Next up for Elon Musk: Crucial Tesla earnings and outlook (CNN)

Tesla is expected to report record earnings after the bell Wednesday, but it might not be enough to satisfy anxious investors.

[testifying in a federal lawsuit](http://www.cnn.com/2023/01/24/business/elon-musk-funding-secured-trial-testimony/index.html) over his 2018 tweet that he had “funding secured” to take Tesla private back when it was still losing money and facing a cash crunch. “It would help if Musk were to say on the conference call he’s no longer going to sell stock.” Some of those sales came after Musk had declared on Twitter that he was done selling Tesla shares. He also believes Tesla will have to give some clarity on profit margins, given that recent price cuts will reduce the revenue it can expect on each vehicle. Fourth quarter sales left it with full-year growth of only 40%. But investors weren’t prepared for how badly it would miss that mark. And just how bad will the margins look?” said Dan Ives, tech analyst with Wedbush Securities.

US buyers are now paying $44,000 for the basic version of the Model 3, $3,000 less than they were paying in late November. Ives said he thinks a 35% growth target going forward is more realistic, given the increased competition in electric vehicles from traditional automakers.
