To lose value on such a non event. Management need to say something today. With price drop musk can no longer claim ignorance of issue. How about saying we never scheduled for today but will release soon
I received my delivery button yesterday (res 16,400) for a P85 with a delivery March 14-27th. I am wondering if they are pushing through the Performance versions of the vehicle because they make more profit on each unit, which I am assuming since most manufacturers make more money on the higher priced units.
Yes they are producing the higher end models first because of the margins they bring.

i also emailed the ir of tesla about the date of the conf. call days ago, still no response, i also asked them today whether there will be any announcement today. Also no response. Im startin to think that the person responsible for comm is still havin vacation
Since Tesla has not responded to multiple requests, they are not ready to announce. Why?

I play a nice person on twitter.
They've never said they'd announce today. It's not a conspiracy if it doesn't happen on a schedule forced upon them by rumor.
(And if I WERE a conspiracy nut, I'd be more likely to say it was just a little trick from the shorts, along the lines of "OMG they didn't announce earnings on Monday what is wrong what are they hiding???!!!??" But I'm not a conspiracy nut. It's more likely one source got it wrong and the other news orgs picked it up.)

I was told I have till Feb 18 to "Finalize" my S design or loose 2012 pricing. (Res #15580 made in Dec. 2012)
My guess is TMC is waiting to see how many commit to there reservation's made to capture the 2012 pricing and then announce. They would have a better idea of Q1-2 2013 revenues projections for their forward outlook... All that being said, look to Feb 18 or 19 for earnings call. Just MO.

haha true story. But I'm like 30 days away from my initial order to be a long term!

They don't need to have a reason to not announce earnings today other than scheduling conflicts.
I guarantee you it has absolutely nothing to do with trying to manipulate the stock price. All this talk about trying to wait out the fallout from the NYT story or lock in more orders is just ridiculous. That's just not how these things work.

This is a sound business decision. I would not be surprised if they are pushing through 75%/25% of 85's to 60's.
And for those worrying about high numbers, keep in mind that you are TMC members. You are invested in getting your car ASAP. Other reservationists might not be responding to their e-mails, not even checking their e-mail, or placed a reservation and forgot about it. Does Tesla even have a system for calling people with reservations? I'm sure they are cranking through reservations in the simplest way possible and waiting for a response. Those that respond are getting their car, those that aren't will be contacted in the future. They haven't cancelled they just haven't responded. People have busy lives and for some this car is not a priority even though they want one. That's my take on it...

The problem could be that they do not know the date when report will be ready. There is no reason to postpone earnings release. But there could be problems they are working out with auditors atm. And they simply do not know how long will it take to fix them.
But whenever date would be known, they will produce press release and then announce earnings.
Something like that is the most likely reason. The question is what the difficulty is. It could be benign or significant. Definitely not having an announced earnings date at this point is unusual.
Update from MarketWatch (MarketWatch.com
Tesla Motors is likely to announce this week the exact date of the auto firm's fourth-quarter results, the company told MarketWatch. The electric car company will not release earnings on Monday or this week. "The company hopes to announce the exact date of the earnings release this week," said Shanna Hendriks, Communications Manager for Tesla. "Any announcement so far has been purely false speculations."

I had it in my calendar that TSLA was to release their Q4 results today (02/11/13) and I am signed up for e-mail alerts on all press releases.
So far, the only date appears to be on the NASDAQ web site, which states the earnings report is *expected* to be released on 02/13/13.
It is troubling that TSLA is not releasing earnings as previously scheduled. I suspect that the auditors have not signed off on the 12/31/12 numbers yet and, if so, the Board has not approved the numbers.
I will be most interested to see how TSLA recognizes revenue in Q4 and what their reservation payments and deferred revenues are as at 12/31/12.
The markets will be choppy ...

TSLA will win
According to this article, Tesla Investor Relations Vice President Jeff Evanson himself was in error (didn't know):
This must be the most anticipated quarterly report so far...
(BTW, he might just have meant they would announce the date today.)
