Tesla To Offer “Company Update” With Tuesday’s Earnings Report: What To Watch<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Tesla has set its Q1 2025 earnings call for Tuesday, April 22, at 4:30 p.m. CT \/ 5:30 p.m. ET. As usual, the event will be livestreamed, with a recording available later on Tesla\u2019s website. The Q1 Update Letter will be released after markets close that same day.<\/p>\n

This quarter, as multiple Tesla blogs like Teslarati<\/a> have pointed out, Tesla is also adding a new element: a \u201cCompany Update.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the first time, the term appeared in both its vehicle delivery report and on the company\u2019s official X account.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to posting first quarter results, Tesla management will hold a live company update<\/em><\/strong> and question and answer webcast that day,\u201d the company stated.<\/p>\n

Speculation is growing that Tesla may use the update to reveal more about its upcoming projects, particularly the affordable EVs teased in its Q4 2024 report: \u201cPlans for new vehicles, including more affordable models, remain on track for start of production in the first half of 2025…\u201d<\/p>\n

Tesla\u2019s Q1 2025 earnings are expected to show a 4.4% decline in profit to $0.43 per share, with revenue holding steady at $21.45 billion, according to FactSet.<\/p>\n

Analyst estimates range from $0.30 to $0.51 per share, but consensus has dropped over 40% since late 2024. Piper Sandler warned the results will \u201clikely underwhelm,\u201d with margins \u201cprobably trending near multiyear lows.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s five things in particular investors will be looking for in this upcoming report and\/or update, IBD noted this weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Investor focus is shifting to Tesla\u2019s promised robotaxi rollout.<\/strong> Musk has said paid rides would begin in Austin this June, but his past claims about autonomy have repeatedly fallen short. The latest FSD update shows modest progress, but it’s still far from viable as a robotaxi platform.<\/p>\n

The Cybercab\u2014unveiled last year as a two-seater without a steering wheel\u2014is supposed to launch before 2027 at under $30,000.<\/p>\n

However, Reuters recently reported that Trump\u2019s 145% tariff on Chinese goods has halted key parts shipments, possibly delaying both the Cybercab and Semi. The Cybercab\u2019s cost-saving \u201cunboxed\u201d manufacturing method also remains unproven.<\/p>\n

Tesla\u2019s long-teased affordable EV. <\/strong>Reports suggest the first lower-cost option may just be a simplified Model Y, possibly arriving in 2025 or 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vehicle sales for Q1 fell 13% year-over-year to 336,681<\/strong>. Growth is expected to stagnate this year, with consensus forecasting a modest 3% increase in deliveries, though some analysts now expect fewer sales than in 2024.<\/p>\n

China sales rose slightly but remain low-margin, while U.S. and European demand has been hit by Musk\u2019s controversial public profile.<\/p>\n

While Tesla\u2019s exposure to Trump\u2019s tariffs<\/strong> is limited compared to other automakers, it still relies on Chinese suppliers for battery components, including CATL and BYD. Investors will be watching for updates on how Tesla plans to respond to trade tensions and cost pressures.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s political involvement<\/strong> is also on watch. He has been rumored to be finishing his work with DOGE by May and people are watching for a potential full-time return to Tesla.<\/p>\n

IBD adds<\/a> that a\u00a0March YouGov\/Yahoo News poll found 67% of U.S. adults wouldn\u2019t consider a Tesla, with 37% citing Musk as the reason. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, a longtime bull, cut his Tesla price target by 40%, calling the situation a \u201cperfect storm\u201d and estimating Tesla has lost at least 10% of its future customer base\u2014potentially more than 20% in Europe.<\/p>\n

Demonstrations at dealerships and reports of vandalism continue. Musk is reportedly planning to leave his White House role, but no timeline has been confirmed. Investors will be listening for any update on his level of involvement moving forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
