Tesla's Q2 2024 Earnings Call: Insider Secrets and What to Expect
As the second quarter of 2024 wraps up, all eyes are on Tesla as the electric vehicle giant preps for its highly anticipated earnings call. With production and delivery figures already in, the company's Q2 performance is set to make headlines, possibly swaying the stock market and adding yet another chapter to Tesla’s intriguing journey.
Production and Deliveries: The Numbers
Earlier this week, Tesla released its second-quarter production and delivery figures, culminating in the creation of 410,831 electric vehicles and the delivery of 443,956 units. These numbers have dipped slightly compared to the 479,700 produced and 466,140 delivered during the same period in 2023. The bulk of Tesla's success in Q2 hinged on the popular Model 3 and Model Y, with an impressive 422,405 units delivered out of the total. Meanwhile, the higher-end Model S, Model X, and the much-anticipated Cybertruck contributed to the remaining 21,551 deliveries.
Analyst Expectations vs. Reality
The buzz around Tesla's Q2 performance is heightened by a mix of surfer-high expectations and some sobering surprises. Analysts had generally forecasted approximately 438,019 deliveries for Q2, a number that Tesla actually surpassed, albeit modestly. This follows a Q1 performance that had some investors biting their nails, as deliveries fell below 400,000 for the first time since Q3 2022.
What's in Store from the Earnings Call?
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, July 23, at 4:30 p.m. Central Time, when Tesla will hold its Q2 2024 earnings call. The call promises to offer a treasure trove of insights, especially given CEO Elon Musk’s recent remarks at the 2024 annual shareholder meeting. Musk hinted at the potential revival of the referral program in Q3 and the possibility of offering the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system transfer free of charge for one more quarter.
More Than Just Numbers
But it’s not all about production and delivery statistics. Musk recently teased the Foundation Series Cybertruck and provided critical updates on the launch edition vehicle. Additionally, Tesla's future promises only get more ambitious with plans to unveil a robotaxi platform in August, slated for August 8. This platform is based on Tesla’s advanced FSD system, offering a glimpse into a fully autonomous, ride-sharing future.

With Elon Musk steering the ship, the automotive and tech worlds are bracing themselves for revelations that could reshape the industry's landscape once more.
