I would avoid taking a high-conviction position immediately before the delivery report.
A delivery beat could spark a relief rally, especially if expectations have already been revised lower. However, one quarter of deliveries does not resolve the bigger questions around margins, pricing power and execution of Tesla's AI, robotaxi and chip ambitions.
Burry's short reflects downside risk if demand disappoints or guidance weakens. Gary Black's view suggests deliveries may exceed consensus, but even a beat may not lift the stock if investors were expecting more.
The more important signal is management's outlook. I would rather react to both the delivery figures and commentary than gamble on the binary outcome. Over the long term, Tesla's valuation still depends more on successful execution in autonomy and AI than on a single quarter's deliveries.
