Emphasis theirs.

It has been hard to track Tesla’s sales because the automaker is the most opaque when it comes to breaking down sales per model. Tesla bundles sales of Model 3 and Model Y together and all other vehicles (Model S, Model X, Cybertruck, and Tesla Semi) into its “other models” category.

Today, Tesla released its Q4 delivery numbers and confirmed that it delivered 23,640 units of its “other models.”

Based on how Model S and Model X sales have been tracking, we estimate that Tesla delivered between 9,000 and 12,000 Cybertrucks in Q4, which is likely less than in Q3 despite launching the cheaper non-Foundation Series models and opening orders beyond those with reservations.

    I remember when Tesla's days were supposed to be numbered, like, five years ago. I don't think market fundamentals matter anymore. If you have enough money you can just do whatever you want and your company will go to the moon

      IIRC the company is still way overvalued relative to their actual production as compared to other car companies, it's just that even with the decline when Musk became an open nazi, there are still enough rich tech-bros supporting him and buying shares to keep the price high.

        It's not even tech bros, many, many 401k's and other funds include Tesla because of the stock performance. If the company were to tank it'd have significant impact on the entire country. They're literally too big to fail

      I regret not buying Tesla stock during the pandemic. It was a free money machine.

      The thing with companies crashing is it only happens once. The longer this one stays over valued the harder the tumble will be.

      I predict the overall stock market is going to get hit hard around this one. With a trillion dollar market cap, it's not just frat boys and speculators who own this stock.
