MARKET PROFILE. Tesla’s global vehicle deliveries totaled 936,172 units in 2021, up from 499,647 units in
2020, 367,656 in 2019, and 245,506 in 2018. In 2020, sales benefited from the late 2019 China factory H. Mizuno K. Wilson-Thompson

range. Longer-term, TSLA also has plans to manufacture an electric Semi-truck and to reintroduce its 2003
Roadster, an electric sports car model that it last produced in 2012. TSLA broke ground on its new factory in
Germany in early 2020. On July 22, 2020, Tesla announced that its new U.S. factory would be built near Employees
Austin, Texas, with the plant expected to build the Cybertruck, Semi, Model 3, and Model Y vehicles for the 99,290
eastern half of North America. Tesla anticipates making first deliveries of the Cybertruck and Semi in 2023.
On March 22, 2022, Tesla held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Germany factory and the grand opening Stockholders
party for the Austin factory took place on April 7, 2022. 7,051
As of April 20, 2022, the company said its annual installed vehicle production capacity is approximately 1.05
million units, consisting of 600,000 units at its Fremont factory in California (500,000 Model 3 and Y plus
100,000 for the Model S and X) and 450,000 units of Model 3/Y capacity at its Shanghai, China factory.
On December 21, 2020, TSLA was the largest company ever added to the S&P 500 by a wide margin (the
second largest was Facebook, now Meta Platforms).
TSLA expects first deliveries of three new vehicle models in the coming quarters: the Cybertruck (2023), the
Semi (2023), and Roadster (2023). The Cybertruck reportedly had a reservation count of over 1.3 million as
of early 2022. TSLA’s long-term goal is to grow its annual vehicle sales volumes from roughly 500,000 units
in 2020 to 20 million units by 2030, which would represent an increase of 40x. In order to achieve this goal,
we think TSLA might have to grow through acquisition and we see opportunities arising as competition
intensifies across the auto industry. We estimate TSLA’s sales volumes will grow from 936K units in 2021 to
1.47M in 2022, 2.00M in 2023, and 2.30M in 2024, with output being restricted by global semiconductor
shortages and supply chain issues, which we see lasting at least through the end of 2022.
FINANCIAL TRENDS. Tesla’s revenues increased from $24.6 billion in 2019 to $31.5 billion in 2020 and $47.2
billion in 2021, driven primarily by increasing vehicle sales. TSLA’s adjusted EPS went from a loss of $0.02 in
2019 to a profit of $2.24 in 2020 and $6.78 in 2021. In 2021, TSLA posted a 203% increase in adjusted EPS
($6.78 vs. $2.24), as revenue rose 71% and gross margin (GAAP) expanded by 430 bps to 25.3%. In Q1
2022, TSLA posted a 246% increase in adjusted EPS ($3.22 vs. $0.93), as revenue rose 81% and gross
margin expanded 780 bps to 29.1%.
As of March 31, 2021, TSLA had $18.0 billion of cash and equivalents, up from $17.7 billion at the end of
2021. Total debt (excluding vehicle and energy product financing) stood at only $88 million, down from $1.4
billion at the end of 2021.

We maintain our 12-month target of $1,300, based on a ’24 P/E of 90x justified by

TSLA posts Q1 vehicle sales of 310,048 units (+68% Y/Y), slightly shy of the 312,540
consensus, but ahead of our 300,000 estimate. TSLA’s growth stands in stark
contrast to other automakers who posted steep decline in U.S. sales in Q1 (Toyota’s
sales were -15% and GM’s -20%). Furthermore, we think the startup of TSLA’s new
factories in Germany and Texas sets the stage for shipment growth to accelerate in
Q2 and beyond, and we believe that supply agreements signed with mining
companies position the company to navigate battery raw materials shortages more
successfully than competitors. Additionally, we believe TSLA’s first-mover and cost
of capital advantages, as well as future demand from the rental car and commercial
truck markets, remain underappreciated by investors. / Garrett Nelson
