For context, analysts forecast 266k deliveries. That is an ~15% beat.

This could push QoQ profits up 50% from 2b to over 3b, if margins increase slightly.

Price went up 5k. Depending on supplier changes it could have been a decent margin boost. Finally starting to cost closer to the value of the car…

I am a long-term shareholder, with shares since March 2020. I have 775 of them now. Given this news I'll be a paper millionaire again this week. I say that's pretty good for a guy without a job!

Nobody really cares about predictions that go right, I guess, but I made some here on hn way back in April 2020 justifying why I was starting to go all-in on Tesla (a process I completed in January 2021 when I dumped my Square stock):

I started acquiring shares in 2018, and took delivery this week!

Congrats on getting in early! (It is still early, for anyone who feels they've missed out)

Wow congrats on being really early!
