Tesla Q3 Misses Expectations: EPS and Revenue Fall Short as Auto Sales Decline

Tesla Non-GAAP EPS of $0.45 misses by $0.05, 

Revenue of $21.31B misses by $950M

Reasons for the lower revenue: Reduced vehicle average selling price (ASP) YoY (excl. FX impact), an unfavorable product of the mix,  and a decline in vehicle deliveries, partially due to the Model 3 update in the Fremont factory and Giga Berlin production disruptions.

A negative FX impact of $0.2B1 + growth in other parts of the business + higher FSD revenue recognition YoY due to the release of the Autopark feature in North America.

Beneath all that  – Total revenues are lower by 9% YoY, and auto revenues are down 13% YoY.  Energy and service revenues are keeping the flag flying still.

The stock is holding up at $154 – I guess it wasn’t worse than expected.
