    Model 3 Performance Gross Margin

    I expect sales mix to remain favorable in the coming months, as potential buyers reach up to take delivery by year-end in order to qualify for the $7500 federal tax credit. Model 3 Performance delivery time is "less than 2 months" vs. 2 to 4 months for other variants. This upcoming phenomenon is...

    3Q18 Free Cash Flow

    Many bulls and most bears point to Tesla's near-term liquidity need as the number one issue capping the stock price, but I expect Tesla's 3Q18 Free Cash Flow to surprise most market participants, and once and for all, resolve this conundrum in favor of bulls.

    3Q18 Capital Expenditures

    ValueAnalyst on Twitter My followers get it: Tesla's Maintenance CapEx comprises only a fraction of its Total CapEx. Based on an analysis of depreciation expense on relatively new assets, and competitors' output per CapEx$, I estimate our company's Maintenance CapEx at less than $1B in 2017 and...
