InsideEVs are considering to stop their monthly scorecards. What will the shorts use to spread FUD about dwindling sales for the first two months of every quarter if that happens?

Remember the iMac? Where’s the floppy drive? Just USB ports? Crazy. Hey, that iPhone, with all those chicklet keys it DOESN’T have? How many buttons are on it? Mine has 4.
You need 800 buttons and switches when you can’t figure out a way to do it better with less. Once you have less and you use it that way, you realize all those buttons are just too much. Now, you’ve got your die hard blackberry users, those who prefer all the knobs, levers, and those who ride horses to work. Whatever they like, sure, there’s a market for it, but the Model 3 is like the iMac, the iPhone, an exercise in mechanical minimalism as they simply aren’t required.
I suspect that long term things like voice control will handle a lot of duties, and Tesla is adding features that use those wheels on the steering wheel. I’ve heard some complaints about no speedometer just above the wheel in the Model 3, but most Model 3 owners seem not not care. When you’re using Autopilot for most cruising situations, you don’t need to look at the speedo. Anyhow, just an illustration. I suspect the Y to be minimalistic like the 3. Knobs, switches, and levers will remain in some capacity in the Model S until enough owners clamor for Model 3 styling.

I don’t think it will be today, but I think we’ll see more probably by Friday.

I don’t know - I guess for people to continue to use old habits. It is utterly annoying cause you are not even sure the stuff is on or off when you leave the car.

It behaves as one would expect after having seen it in action before. Doesn’t don any crazy swerving that could put an alert driver out, it just follows the line “as always”. It may freak out someone who has never experienced AP before, though.
I honestly find surprising how people is reacting to this.

The most important one: "As a result, Tesla does not require an equity or debt raise this year, apart from standard credit lines. "

You and me both.
EDIT: It has been speculated in the previous weeks that the convenient FUD stories (including Moody's downgrade) were artificial to create a buying opportunity for insiders that KNEW about the delivery numbers. This is imho now confirmed.
You could say we all could have predicted it easily, but hindsight is 20-20. There was discussion in the right direction, yes, but nobody knew for sure we would be up after Q1 delivery report.
I find it really appalling that small investors get wrecked because of big parties with deep pockets and insider knowledge.

I think we have a lift off today.
Thanks everyone for sticking around.

9,766 were Model 3 ... this number by itself is really bad, worse than the 1K/wk exit rate in previous quarter.
However, the Shorts/FUD piled on so much crap for past few weeks like bankwptcy etc etc, and now none of it stuck. So kind of a relief rally based on facts now.
Hope the VINs and deliveries keep increasing in upcoming weeks

...and CNBC simply hasn't SAID "Tesla" in the last half-hour, even once, despite lots of coverage of other auto stocks.
Apparently if it isn't dramatic in a negative way, they can't think what to say. $244 to $262 in one day doesn't give them much to froth about.

By that argument, a normal car with no assistive devices has unlimited liability for the company that makes it. The operator can steer it off a cliff, directly into a barrier, at oncoming traffic, etc. and the vehicle will do nothing to prevent it! All of these things have happened with actual cars with actual drivers so it is totally predictable that it will happen and known by every manufacturer, but automakers have not solved these problems. Shame on them! They should have stopped selling cars that actually move decades ago in order to maximize safety.
Or you can take the reasonable view that the operator has the responsibility to operate the car properly and recognize that when they don't it is their responsibility.
I feel like the press release is better for the bears...
First, Tesla subtly moving the goal posts again. They didn't report cars made during the last 7 days of the quarter, just "the past 7 days," including April 1 and 2. They also dropped a hard commitment for 5k/week by the end of Q2, now giving a vague "about 3 months."
Second, Model S/X down significantly year over year. Tesla needed these to be up in order to keep generating revenue.
Third, but Tesla again undermined its own credibility from the Q4 release, where they "extrapolated 1k/week" and yet ended the quarter with only 9766. Is it fair to say Tesla won't break 20k total this quarter?
They burned a record amount of cash, with losses likely approaching 1B or more. I think the stock price will come back down.
I'm still short through earnings.
