418k deliveries, down -16% for q4.
-8.6% down yoy deliveries

i'm pretty sure the tax rebate going away and the whole anti-elon movement was a big part of this hit.

From a stock perspective, short interest is still very low at 2-3%.


Rivian is down similar numbers at 18%

Rivian's 2025 deliveries slip below expectations as EV demand pressure persists

Rivian on Friday reported 2025 electric vehicle deliveries that fell slightly more than expected, underscoring the pressure on demand for higher-priced EVs as it prepares to start delivering a lower-cost model in the first half of 2026.

In other news, BYD took over the top spot for EV sales

China’s BYD overtakes Tesla as world’s top EV seller for the first time

The milestone caps an extraordinary rise for BYD, a company Tesla's Elon Musk once dismissed by laughing at their products.

The BYD cars are apples/oranges to Tesla's.

full disclosure, I'm a small (handful) shareholder of TSLA for many years now. Just like I am with lucid and rivian.
I've found better returns in some option-strategy funds like I listed here: Master List of EV Stocks and ETFs as the only thing consistent with these companies is volatility.

Tesla's lineup is getting stale. Elon shoulda made the Model 2--and the Roadster, for that matter.

is the model 2 officially dead? i've heard mixed things...

Didn't the Model 2 get trapped in the guise of a Robotaxi? And who knows what's "official" in Elon's world?

Personally, he should have cut out laying off 10% of the employees each year by making a hard challenge:

• Improve the price-performance of each product by 10% each year
  • Reduce price
  • Improve efficiency
  • Total of 10% between both

Applying Prius tuning techniques:

• 4 mi/kWh -> 4.5 mi/kWh, .5/4 ~= 12% more efficient
• $300 OEM tires -> $210 3d party ~= 70% cheaper
  • 30,000 mi -> 60,0000 mi wear rating ~= 50% cheaper

Price-Performance is the golden rule to follow for success.

perhaps this will help the stock price as Tesla is the only car company making and deploying grid scale battery's.
Tesla’s Energy business closed out 2025 with yet another milestone, as the company deployed a record 14.2 GWh of energy storage in Q4 2025. The result, a 29% increase year-over-year, caps off Tesla’s strongest year ever for stationary storage and reinforces the company’s accelerating momentum in grid-scale batteries.

The Q4 performance stands out not only as a quarterly record, but also as a key contributor to Tesla’s broader energy growth trajectory. Tesla’s storage business has moved from incremental gains earlier in the decade to a steep, sustained growth curve beginning in 2023 and accelerating sharply through 2024 and 2025.

@No Ice, last year I saw a Tesla M3 in Ann Arbor with a "NO ICE" license plate.

Big down day on the markets today, yet TSLA went up. Not a great year end report, but didn't seem to hurt the stock. Go figure... I guess people are ready for robots and AV driving.

 

[No Ice]

Well, possibly the 1.1 billion profit on battery storage sales may have had something to do with the stock price going up

I'm guessing there's a machine at the Horseshoe Casino that dispenses 10-share blocks of Tesla stock.

This statement seems like fiction. To my knowledge, no Horseshoe Casino has slot machines that “give out Tesla shares” or any other securities — casinos only work with cash winnings and bonuses. If you are interested in a real and legal gambling experience, it is worth using official resources and online platforms where games, rules, and licenses are clearly described, without myths and dubious stories.

You can't tell when someone is making a facetious joke?
