Guidance

This quarter · FY26-Q1

Called 2026-04-23

Automotive gross margin expanded for the first time in five quarters as raw-material and logistics costs eased. Energy storage deployments were called out as the highest-growth line. Robotaxi commentary moved from "in development" toward a specific city pilot, though delivery dates remained soft.

  • Automotive gross margin ex-credits expanded modestly; first improvement after a multi-quarter compression.
  • Energy-storage backlog described as multi-year; megapack capacity utilisation the lever cited.
  • Robotaxi pilot framed around a named launch city with a quarter-band, not a date.
  • FSD subscription revenue acknowledged as a distinct line in commentary, though not in the financial breakout yet.

Prior · FY25-Q4

Called 2026-01-29

Auto margins compressed further with continued price actions; management framed it as a deliberate volume-over-margin trade. Energy storage flagged as the standout growth segment. Robotaxi positioned as a 2026 narrative without a concrete pilot date.

  • Auto gross margin compressed again; management framed it as deliberate, tied to share defense in two markets.
  • Energy-storage growth called the bright spot; megapack production constrained, not demand-constrained.
  • Robotaxi discussion stayed at the framework level; no city, no date.
  • Capex outlook held flat; opex grew on AI compute spend, characterised as a strategic step-up.

Crowded short setup on TSLA — squeeze risk in both directions

Crowded short

on the borrow

Short interest is 22.1% of float with 82% utilization and rising borrow cost — the kind of crowded-short profile that historically reads as elevated volatility around TSLA. Cuts both ways: a rally forces covering, a fundamental miss feeds the thesis.
