Yes, wording can vary.Haven`t read the Daimler ER, but they could be talking about a different metric. Tesla`s gross profit on the cars is 20%+, but their net profits after SG&A and other items factored in was around 4% in Q3.
No big drop in pre-market today. 0.6% down compared to 0.2% up Nasdaq futures.
True, then add that US MSRP is rarely the actual purchase price because of dealer negotiations, added "trash and trinkets" etc. I have purchased new vehicles in ten countries. The US is the only one in which I could not know my actual sales price prior to negotiation. Huge exception: Tesla. Only Tesla. We complain about the sales process with Tesla but it is far batter than any other vehicle purchasing experience in the US. I say that despite my complaints about the Model 3 purchase process.The US doesn't use VAT, but "sales tax", which is different. Part of the problem - and the reason that prices don't include sales taxes - is that it'd be far harder. US sales taxes vary from state to state, county to county, and even city to city. So, I mean, how do you advertise a price inclusive in tax when you don't know what the actual tax will be in any specific viewer's market?
It's not a consumer protection thing, it's a "US is a patchwork mess" thing
So what's the argument - Tesla can't sustain 5+k/wk in just the US and Canada with no non-pup SR? Well no freaking duh. Who was arguing that they ever would? That said, the closer they get to non-PUP SR, the larger the percentage of their sales they'll move in the US and Canada, and thus the less international shipping and tariffs they have to pay to sell their production.
Because you’re Elon Musk and your sole purpose in life is to accelerate sustainable transportation, not gouge people and keep your EVs unaffordable. That’s why.
The lower prices get, the more people start to think about switching to an EV. Thinking becomes figuring out at what price it’s possible m. Figuring leads to budgeting and discovering true costs of ownership. And that leads to buying.
If you’re confused about the price reduction, its timing or anything else, you don’t understand Elon Musk or Tesla’s mission. You just don’t get it nor do you understand your fellow human and what will motivate them to change.
So this price cut got me thinking. The MR probably only makes (financial) sense with PUP right now, but in theory, a $43k PUP-MR means a 38k standard interior MR. If Tesla can pull that off in a few months, does a 35k SR still makes sense? The MR is so much of a better deal on the range/$ scale.
My guess is the ships continue onto Norway and unload more cars. Elon on the last earnings call - "our whole focus is, okay, how do we get those cars made, get them on a ship as fast as possible, get the ship as fast as possible to Zeebrugge in Belgium then get them over to Drammen in Norway and get those cars to customers as fast as possible."
Imagine how impressive this would be if it were $282.95.I was waiting for that day!

Tesla up 2.3% on the day Jonas issues his price target cut. What does this mean? Adam Jonas is irreverent.

Amazon is bringing down the marketTurned some of my calls into a spread this morning... if this price keeps going down, maybe I'll cover that spread for a quick profit
Is there anything in particular driving this decline, or is this just a typical MMD?
Amazon down 1.19% so TSLA goes down 1.5%???Amazon is bringing down the market
Not especially. NASDAQ-100 down overall. Here's today's big mover:Amazon is bringing down the market
The trading plan can basically be anything that is algorithmically valid*. Maybe her plan is just "exercise and sell 1700/month on the first wednesday" or something. I agree it seems silly, but it might have been set in stone with the expectation that the price would be much higher by now.Johnson is really unlucky with her trading plan. Second month in a row that she's executing options for 1700 shares and selling the stock right away for a gain of literally pennies per share. Personally not so familiar with how these pre-approved trading plans work. Can't you set a limit price under which you will not convert? Her option purchase price is $319.57 and only expire in 2024. Shorter termed calls at that price are already worth $88 so any exercise price set today below $400 seems foolish. What do I miss?
Reports of deliveries Model 3 in Belgium & Netherlands today.
The ship arrived yesterday..
edit: reported 200 deliveries today
Can you provide a source?
I think mainly the state of the union where Trump sounded hawkish on China trade deal.Not especially. NASDAQ-100 down overall. Here's today's big mover:
