I have to roll my eyes a bit at the wall st reaction. Maybe some context is helpful. Not everyone here has held the stock for years, so its worth restating what people know who have listened to countless Tesla earnings calls. (I've been at it for about 8 years now!0.
Unless you fancy yourself some 4D chess day-trader.... DO NOT SELL. This happens now and then with Tesla earnings. The stock is hugely manipulated, and wall st are also terrible at understanding the company. Sometimes, with zero news, the stock rockets like crazy, some times, especially after 'analysts' get to ask elon dumb questions, the stock dives.
By far the easiest way to make a fortune from TSLA is to buy and hold. You are NOT better than everyone else art timing the market. Tomorrow TSLA could drop another 10%, or go up 20%. Its incredibly hard to predict. Selling now to 'get back in even lower' is how a lot of traders ended up losing a fortune on this stock.
Earnings had zero bad news. The only downside was elon rambled a bit, and no positive surprises. People are reading too much into the proposed Q3 downtime for retooling. Thats clearly highland, which should both cut costs and boost production. Do people REALLY think that Tesla would do that if they hadn't run the numbers and calculated it would earn more money long term?
Hold, or Buy. Anybody who sells right now, on the verge of first cybertruck production and pre-highland is going to feel very silly.
Personally I wont sell anything below $300-350. Waiting for $400 to sell a noticeable chunk. Holding 3/4 of my shares for 5+ more years, teslabot,dojo,model2,fsd.
