Why is Shanghai production only listed as >450000? We know it’s MUCH more than this. Are they sandbagging?

A decrease in automotive margin excluding credits IS a surprise. Not sure what happened there.
IIRC Troy had a decrease in ASP due to just selling more in China of the cheaper models.

This report is good, it'll be digested and estimates for 22 and 23 will have to be increased by most of the street. Combine that with the call, we should see a pretty solid response to this over the next 10-14 days.
 
Opex is a downer on the quarter for sure and that has significantly affected earnings. However, Deliveries up 87% YOY. Revenue up 71% YOY. Earnings per share up 204% YOY. If you're looking for a growth company, this is it.

This is why opex was up
- increase in SG&A driven mainly by $340M payroll tax on 2012 CEO award option exercise
-incurring SBC expense attributable to the 2018 CEO award of $245M in Q4, driven by the final two operational milestones becoming probable.
Yup... combine that with more Chinese sales is why we see this falling under the highs of 2.80+. The 2018 award will sit for a little while longer on the income statement, but nearly through the short term impacts. 2022 is going to be wild!

Yep, some one time hits increased Opex. Which means Q1 2022 without those hits should be JUICY!!!! :cool:
