another. Tesla is priced as if it will one day hold 80% of all car sold, not exactly what the current results support.
keep in mind. they're not just going to be producing cars..
Yes but the current price level is priced for 'perfection' with Tesla to hit every target and grow by 50% every year until 2025 +. Plus by 2025 you can see Ford / GE / Volkswagen, Toyota eating into the EV market sales. Its new battery line wont be out until 2025, its new factory are already months behind schedule, china tensions, plus you would think high inflation/possibility of a recession in the next 24 months will hit its price considerably
how will I be earning profit
ponzi

Is BTC in their balance sheet
