女士们、先生们,感谢各位在线等候,欢迎参加Tesla 2020年第一季度财务业绩及问答网络直播。目前,所有参与者均处于仅收听模式。发言人陈述结束后将进行问答环节。若要在会议期间提问,您需要在电话上按星号键1。请注意,今天的会议正在录音。如果您需要任何进一步协助,请按星号键0。现在,我想把会议交给你们的发言人,先生。
第 2 段
投资者关系高级总监 Martin beocca,请开始,先生。谢谢你,Sheri,大家下午好。欢迎参加第一课2020年第一季度问答网络直播。今天我由埃隆·马斯克、Zachary Kirk Horne 和其他多位高管前往。我们的人类结果已于下午约1:00公布。
第 3 段
太平洋时间,在我们于本次网络直播相同链接发布的更新演示文稿中,本次电话会议期间,我们将讨论业务展望并作出前瞻性陈述。这些评论基于我们截至今天的预测和预期。由于多项风险和不确定性,包括我们最近向美国证券交易委员会提交的文件中提到的风险和不确定性,实际事件或结果可能存在重大差异。在今天电话会议的问答环节,请将提问限制为1个问题和1个追问。如果您想加入问题队列,请现在按星号键 1。在我们进入问答环节之前,伊冯有一些开场发言。来吧,谢谢。那么,尽管最后几周面临 mellichamp 许多挑战,T1 最终仍是一个强劲的季度。这是第1个
第 4 段
这是我们在季节性疲软的第一季度实现正的差额净净收入的时候。即使面临所有挑战,我们在推进主要产品爬坡期间也实现了20%的汽车业务毛利率,不包括监管积分。我们从中学到的是,在3年前的军事爬坡之后,毕竟我们在这里看着 LED 灯,新产品有所不同,速度更快,也更早盈利。第一季度按车型减少得更多;在第一季度,Model 3 在弗里蒙特处于前两个季度。因此,一个 Model Y 的爬坡甚至比十亿级闪耀的高猖獗更快,更令人惊讶。换句话说,我们领先于我们本来就已经领先的计划。最令人惊讶的是,Model Wire 在这个生产的书本第一季度就已经盈利了,某件事。
第 5 段
我们过去在任何产品上都没有实现过。关于 Autopilot,我们在3月向早期体验用户发布了针对交通信号灯和停车标志的新软件更新,就在上周又向所有拥有大部分 Pulsar 驾驶套件的美国客户发布了该更新。现在,图标将在每个停车标志或交通信号灯前自动停下,直到驾驶员获得继续前进的确认。耐心,再耐心,这辆电动汽车远不止这些,但我们只向你们展示我们感觉相当满意、我们认为可能会提升安全性的功能。我们目前每个月从超过100万个交叉路口收集数据。随着更多人获得更新以及更多人重新开始驾驶,这一数字将呈指数级增长,很快
第 6 段
我们每个月将从超过10亿个交叉路口收集数据。所有那些,对,所有那些确认实际上都在训练我们的神经网络,驾驶员在驾驶并采取行动时,实际上是在驾驶过程中给现实贴标签、贴标签,并让你的生活变得越来越好。我认为这是其他任何人都不具备的优势,而且我们确实比其他所有人加起来多出若干个数量级。也许这很难完全理解,你知道,这就是为什么我要说,要有一个能与 Google 竞争的搜索引擎非常困难,因为每个人始终都在用他们的搜索训练 Google。所以,当你搜索某个东西并点击一个链接时,每次这样做你都在训练 Giggle
第 7 段
任何新搜索引擎要在那些面孔上竞争都相当困难,很有意思。所以,但是那些确认,比如,嘿,滚动网络,10辆汽车将能够在无需确认的情况下驶过交叉路口,也能转弯,而且我们真的觉得,在我非常努力工作的地方,如果你有信心,到年底时,有可能从你家开到办公室,颠倒时间,并有更多干预。所以,与他的业务,我们用领先水平的字母表几乎已经可以做到这一点,我正坐在车里驾驶。那么,在另一个技术前沿方面,我们提高了 Model S 和 X 的续航里程,是的,Model S 的增幅是达到291英里,我们的腿部律师的续航里程是251英里。他说,实际上这个型号,但对于
第 8 段
这个,这个真实型号的续航里程是,是400英里,但当我们进行上一次 EPA 测试时,不幸的是,APA,我把车门开着,钥匙也留在车内,所以这辆车并在这里过夜,于是车辆实际上进入了等待驾驶员模式,并损失了2%的续航里程,因此它在测试中得到391。一旦 EPA 重新开放测试,我们就会重新测试,而且我们并不是真的有信心,我们将凭借 Model S 实现400英里或更高的续航里程,我们为莱莫尼斯清除了这一点,在过去2个月里,Model S 合成到2个月的真实续航里程一直是400英里。当然,我们不会停止,我们所寻求的是随着时间推移继续推动续航里程提升,并改善、改善操控性、加速性能以及所有那些细小的
第 9 段
让 Tesla 与众不同的细节。对于 Model Y,我们推出了一种革命性的两件式,我们正在进行水下测试,我们将在今年晚些时候制造单件铸件,意思是,本质上,车身后部的1/3被铸造成一个整体,这种尺寸和复杂程度的铸件以前从未被制造出来。事实上,甚至没有任何东西能在池塘上与这款高速公路的两件式铸件处于同等水平。所以,我们真的在推动车辆结构工程和制造的极限。我对这种方法非常兴奋,它使我们既能减轻重量、降低成本,又能改善 NVH。它基本上在各方面都更好。我们也,车型我也推出了一种革命性的新热泵,它使
第 10 段
这辆车拥有更长的续航里程。所以这个泥巴为什么拥有卓越的续航里程,你知道,与影响不相上下,乐趣略好于,我猜,Model 3,而且尽管它是一辆更大、更重的车。热泵是促成这一点的关键因素,而且它在低温驾驶时尤其出色。到目前为止,我们从已经收到该产品线的客户那里得到的反馈无一例外都是正面的,然后我们相信这款产品将成为有史以来最畅销的产品。所以,作为结论,只是看看、看看开放,是的,这是一项前瞻性陈述,我们绝对会继续全速扩大全车型产能,在 Giggle Berlin 和 Giga Shanghai,以及,以及,以及 Stern Fremont,只要他们允许我们继续
第 11 段
在中国和欧洲实现本地化生产将降低成本,他们无法削减我们的零部件,随着时间推移会更具竞争力。嗯,许多其他公司正在削减投资,而我们正相反,我们绝对是在全速推进新产品并扩大……而且我们期待在明年某个时候成为一家真正的全球制造商,在北美、中国和欧洲拥有大型工厂,年产能远超100万辆。所以有一个移植值得期待,我们迫不及待地想告诉你们将会发生什么。谢谢,谢谢。现在请扎克致开场词。是的,谢谢马丁,谢谢埃隆。我为Tesla团队上个季度取得的成就感到非常自豪。有几件事需要重点说明,并补充到……
第 12 段
埃隆刚才提到,我们成功发布、推进了 Model Y 的产能爬坡并证明其能够盈利,正如我所说,这比计划大幅提前。这是自 Model 3 和2017年以来我们的第二次大规模产品发布,也证明了我们在成本控制和产能爬坡效率方面取得的进步。很难低估这个项目在投产第一季度就证明能够盈利的重要性。上海生产的 Model 3 自去年第四季度以来利润率大幅提高,已经接近弗里蒙特生产的 Model 3。尽管我们尚未满负荷运行,同时还应对了2月初的停产,仍取得了这一成绩。我们还为路线图中的 Model 3 宣布了长续航和高性能版本,这将……
第 13 段
对中国的SPS产生积极影响。在订单率方面,我们并未感受到与第四季度末政府激励措施到期相关的太大影响。事实上,我们在季度结束时再次创下了有史以来最高的积压订单量。在这些成就的助力下,我们得以实现有史以来首次季度上的盈利。不计监管积分影响,所有产品的汽车业务毛利率依然强劲,尽管第一季度计入了与停产相关的费用。我们在影响效率以及服务和其他业务利润率方面继续取得进展。我们的能源业务也受到第一季度停工活动的影响,部署量受限。我们的第3版太阳能屋顶也出现了预期中的投产低效,这……
第 14 段
影响了整体盈利能力。正如我之前指出的,我们预计监管积分销售,也就是我们出售给其他汽车制造商的积分,通常会随着时间推移而增加。从第一季度相对于第四季度的增长中可以看出这一点。请注意,大部分积分收入并未在第一季度形成现金,而是反映在资产负债表的应收账款中。我们的自由现金流受到季度末所有产品库存暂时增加的影响,受到暂时增加的影响,这是生产和交付业务突然暂停造成的。如果没有发生这些中断,我们当时正朝着创纪录的季度交付量和强劲自由现金流迈进。哈迪亚-拉,我提到,我们继续按计划……极其重要。
第 15 段
实现我们在技术路线图上的长期计划。你正在采取继续进行这些投资所需的短期行动。上海和柏林的Model为何正按计划推进,我们在提高弗里蒙特汽车生产线以及上海Model 3的产能方面取得了进展。短期内,我们的上海工厂仍在运营,为公司贡献越来越多的现金流和利润。在弗里蒙特,我们正努力在条件允许时尽快重启生产。他们也在继续交付我们未能在第一季度末交付的车辆。尽管第一季度末车辆库存余额增加了14000辆,这对第一季度的自由现金流构成了不利因素,但对第二季度有所帮助。请注意……
第 16 段
弗里蒙特Model生产线和上海Model 3最重要的方面之一,是通过在本地生产和交付车辆,大幅改善了现金转换周期。尽管全球许多地区的销售和交付业务已经暂停,但即使我们的客户无法在下单前体验产品,我们仍在收到许多在线订单。然而,不可避免的是,弗里蒙特长时间停工将影响我们近期的财务表现,我们需要设法弄清楚能以多快的速度租用生产以达到更高水平。更广泛地说,我们仍专注于确保现金流得到适当管理。营运资本管理,尤其是原材料库存,是最重要的单一……
第 17 段
杠杆,并在此期间管理我们的现金流。Tesla 团队做得非常出色,人类。我们还采取了行动,消除或削减非关键费用和可选投资,同时继续推动整个业务提高效率。总体而言,我们已经对直至2021年的许多情景进行了建模,并仍然确信我们拥有充足的流动性,可以全面推进我们最重要的长期投资。需要指出的是,Tesla 仍是一家极其敏捷且充满活力的公司,而我们过去1年在提高成本效率和生产率方面所做的大量工作对此有所帮助;我们有能力按需要迅速调整支出和规划。所以,再次感谢 Tesla 团队在第一季度取得成功,并且
第 18 段
我们将转向问题。非常感谢。那么,我们将先回答由 Safe Technologies 汇编的机构投资者问题。机构投资者提出的第1个问题是:大多数荒凉车主尚未购买或体验 FSD,尽管大多数车辆都配备了全部必要硬件,但你们可以动用哪些杠杆来加快采用并深化你们的数据优势?例如,你们是否考虑将 FSB 作为高级订阅服务提供?我认为我们也会以订阅服务形式提供驾驶功能,会是在今年年底前后。现在,如果我应该说,如果这样做仍然有意义的话,还是可以把 FSB 作为一个选装项购买。正如你们所知,在我们看来,购买 FST 是、是对未来的投资,而且我们相信这是一项将会
第 19 段
为消费者带来回报、对消费者来说更好,而且在我看来——这个选装项是人们不会后悔购买的东西。我同意。而且从财务角度看,把你们DFS选装项的前期购买费用并入车辆贷款或租赁,每个月将是拥有它成本最低的方式,而且你还保留了其价值随时间增长的期权价值。是的,但我们确实理解,一些已经拥有或者至少拥有其车辆的客户没有预先购买那个选装项,所以这将使那些客户能够分摊SD的拥有成本,或者订阅该工具的成本。绝对如此。如果你稍后喜欢的话,从高层次来看,我们的总体目标是最大化客户幸福感曲线下的面积。这就是我们的目标,而且我们认为,你
第 20 段
知道,这是所有公司都应该努力去做的那类事情,而且这、这会带来长期价值创造。再看看媒体和忠诚度,bagasse 忠诚度。因此我们的目标始终是,等等,为其他客户做最好的事情,而且、而且我们相信,如果我们那样行事,那么他们成为客户后反过来会汇集,他们有自己的方式来到我们这里。谢谢。投资者提出的第2个问题是:钱德勒最近宣布修改其导航补贴计划,导致 Tesla 车辆失去享受补贴的资格。Tesla 在多大程度上还有空间降低在中国的制造成本,并将这些节省让利给买家,使他们能够获得补贴?是的,所以我们在降低生产成本方面正在迅速取得进展。
第 21 段
在中国,而且我们实际上很高兴在本次电话会议上宣布,我们基本上会在明天中国时间下调标准续航版Model 3的价格,也就是加州时间后天,但在中国时间是明天,并使其净价低于补贴上限。我们相信,那仍会是一辆带来良好核心情感的汽车。是的,而且关于问题中的制造成本部分,上海生产的车辆在p1的成本已经低于在弗里蒙特生产Model 3的成本,而且仍有大量降低成本的机会。因此,更高产量带来的固定成本吸收,这些产量增长正在第二季度发生,并将在今年余下时间持续。我们在供应方面尚未完全实现本地化。
第 22 段
链条方面还没有完成,所以,虽然供应链有很大一部分已实现本地化,但还没有完成,那里还有更多机会。因此,我们会继续降低价格并扩大毛利率,降低成本并扩大毛利率,即使车辆的价格出现这次下调,不过埃隆提到了车辆的标准续航版本。谢谢。下一个问题是:他们成长曾经说过,伟大的公司会因危机而改善。最好不要在哪些方面已经改善,或者预计会在走出代码19之后改善?嗯,就是仔细审视我们的成本结构,并提高公司效率,这是人在危机中总是必须做的事情,而且,你知道,思考我们的核心信念以及我们想做什么,而我们,你知道,关心的结论是,正确的、正确的
第 23 段
浪潮实际上是继续快速扩张,继续投资于未来、投资于你们的技术,我们会知道这是有风险的,而且我们已经和一些类似的投资者谈过,他们也支持这种做法。所以,你知道,我认为这完全是一个不确定的,你知道,如果你的头有点像一条颠簸的道路,但我认为长期前景极其良好。各位,想把理想放到关键项目的优先级排序上,这会使我们能够更高效、更迅速地执行这些项目,我认为这非常好。我要补充的另一点是,Tesla 的愿景一直都是改善客户体验,并且、并且尽可能使其数字化。是的,请提供无接触交付、移动服务。销售的这一部分一直是我们
第 24 段
我们一直非常关注这件事,并取得了很大进展。是的,房子是唯一一款你确实可以在手机上用不到5分钟订购的汽车。你可以订购一辆汽车,让它送到家门口,所有文件和一切都已办妥。就是这样,毫不费力,许多客户都这样做,而且他们确实在这样做。事实上,其中很大一部分只是设法向人们传达,这是你可以做到的事情,因为通常对大多数人而言,买车并不完全是一件涂过漆的事。他们宁愿去看牙医,也不愿买一辆新车。是的,事实上我的牙医就在我身边,但这确实是一件相当费力的事,你知道,在典型的购车零售体验中,对人们来说,这比、比做根管治疗还要痛苦,然后
第 25 段
你不得不说,好吧,而对于 Tesla 来说,这完全就像在 Apple App Store 上订购某样东西,或在亚马逊上游览某样东西一样简单,而且只是口红是。是的,我在5分钟,如果你真的进行得很快,我认为你大概可以在90秒内订购一辆汽车。谢谢。机构投资者提出的下一个问题是:你们能否简要预览一下电池日,大致重点介绍测试寿命正在陈述哪些步骤,以提高自身能量密度和时间寿命或推出?是的,所以我们只是,我们今天没有预先透露。我们是当我们一直有为、为那一天准备的令人兴奋的消息。会有很多令人兴奋的消息可以讲,我认为这将是英特尔历史上最令人兴奋的日子之一,而我们只是在努力忘记正确的时机。
第 26 段
对于那件事,我们认为合适的时间可能会是5月的,你们,恰当地说是第3周,这并没有给出一个有趣的日期,但我们认为那可能是合适的时间,而且取决于我们获准做什么,它要么会在加利福尼亚州,要么会在得克萨斯州。[音乐] 好的,那么,来自传统投资者的最后一个问题,能否请你们介绍一下全自动驾驶开发以及商业、那个商业化方面的进展?到目前为止,你们已经确认了多少收入?嗯,所以全锯战略在财务方面有几件事,因此目前在北美,它作为一个选装项以7,000美元出售。我们将其中大约一半确认为收入,而另一半则计入递延收入,那与将会
第 27 段
随时间发布的功能相关。递延收入余额在继续增长,略高于6亿美元,因此随着我们逐步发布功能,在每个季度末,我们会看一看已经发布了哪些功能、相关价值是多少,然后我们就可以把那部分从递延收入转入该季度的财务数据。然后对于之后的车辆,一旦功能发布,我们就可以确认那笔收入,因此我们会减少递延金额,并可以在当期确认那笔收入。所以这是我们认为随着时间推移将成为最强大的毛利率杠杆之一的东西。它有一个功能,最甜美的机器人,绝对是。此外,那里也有一股尚未开发的潜力之流,但外面的那一小部分可以升级以开启 Autopilot,
第 28 段
基本上让自动驾驶变得可接受,而那会使你的,只是重要的方法成为可能,或者正如我们之前谈到的,只是,你知道,到年底时以订阅形式提供。所以,但那、那里就是有大量尚未开发的潜力,而且很显然那并不在递延收入这一项中。肯定还有大量递延潜力,我们认为其中很大一部分是,比如太可能达到胁迫。谢谢,现在我们来回答散户投资者的问题。问题1:埃隆·马斯克过去曾提到 Tesla 50%的复合年增长目标。这仍然符合 Tesla 未来5至10年的雄心吗?这将意味着2025年达到400万辆,2030年超过2,000万辆。
第 29 段
他是更现实目标的40%。嗯,宏观形势将会怎样总是很难预测。你可以,很少有人会预测到另一个,你知道,但出乎意料,是的,那个覆盖了并随之出现的回旋重击,算是1小时后就来了。所以我认为,在没有某种、某种大规模不可抗力事件的情况下,而且要相当大规模,我认为50%是、是可能的数字。有可能是40%。如果低于40%,我会非常震惊,即使有不可抗力,除非第3次世界大战。好的,散户投资者的下一个问题:你们什么时候会宣布下一座 Giga?未来5年,UF 客户会有多少个 gig us?我认为我们可能最快会在1个月内宣布下一个 gig app。我们做出的仍然是
第 30 段
最快下个月。低摩擦只是说说而已,但可能会发生什么,对大多数什么而言,也许在3个月内,也可能在1个月内,而那会在美。
第 31 段
国。
第 32 段
所以,至于5年后会有多少座,我不,我我现在不知道那个数字会是多少。我猜,会比现在更多,但我不确定5年后确切会是多少,不过,所以数量比现在多。我们的 Giga 已经变得更大,是的,而更大的车辆因为是寒冷恐怖而尚未,也有多种产品。所以,你知道,我们最终可能建造的 kata 工厂绝对数量可能会更少,但每一座都会更大。这是基于这样一种信念:把尽可能多的东西以及类似的产品线放在同一屋檐下,并在一个设施中进行尽可能多的垂直整合,会带来显著的效率。是的,谢谢。下一个问题是:能否介绍一下太阳能屋顶 ram 的最新情况?你们目前每周能够
第 33 段
每周安装量是多少,你们到 2021 年底连续 4 周的安装目标是多少?实际上,在被覆盖之前,我们的太阳能屋顶正形成拉斯玛势头,而那次覆盖基本上让我们停摆了,既无法专门去安装抗体,也无法取得部门办公室要求的许可证,而且你知道,有 11 个地方实施了居家避难,所以生锈的东西无法击中;如果你拿不到许可证,也无法实际去做,那就完全不可能。但我认为太阳能屋顶的长期趋势极其良好,而且我有信心,可以说在接下来,你知道,我知道你在那里,也许甚至到年底,我们应该能以每周 1000 个的速度安装。这不是在隆冬之类的时候,而是把季节性考虑在内。
第 34 段
我喜欢昏迷季节性,我们,很难在被雪和冰覆盖的屋顶上安装,有点像,你知道,比如春季。我认为是安装木材,这是困难的部分。实际上,我们已经证明有能力达到每周1000个,这是太阳能教室已经达到的首次放血率。所以那不是问题,那不是问题;但要建立安装团队,建立第三方渠道安装商、里奇兰屋顶行业安装商,而且在内部,我们希望至少有1000、1000个太阳能屋顶和安装团队,而且每栋房子休息1周,完成一次安装不少于1周,这就让你达到每周安装1000个屋顶。我们看到,如果需求,需求良好,生产良好,尤其好的是安装方面,以及
第 35 段
然后《论语》它也在建立、建立培训,让合适的一批多元化屋顶行业公司也能安装太阳能。如果那样,我认为会扩展,大师级扩展,你有我的,远远超过每周1000个。我们还看到北美以外有很多兴趣,所以你会预期这是一款国际性产品,而且实际上,说到这里让我想起了中国对天窗的兴趣。所以我们谈过,这会是一款非常重要的产品,随着时间推移会帮助我。谢谢。下一个问题是:能否详细说明 Tesla 进入住宅和/或商业 HVAC 市场的计划?能否介绍一下你们的系统将如何运作的基本情况?也会考虑热泵热水器市场吗?嗯,正如我所说的
第 36 段
在 Twitter 上,我个人对于打造一套厉害的 HVAC 系统感到极其兴奋,它还会有,你知道,某种医院级颗粒过滤,基本上是 HEPA 过滤,可以滤除病毒、细菌、花粉、真菌,还能中和酸性、碱性气体,而且安静、高效。顺便说一下,这些都是我们已经在汽车上实现的东西。事实上,我会爱你意识到,但 Model 是下一个,所以世界上仅有的拥有医院手术室编织物、但有 HEPA 过滤器牛棚的汽车,它们非常大。因此,在我们的汽车里,我们可以应用一个低得离谱的颗粒营地,而里安·怀有大概 Merv 16 或 15 的人用过滤器。是的,所以它就像 Model 韩国电线燃烧器一样,它们绝不是懒散之辈,多边机构是道路。
第 37 段
据我所知,它们比其他任何汽车都好得多。它们和可能的手术室一样好,但它们非常好,比其他任何普通汽车都好得多。非常持续地改进,文化无论如何是学来的。我想,这些实际上甚至在普通的日常生活中也会对健康产生很大影响,就是减少颗粒数量,而且,是的,它会影响过敏,也会影响某些东西。所以其实它们的质量极其重要。是的,在非编码情形下极其重要。所以把所有那些属于臀肌的东西拿来,应用到你家的 HVAC 上,它会成为一套硬膜外 HVAC,只会更加令人兴奋。而且,而且 NH,如果你在冷凝水,我的较小目标是让它成为一种水源。
第 38 段
如果你有水,你或许就可以加热这些水,同时也拥有热水器。是的,如果你需要,它也不会吃掉热源,而不是下降。所以当室外真的很冷时,是的,或者反过来。因此,那些都是选项,它可能会被作为一款产品持有。然后,我们只需要等到拥有几十个可以分开的东西,看看我们是否能在汽车前线欢呼。因此,我们会确保在这里大量使用火,用于齿轮产品,包括 Cybertruck、Semi、公路附近的 Roadster,并在世界各地建造超级工厂;这是一个可能性,一个 Model Y 和照片飞行员,以及太阳能屋顶,还有我要技术。是的,轻微电力会给电力、电力包、巨型包供电。我们看到固定式储能的需求非常巨大,超过,超过
第 39 段
我们至少在2020年能够供应的数量。谢谢。散户提出的最后一个问题是:那个左边什么时候会开始收购公用事业公司,比如号角、他们会电力储备和 Moss Landing,而不是向它们出售电池储能?此外,Tesla 收购更大的客户并改造它们是否有意义?嗯,我们其实还没有认真考虑过,但也并非不可能,不过我们的大脑已经装满了。抱歉,先生,我不是因为这个问题责怪你。你知道,我们的总目标是帮助加速可持续能源时代的到来,而我们要应对的,以及其中的3个要素,是可持续发电,然后你最好把发电站储存在储能中,然后你最好拥有电动交通。所以,我们没有什么具体的市场
第 40 段
份额目标或类似的东西;只是为了认同我们能够加速他们的养老金可持续能源。我们认为这从根本上对世界有益,而且我们希望尽可能快地举杯,但这并不是,你把它变成市场份额增长,你知道,它本身就是黄金;只是,你知道,这件事在世界各地发生得有点快,几乎没有做到。谢谢,非常感谢。我想现在我们可以转到分析师提问。谢谢。第一个问题来自 Morgan Stanley 的 Adam Jonas,请开始。谢谢大家。我希望每个人都安全、健康。我有 1 个问题和 1 个追问,而且我要指出,我以前做过根管治疗,我同意,伊兰,它没有买车那么痛苦。我是说,确实如此。是的,没错,这实际上是个大问题。
第 41 段
这是一个重大决定。是的,不同的谈话。对你来说是完全准确的诗句。有没有关于公司截至 4 月底流动性的实时更新?有些公司,你知道,考虑到当前情况,特意提供了一点这方面的说明。只是想给你机会谈谈这个。我还要追问。是的,这是个合理的问题。我没有任何额外说明可以提供,所以是 8。
第 42 段
第一季度末有 10亿现金及现金等价物。正如我在开场发言中提到的,我们正在非常密切地管理它。我们的车辆库存确实有所增加,因为有些车辆在第一季度末无法交付。因此,我们正在推进把这些车辆交付到 4 月,这对流动性有帮助。而且,你知道,在审视流动性时,我们一直在看未来 18 个月,这种流动性展望有起有落。你知道,目前由于我们没有生产,我们仍有第一季度的应付款需要付清;但几个月后,我们会很快处理完这些,之后应付款会出现一个空档,因为没有任何零部件进来。所以它确实会略有起伏,但是,你知道,在审视这个
第 43 段
长期时间跨度时,也就是我们目前管理它的方式,我们对公司的负债状况感到相当放心。是的,是的,我们有点担心我将能够恢复旧金山湾区的生产,这应该被认定为一项严重风险。而且,你知道,我们现在其实只有要调用的工厂,1 座在上海,1 座在该地区,而博里亚生产了我们绝大多数汽车、所有 SMX、绝大多数 3,以及全部“为什么”。所以,延长货架更换,或者我可能会把它称为违背人们所有宪法权利、强行把人囚禁在家中,在我看来,以可怕且错误的方式提升人们的自由,而不是我的人民来到美国或建设了这个国家。
第 44 段
什么,这个,抱歉,人们表现出了伟大的制度愤怒。所以这将造成巨大伤害,不仅是流苏,许多公司也是如此。尽管 Tesla 会挺过这场风暴,但许多小公司不会,而所有人的一切,如果你愿意,为整个人生工作、反对将要得到的,正被实时摧毁。而且你会有许多供应商,而我正有许多蜘蛛处境极其艰难,尤其是小型的那些;这只是在给许多人造成大量痛苦。关于这一点,你提到了那些献出生命建设这个国家的人。我在这件事上对你的过错,人们已经把美国经济的状况与 1930 年代初做了许多比较,你知道,当时 Roosevelt 开始了一系列
第 45 段
基础设施项目中的新政,针对第二次世界大战后,当 Eisenhower 启动了美。
第 46 段
国。
第 47 段
《公路法案》,以及肯尼迪启动阿波罗计划时,你可以说它显然受到了冷战的影响,而你也从中受益,我们的太空计划也从中受益。在这次电话会议上,除了你对居家避难令的看法之外,你想向美国立法者传达什么信息?从更长期的角度思考,在走出这场危机之际,你想向美国立法者传达什么信息,特别是围绕基础设施,以及与纳税人合作支持可持续交通和可再生能源的机会?我想知道,你是否将此视为一个机会,让这场危机以及所有的损失和逝去的生命不至于白白牺牲。谢谢。我认为,现在早就该投资这个国家的基础设施了。我们有很多破败的公路和桥梁
第 48 段
而且,而且坦率地说,你知道,当我访问中国时,我看到他们的基础设施比我们的好得多。这很棒。欧洲曾有更好的基础设施。这、这、这真的相当令人难过,但美。
第 49 段
国。
第 50 段
的基础设施尤其如此,公路上有空洞,这就是它如今的状况,而我们的机场在很多情况下都令人难堪。所以,而且这不仅仅是钱的问题,也是鱼的问题;只要我们在这些事情上花很多钱,但我们从中、从中得到了什么?所以,你知道,而且是的,我们确实需要去掉什么是未来的交通,而不是过去一年的展示。你知道,如果这是在1928年,你是想投资蒸汽机,还是英特尔骚乱边缘,显然是最多很多的发动机。所以,是的,这些正是思考未来的时候,嗯,也要问,你知道,我确实,这是侵犯人们权利的正确做法吗,但这就是、就是眼下正在发生的事情。我认为银行,但人们正在
第 51 段
会对此非常愤怒,而且确实非常愤怒,尊重某人应该,如果有人想待在家里,那很好,应该允许他们待在家里,起初不应被迫离开,但如果说他们不能离开自己的家,否则就会被逮捕,这就是,这就是法西斯主义,这不是民主,这不是自由,把人们的上帝所做的自由还给他们,好,请进入下一个问题。谢谢。我们的下一个问题来自德意志银行的 Emmanuel Rosner,请提问。嗨,晚上好。关于 Model Y 的问题,或者你们能否再详细说明一下,在这么低的产量下毛利率就已经为正的驱动因素,其中有多少是与 Model
第 52 段
3 的犯罪性有关,还有哪些因素是我们应该考虑的,以及这对 Malwa 最终毛利率的放大器意味着什么?好的,当然。关于为什么会这样,有几点想法。第一,它的平均售价确实更高,所以从收入端看,它的平均售价高于 Model 3,而且我们一开始交付的是平均售价较高版本的汽车,所以我们最初交付的是高性能版,因此这有助于形成一部分利润率;随着更多版本推出,以及我们的产品组合变得更加稳定,这一因素会随时间下降,但这与我们两年前推出 Model 3 这款产品时的平均售价趋势类似。在成本端,我想你提到了这本书中的几点,共通性非常
第 53 段
重要,除此之外,制造流程也与 Model 3 非常相似,直到我们在这方面拥有经验,包括监控弗里蒙特,然后也包括上海,而且这里有一座现有工厂、现有员工队伍和知识也有所帮助,所以支持产品发布的生态系统已经存在。继续降低车辆成本的机会仍然很多。我们在第一季度制造的车辆数量,相对于 Waldo 会从汽车中取走医院并让公园变得更好的地方来说,是,是相当有限的,所以这是分离,它不是让公园变得更糟,任何人都可以从一辆车中削减成本、让它变得更糟,我们想在整辆车上全面削减,你出去了,如何让它
第 54 段
更轻、更简单,所以就是让汽车逐步改进,同时成本也逐步降低。但你知道,对于4座或5座的 Model Y,我们简要地,我们预计,你知道,一旦我们达到1万或2万辆之类的路径,那辆车的边际成本将与 Model 3 相当。女士们、先生们,请稍候,会议将很快恢复,谢谢。因为你们重新上线了。嗨,抱歉,我们不知为何断线了。嗯,刚才的问题是什么?好的,现在请进入下一个问题。下一个问题来自 Van Keller,他在那里,请提问。嘿,非常感谢。我只是想问一下 Z 电芯战略,你知道,在里诺,你们显然已经整合
第 55 段
了,但我想你们在上海采购电芯,而我们认为在德国也是如此,那么你们如何看待未来的发展,然后,所以他们刚刚谈到了先生。
第 56 段
Lazaro,而那道边界菜算是加入董事会的流程,谢谢。好的,从销售角度看,你知道,无论是我们过去还是未来的所有合作伙伴,我们只是在寻找有竞争力的技术和有竞争力的价格。我想我们会在电池投资者日更多地谈到这一点,比如我们如何处理这一切,不过,不过是的,我的意思是,我们并没有把自己限制在只追求一种模式,我们只是努力寻找对产品而言最好的方案,他们能够,而且从长远来看。然后有一个关于董事会的问题,所以我没能,我们可以在这里听到问题的第二部分。是的,那是放弃先生。
第 57 段
随着,你知道,更好地进入董事会以及背后的流程,他带来了什么?哦,我想我们都需要一位英雄,而且显然解放在全球最高层次的投资方面拥有丰富经验,还有一些出生时的同事以及一家养老基金,这是世界上规模最大的任何类型的资助者,而且你知道,总的来说,这些年来的谈话就是 Charlie,我想我是在争论他如何不同意全部3个市场的运作方式,以及他认为改革是否存在错误,只是,这就像孩子们,只是试图强行解决任何关于如何让未来变得更好的问题,而 Meshech 与我对环境的看法一致,是一位非常明智、聪明的人,能为董事会带来很多东西,而且我认为普遍被认可为
第 58 段
这种情况,我发现很多人……我想,我想醒来进入与 Panasonic 的关系,不过也许只是,你知道,这种关系现在进展如何?在相当大的神经学董事会上,是否有任何贪婪贯穿其中?谢谢。嗯,我认为这就是和前一晚的关系更好。我的意思是,我和这里过去的夜晚关系很好。我们,我们经常一对一见面,一直交谈。你知道,所以这段关系很牢固,并为董事会带来更广泛的全球战略视角。谢谢,请进入下一个问题。我们的下一个问题来自 Loup Ventures 的 Jean Monster,请提问。祝贺你们取得进展,而你只谈到了年底前实现完全自动驾驶。我希望你能详细讲讲推出
第 59 段
Tesla Network 应用的战略,以及在进入机器人出租车阶段之前它会是什么样子。你们会随着时间推移,逐步用具备自动驾驶能力的路线接管人类路线吗?还是你认为它会如何展开?嗯,它基本上会像过去那样展开,也就是我们会发布更多、更多功能。你知道,在发布任何功能之前,它都会经过广泛测试。当然,我们会运行它。我们有一支模拟团队,对现实世界进行了非常好的模拟,所以我们会让任何代码改动通过一系列测试模拟。当我们进行全球评级刷时,实际上,我是全球“创造你”团队中的一员,我们会在现实世界中测试发布版本。现实世界,现实世界糟糕的差异,更酷的世界,在模拟中
第 60 段
这就是,这些差异非常多,因为世界非常复杂而且警觉。然后我们会把它发布给公司内部一小群国会 beta 测试人员,再发布给包括公司外部人员以及抢先体验的 Tesla 车主在内的更大受众,最后再进行更广泛的发布。所以这些就是这些东西要经历的许多阶段。因此,当某个东西准备在美国广泛发布时,它已经去了所有第一阶段,而处于、处于非常早期阶段的软件比人们所说的要先进得多。所以它只是要经历一个严格而漫长的过程。因此从本质上说,我们需要弄清楚,你可以把复杂路口做得非常好,把路口转弯之类的方面做得非常好,而且
第 61 段
看起来它会是停车场里的商场,或办公园区,或特别活动,而且它正在运作活动之类的东西,等那些最终回来时。我们有这些双重对立,或者在高处之后,但它会尝试一段时间。我觉得 Autopilot 工程团队完成了几个,一个有才华的团队,而我确实深度参与团队,所以我们每周交谈、每周见面,运行你的现金,或者出席实体会议,这很糟糕。所以我对我们在头顶处于什么位置有一个很好的战斗理解,而且我觉得我们拥有特兰斯梅塔势头,我们会拥有那种在一段时间内正确、酷的功能,到年底时任何人。现在,在该功能发布后,这把手枪还有另一条带子,也就是在它一旦曾经
第 62 段
发布,以实现拉停驾驶,看进鱼鞭,它由驾驶员监督,然后我们不断大幅提高可靠性,直到它不再需要驾驶员监督。我们会向监管机构提供大量数据,向他们展示情况是什么,然后大概是监管机构的,也就是它在哪个司法管辖区,正在为能够在车内没有人类的情况下行驶的完全自动驾驶汽车进行审批。显然,摆在我们面前的是恐惧准确性这一监管审批流程,因为它不在我们掌控之中。但进展会……我忘了关于这个项目的事;总结一下,我们希望在年底前忘记车主某种程度的完全自动驾驶,然后在明年上半年某个时候推出有人在环路中的 Tessai Network 应用。
第 63 段
那会是整个,嗯哼,做起来像是,等等,转向,汽车在没有第1个……最初有一个人、一个人观察的情况下行驶,那会是在 Tesla 网络中,但那是在 2021 年年初,是整个……只是,我只是希望……我会说,那可能是一个公平的描述。好的,然后,你知道,算是把它推进到最终阶段,也就是 Robo 出租车阶段,有什么高层次的想法吗?我明白监管是一个巨大的未知数,但如果你要猜一下,我们会从哪里开始推进某种 Robo 出租车?嗯,我认为,我认为在我看来这相当有可能,Gannicus,这一点上可能是错的,正如你假设的那样,我们有些方面领先,有些方面落后,因为当我……当我……当我给出……当我给出一个猜测时,我给出的就是那个猜测,但是
第 64 段
我认为这会是可能的中点,而不是一个留有大量余量的点;如果这不是一个分布,我给你的是第 50 百分位,而不是几个 Sigma,你知道,乐观或悲观。所以那自然意味着至少没有预测会是错的,也有正确的,什么可能是光明的,但或者被……是的,但在某些情况下是几周到几个月,在某些情况下是几年,嗯,但因为我说过会成真的一切确实都成真了,它可能来得太晚,但确实成真了,所以守时不是我的强项,而我最终总会兑现。所以,我的意思是,我认为明年我们可能会看到橡胶出租车随 Network feet 投入运营,none nor mark 将会……谢谢。我们进入最后一个问题吧。最后一个问题将来自
第 65 段
来自 room with new Street 的 Pierre,请讲。嘿,感谢回答我的问题。首先是一个关于毛利率以及你们第一季度亮眼表现的问题。所以有 3 个变动部分,它们当然是从债权人那里赢得的,mode ly 正在爬坡,即使它实现了盈亏平衡,它在一定程度上拉低了平均成本利润率,当然你们还有像 frenum 在本季度最后一周被关闭、停工。我可能是这个办公室里的一个额外人员。所以当我看剔除这个变动部分后毛利率如何环比演变时,我说,比如你们的汽车业务毛利率环比上升了大约几个百分点。所以我想跟你们确认一下,这个估算是否合理,然后我还有一个关于储能的后续问题。谢谢。是的,我认为这 3 件事
第 66 段
你提到过,这里要听清完整的问题有点困难,因为我在房间里的网络有点问题。好吧,我会尽力回答。所以,当我们审视利润率时,我们确实会像你们那样做一个致敬信用额,所以我认同这一模型;产能爬坡拉低了整体毛利率,我也认同这一点。所以它低于整体平均水平,而随着时间推移,这会有所提高;上海和弗里蒙特的停工及效率问题也拖累了利润率。但上海的利润率同样低于平均水平,尽管它正在快速提高、接近 Model 3,但仍然低于平均水平。所以,我认为你的问题想表达的是,如果剔除这些因素,毛利率是否会环比提高。
第 67 段
我没有专门计算过这一点,但我认为你的直觉是对的。正如我提到的,我们看到各方面的毛利率都很强劲,尤其是 FNX 最差的利润率在继续改善。但尽管那里的销量略低、固定成本限制更高,在我们已投产产品的 ASP 登录和 Macross 降本方面都取得了良好进展。我认为,这也体现了毛利润贡献对公司的力量:一旦我们度过这些产能爬坡的低效阶段,让它们重新启动并运行,提高产能,从而能够摊薄固定成本,并继续推进产品降本,我们对此个人感到非常乐观。谢谢,我还有一张关于能源的优惠券。
第 68 段
储能,如果你能听清我的话。我想,比如,我记不清了,我想从我最初几天在课程上听你讲话时起,你就一直提到,储能需求总是在超过供应,你们拥有更多订单,而且你们能够生产。所以我在想,该业务在某个时候会出现、应该会出现一个拐点,而这将由你们增加更多制造产能,比如电池制造产能的能力所驱动。从宏观层面看,你们如何从时间表角度看待这个拐点?从时间表角度来说,我认为我们一直在与合作伙伴以及内部共同推进,并研究如何从根本上降低新电芯产能的投资成本,因为
第 69 段
当你看一辆汽车、一款车辆产品时,你知道,车里除了电芯之外还有很多东西。当你看一个储能项目产品时,它实际上就只是电芯。因此,要真正发展储能业务,关键全在于销售业务。所以,这就是我们一直专注的方向。而且我认为,是的,不透露太多,但我们会把这列为在电池与投资者日上要讨论的事项之一,也就是我们如何专注于此;而当我们只把它放到我们想要的位置时,扩大这项业务的规模就会容易得多。非常感谢你们提出的所有精彩问题。遗憾的是,我们今天只有这么多时间了,我们将在 3 个月后再次与你们交流。非常感谢,祝你们今天愉快。好吧。

女士们、先生们,今天的电话会议到此结束。感谢各位参与。现在可以断开连接了。
Paragraph 1
ladies and gentlemen thank you for standing by and welcome to Tesla's q1 2020 financial results and Q&A webcast at this time all participants are in a listen-only mode after the speaker presentation there will be a question and answer session to ask a question during the session you will need to press star 1 on your telephone please be advised that today's conference is being recorded if you require any further assistance please press star 0 I would now like to turn the conference over to your speaker mr.
Paragraph 2
Martin beocca senior director for investor relations please go ahead sir Thank You Sheri and good afternoon everyone welcome to the first class first quarter 2020 Q&A webcast I'm going today by Elon Musk Zachary Kirk Horne and a number of other executives our human results were announced at about 1:00 p. m.
Paragraph 3
Pacific time in the update deck we publish at the same link as this webcast during this call we'll discuss our business outlook and make forward-looking statements these comments are based on our predictions and expectations as of today actual events or results could differ materially due to a number of risks and uncertainties including those mentioned in our most recent filings with the SEC during the question and answer portion of today's call please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up please press star 1 now if you would like to join the question queue before we jump into Q&A Yvonne has some opening remarks come on thank you so t1 ended up being a strong quarter despite mellichamp many challenges in the final few weeks this was the first
Paragraph 4
time we have achieved positive gap net net income in a seasonally weak first quarter even with all the challenges we achieved a 20% automotive gross margin excluding regulatory credits while ramping to major products what we've learned from this is that we watched LED light here after all after the military ramp from 3 years ago a new products different faster and become profitable sooner the q1 reduce more model wise in the first quarter the model 3 is in Fremont in the first two quarters thus one model y ramp has been even faster than the giga shine high rampant more surprisingly in other words we're ahead of the schedule that we were ahead of already most surprisingly model wire was profitable already in this book first quarter of production something
Paragraph 5
we haven't achieved for any product in the past regarding autopilot we released a new software update for traffic lights and stop signs to early access users in March and to all US customers with most of the pulsar driving package just last week icons will now automatically stop at each stop sign or traffic lights until the driver gets a confirmation to proceed patience and patience for the car electric vehicle with much more than this but we are your only exposing functionality that we feel quite good about where we feel that it is probably safety improvement we are we are collecting data from over a million intersections every month at this point this one will grow exponentially as more people get the update and as more people start driving again sooner
Paragraph 6
we'll be collecting data from over billion intersections per month all of those right all of those confirmations are training our neural net essentially the the driver when driving and taking action is effectively labeling with labeling reality as they drive and making your life better and better I think this was an advantage that no one else has with and we're quite literally orders of magnitude more and everyone else combined maybe this was difficult to to fully appreciate you know it's the reason I'd say it's very difficult to have a search engine that competes with Google because everyone is training Google all the time with this with what their searches so when you search on something and you click on a link your training giggle every time you do
Paragraph 7
that it's pretty difficult funny any new search engine to compete on that faces so but what so all those confirmations like hey and roll net 10 cars will be able to drive through an intersection without a confirmation as well as to make turns and it and we really feel where I've worked really hard work if you're confident that were possible to do a drive from your home to your office inverse the time with more interventions by the end of the year so the business with his we can almost do this already with the leading-edge alphabet I'm driving in the car so see on another technology front the front we increased the range of Model S and X yeah gain was time to 291 miles for Model S and 251 miles from our legs attorney said that actually the model but for
Paragraph 8
the the real model is range and is is 400 miles but when we did the last EPA test unfortunately APA I left the car door open and the keys in the car so the car and ended this overnight and so the car actually what went into waiting for driver mode and lost 2% of its range and as a result it had at 391 a test as soon as the EPA reopens for testing will redo the test and we're not really confident what we will achieve a 400 mile or greater range with the Model S which we cleared for the lemonis that for the past two months the true range of the Model S composite to two months and has been 400 miles and of course we're not stopping our looking for is continue pushing for improve range over time and improving improving handling acceleration and all the little
Paragraph 9
details that make a Tesla special for model why with we introduced a revolutionary two-piece we're underwater testing that we're going to be making a single piece casting later this year meaning like essentially the rear third of the body is cast into a single piece which is got no casting of the size of complexity as I haven't been done before in fact there isn't it even anything that was on the pond par with the two-piece casting for the motorway so we're really pushing the envelope on the vehicle structural engineering and manufacturing I'm very excited about this approach allows us to reduce both of the weight the cost and improve NVH it's better in every way essentially we also model I also introduced a revolutionary new heat pump which allows the
Paragraph 10
car to have a higher range so what the mud why has remarkable range you know on par with the impacts the fun is slightly better than I guess the model 3 and just despite being a bigger car that weighs more and the heat pump is a key contributor to that and it is especially excellent at low temperature driving so and the feedback we're getting from customers who have received the model line thus far has been universally positive and then we're confident this product will be a best selling product ever so a conclusion and just to look at looking at open yes this is a looking statement we we are absolutely continuing our model wide capacity expansion at full speed at both giggle Berlin and Giga Shanghai and and and Stern Fremont when they will let us continue
Paragraph 11
localized production in China and in Europe will bring the cost down they can't cut our parts even more competitive over time well many other companies are cutting back on investment we are doing the opposite we're absolutely pedal to the metal on new products and expanding the and we were looking forward to being in some time next year a truly global manufacturer with major factories in North America China and Europe and a capacity of well over a million units a year so there's a transplant to look forward to and we can't wait to tell you what's gonna happen thank you thank you and now to Zacks opening remarks yes thanks Martin thanks Elon I'm very proud of the accomplishments of the Tesla team this past quarter a few things to highlight and add to what
Paragraph 12
Elon just mentioned we successfully launched ramp and demonstrated profitability at the model Y as the I mentioned significantly ahead of schedule this is our second large-scale product launch since model 3 and 2017 and it's evidence to the progress we've made on cost control and ramp efficiency it's hard to understate the significance of demonstrating profitability of this program in its first quarter of production our shanghai model 3 margins improved dramatically since q4 of last year nearing equivalence of model threes built in Fremont this is despite not yet running at full capacity while also managing through the production shutdown in early February we also announced a long range and performance variant of the model 3 for our roadmap which will
Paragraph 13
positively impact a SPS in China on order rates we did not experience much of an impact related to the expiration of government incentives at the end of q4 in fact we exited the quarter with our highest ever backlog yet again aided by these accomplishments we're able to achieve our first ever q on profit automotive gross margin excluding the impact of regulatory credits remain strong for all products despite charges taken in q1 associated with production downtime we continue to make progress on effects efficiency as well as our service and other margins our energy business was impacted as well by shut down activities in q1 limiting deployments we also experienced expected launch inefficiencies associated with our third version of the solar roof which
Paragraph 14
impacted overall profitability as I've noted before we expect regulatory credit sales which are credits we sell to other carmakers to generally increase with time this can be seen by the increase from q1 relativity q4 and note that most of the credit revenue did not contribute to cash in q1 and it's reflected when the accounts receivable on the balance sheet our free cash flows were impacted by the temporary by the temporary increase in end of quarter inventory for all our products resulting from the abrupt suspension of production and delivery operations have these up interruptions not occurred we were pacing towards a record quarter of deliveries in strong free cash flows hadiyyah-lah I mentioned it is extremely important that we remain on track to
Paragraph 15
achieve our long term plans on technology roadmap you're taking the near term actions required to continue those investments model why in Shanghai and Berlin are proceeding as planned and we're making progress on improving capacity from auto line Freemont in model 3 in Shanghai in the near term our Shanghai Factory remains operational contributing an increasing level of cash flows and profitability to the company in Fremont were working towards restarting production as soon as that's possible they're also continuing to deliver cars that we were unable to deliver at the end of the first quarter while vehicle inventory balance increased by fourteen thousand units at the end of q1 which was a headwind to free cash flows in q1 but it's helpful in q2 note
Paragraph 16
that one of the most important aspects of model line Fremont and model 3 in Shanghai is the dramatically improved cash conversion cycle by locally producing and delivering vehicles while sales and delivery operations have paused in many areas of the world we are still receiving many online orders despite inability for our customers to experience the product prior to ordering however unavoidably the extended shutdown in Fremont will have an impact on our near-term financial performance and we will need to work through how quickly we'll be able to rent production to higher levels more broadly we remain focused on ensuring our cash flows are managed appropriately working capital management in particular raw material inventory is the single most important
Paragraph 17
lever and managing our cash flows during this time the tesla team has done a great job human we've also taken actions to eliminate or reduce non-critical expenses and optional investments while continuing to drive efficiencies throughout the business overall we've modeled many scenarios into 2021 and remain comfortable that we have sufficient liquidity to proceed fully with our most important long-term investments it's important to note that Tesla remains an extremely agile and dynamic company and this is aided by the substantial work we've done over the last year to improve our cost efficiency and productivity and we have the ability to quickly adjust our spending and planning as required so thank you again for to the Tesla team for success in q1 and
Paragraph 18
we will turn to question thank you very much so we'll take the first questions from institutional investors compiled by safe technologies with the first question from institutional investor is most desolate owners have yet to purchase or experience FSD and despite most vehicles having all the necessary hardware what levers could you pull to accelerate adoption and deepen your data advantage for example if you consider offering FSB as a premium subscription I think we will offer also driving as a subscription service better will be towards the end of this year now if I should say if it will still make sense as as to buy FSB as an option as you know in our view it by FST is is an investment in the future and we're confident that it is investment that will
Paragraph 19
pay off to the consumer into a better for the consumer and in my opinion - the option is something people will not regret doing I agree and financially rolling the upfront purchase of your DFS the option into a loan in the vehicle or lease is will be the least expensive way on a monthly basis to own plus you preserve the option value is increased value with time yeah but we do understand that some customers who have ownership or at least their vehicles did not purchase that option upfront so this will enable those customers to spread out the cost of ownership of SD or subscription of the tool absolutely if you later like at a high level our overall goal is to maximize the area under the curve of customer happiness that is our goal and we think that you
Paragraph 20
know that that's the kind of thing that all companies should try to do and it's it's what results in long term value creation and look at media and loyalty bagasse loyalty so our goal is always wait to do the best thing for other customers and and we're confident that but if we're behave like that that they've been customers in turn will pool they have its own way to us thank you the second question from investors is Chandler recently announced changes to its nav subsidy program that disqualifies Tesla vehicles from benefiting from the subsidies what extent is there room for Tesla to lower manufacturing cost in China and pass those savings to buyer so they can qualify for the subsidy yeah so we're making rapid progress on lowering the production cost
Paragraph 21
in China and we're actually excited to announce on this call that we'll be reducing the price of the standard range model 3 basically tomorrow China time so the day after tomorrow California time but tomorrow China time and in that net be a price below of the subsidy limit we feel confident that that will still be a vehicle that delivers good core emotion yep and and on the manufacturing cost portion of the question the cost of vehicles produced in Shanghai in p1 is already lower than the cost to produce the model 3 in Freemont and there's still significant opportunity left take cost out so a fixed cost absorption from higher production volumes which are occurring in q2 and will occur through the rest of the year we're not fully localized on the supply
Paragraph 22
chain yet and so well a lot of the supply chain is localized it's not complete and there's additional opportunities there and so we'll continue to bring the price down and expand margin cost down and expand margin even with this reduction in price but Elon mentioned on the standard range version of the vehicle thank you the next question is and they grow once said that great companies are improved by crises in which way has best not improved or or is expected to improve coming out of code 19 well as close to look closely at our cost structure and to be more efficient as a company that one always has to do that in crisis and you know to think about our core beliefs and what do we want to do and we you know care conclusion that that the right the right
Paragraph 23
wave is actually to continue to expand rapidly continue to invest in the future in your technologies will know it is risky and we've talked to it some like investors and they support that approach as well so you know I think this was fully an uncertain you know if your head is a bit of a bumpy road but I think the the long-term prospects are extremely good guys wanna put ideal on on the prioritization on the key projects well enable us to execute more efficiently and faster on them which i think is great that the other one that I would add is it's always been our vision at Tesla to improve the customer experience and and make that as digital as possible yeah please deliver a touchless delivery mobile service the part of the sales has been something that
Paragraph 24
we've been very focused on and made a lot of progress on yeah house was the only car that you can really order in in less than five minutes on your phone you can order a car and have it delivered to your doorstep with all the paperwork and everything done that's it effortless and many customers do that and they're doing it yes in fact a big part of it is just trying to communicate to people at this is something you can do because normally buying a car isn't quite a painted for most people they would rather go to the dentist than buy a new car yeah actually my dentist is right with me but it's really like quite an arduous thing you know when the typical retail experience for buying your car it is more painful to people than then having a root canal then
Paragraph 25
you have to say well and for Tesla it is completely as easy as ordering something on that Apple App Store or touring something on Amazon and just lipstick are yeah I'm at five minutes if you're really went fast I think you could order a car probably in 90 seconds thank you and the next question from institutional investor is can you give us a brief preview of the battery day by generally highlighting steps test life stating to improve self energy density and time life or introduction yeah so we're just we don't have preempt about today we're when we've been exciting news for for that day there will be a lot of exciting news to tell and I think it's going to be one of the most exciting days in Intel's history and we're just try to forget the right timing
Paragraph 26
for that we think probably the right timing will be the your properly the third week of May that's not giving a fun date but we think that probably that's right timing and depending upon what we are allowed to do it will either be in California or Texas [Music] okay well your last question from a traditional investors could you please update on progress towards development and comers that commercially commercialization of full self-driving how much revenue have you recognized so far um so there's a couple things on the financials for full saw strategy and so currently in North America it sold for $7,000 as an option we take roughly half of that as revenue and the other half of it goes into deferred revenue that's associated with features that will be
Paragraph 27
released with time a deferred revenue balance is continuing to grow it's a little bit over six hundred million dollars and so as we release features with time at the end of every quarter we take a look at what features have been released associated value and then we can release that from the deferred revenue into our financials for that quarter and then cars going forward once the features release we can recognize that revenue so we reduce the amount of deferral and we can recognize that revenue within period so this is one of what we think will be one of the most powerful gross margin levers with time it has a feature sweetest robot absolutely there's also a current of untapped potential in but the bit out there that could upgrade to turn on autopilot
Paragraph 28
basically palatable for self-driving and that's something that will enable your just important approaches or as we talked about earlier just you know towards the end of the year as a subscription so but that's that's just a lot of untapped potential there and that's not in the deferred revenue line obviously it is certainly a great deal of deferred potential that we think is a large portion which is like too likely to reach coercion thank you and now let's go to questions from the retail investors question number one Elon has mentioned a 50% compound annual growth target for Tesla in the past is this still in line with Tesla's ambitions for the next five to ten years this would be four million vehicles in 2025 and more than 20 million vehicles in 2030
Paragraph 29
he's forty percent of more realistic target well it's always difficult to predict what the macro situation is going to be you can a few people would have predicted the other you know but unexpected yeah roundhouse that that covered and came up with it sort of came an hour so I think in the absence of something is some some massive force majeure event but quite massive I think 50 percent it is this the likely number it's possible that is 40% I would be very shocked if it's less than 40% not even with force-majeure short World War 3 ok the next question from retail investors when will you announce next Giga how many gig us the UF client for the next 5 years I think we will announce the next gig app possibly as soon as a month what we made remain outs as
Paragraph 30
soon as next month with low friction is just saying it but what could happen for most what maybe within 3 months and possibly one month and that would be in the u.
Paragraph 31
s.
Paragraph 32
so as for how many will be in five years I'm not I I don't know right now what that number would be I guess so more than there are today but I'm not sure what would exactly be in five years but so number more than today our gigas have gotten bigger yes and larger vehicles for being cold terror yet with multiple products as well and so you know the absolute number of kata factories we may ultimately build might be less but each one is larger and that's under a belief that just significant efficiencies by having as much as possible and similar product lines under the same roof and as much vertical integration as possible all in one facility yes thank you the next question is can you give us an update on solar roof ram how many are you currently able to
Paragraph 33
install per week what is your installations four weeks target for the end of 2021 we're actually getting at rasma mentum with the solar roof before covered and that covered essentially shut us down both from devoted to install antibody to get permits the department offices requires and do you know a shelter-in-place 11 places so rusty cannot hit though and if you can't get permits and you can't physically do it it's perfectly impossible so but I think the long-term trend for solar roof is extremely good and I'm confident that it would say within the next you know I know you're there maybe even by end of year we should be installing at a rate of a thousand a week that's not in the in the middle of winter or something that's with like taking seasonality
Paragraph 34
I like for stupor seasonality we it's hard to install on roofs that are covered in snow and ice a bit like you know say spring I think it's installing wood which is the hard part we actually have demonstrated the ability to hit a thousand a week first blood rate for the solar classroom already so that's not that's not a problem but it's building up the install teams building up the third-party channel installers the Richland roofing industry installers and and internally we want to have at least a thousand thousand solar roof and install teams with and taking a week off house no less than a week to do an install which gets you a thousand a week roof installations we see if demand is demand is good production is good especially well about the install and
Paragraph 35
then Analects it also building up the to the training the right a diverse group of companies in the roofing industry to also install solar if that I think will scale master scale you have my far beyond a thousand a week we're also seeing a lot of interest outside of North America sort of your expect this to be a product that is international and and actually saying that reminds not of interest from China on the sunroof so we talked about this this would be a very significant product would help me over time thank you the next question is can you elaborate on Tesla's plan to enter the residential and/or commercial HVAC market can you provide some basics of how your system will work will be consider the heat pump water heater market as well well as I said
Paragraph 36
on Twitter I'm personally extremely excited to build a kick-ass HVAC system that also has you know sort of hospital grade particle filtration basically HEPA filtration that filters out viruses bacteria pollen fungi and also neutralizes acidic alkaline gases that is that is quiet and efficient and these are all things we've achieved in in our cars by the way in fact I'm gonna love you realized but the model is next so the only cars in the world that have a hospital operating room braid but HEPA filters bullpen they're very big so we can get to apply a particle camp that is insanely low with our cars and Riaan why I have like Merv 16 or 15 people filters yeah so which is so like model Korean wire burners like there are no slouches multilaterals are ways
Paragraph 37
they're way better than any other cars the best of my knowledge they're quite as good as possible operating room but they're extremely good way better than any other normal car very continuing to improve the culture is learned through anyway I guess these actually have a big effect on health even in normal just day-to-day living is reducing particle count and and yeah it has effect on allergies and also something so it's really their quality is incredibly important yeah you're in a non coded situation extremely important so they're taking all those things that are glutes and applying to your home HVAC and it would be an epidural HVAC would be just more exciting and and NH if you've got if you're condensing water minor goals to have it be a water source
Paragraph 38
if you have water you possibly could then heat the water and have a water heater as well yeah neither does eat source if you need it instead of down so when the outdoors is really cold yeah or the other way around so that's options it could be held a product and then so we just have to wait till we have tens to divide up whether we can cheer on the card front so we're going to make sure we get a lot of using the fire here for gear products with the cyber truck semi road near roadster and to get the gigafactory in various parts of the world it's a possibility a model y and photo pilot and the solar roof and I'm gonna technology yeah slightly power will power power pack mega pack we are seeing tremendous demand for stationary storage more than more than
Paragraph 39
we can supply at least least for 2020 thank you and the last question from the retailers when will that left start acquiring utilities like the horns they'll power reserve and Moss Landing instead of selling them battery storage plus it makes sense for Tesla to buy bigger clients and convert them well we hadn't really thought about that yet but it's not out of the question but our brain is full excuse me sir I don't blame you for the question you know what our overarching goal is to help accelerate the advent of sustainable energy and we deal with and the three elements of that or sustainable power generation then you better store the power station in storage and then you'd better have electric transportation so and we don't have like specific market
Paragraph 40
share goals or anything like that it's just to agree that we can accelerate their pension sustainable energy we think that's a fundamental good for the world and we want to give a toast fast as possible but it's not you makes it market share growth you know it's gold in and of itself it's just you know fast this happens a bit over the world little did thank you very much and I think now we can move to analyst questions thank you our first question will come from Adam Jonas with Morgan Stanley please go ahead thanks everybody I hope everyone's safe and healthy I got one question one follow-up and I point out I've had a root canal before and I would agree Elan it was less painful than buying a car I mean it really is yeah exactly it's a big problem actually
Paragraph 41
it's a big decision yes different conversation exact verse for you any real-time update on company liquidity at the end of April some some companies have you know given the circumstances gone out of their way to give a little color on that just want to give you a shot at that I gotta follow yeah it's a fair question I don't have any additional color to provide so 8.
Paragraph 42
1 billion in cash and cash equivalents at the end of q1 we're managing it very closely as I mentioned in my opening remarks we do have an increase in inventory of vehicles that we were unable to deliver at the end of q1 so we're making progress delivering those to April which is helpful for liquidity and you know as we've been looking at liquidity we've been looking at this over the next 18 months and there's ups and downs to the look to the liquidity you know currently now as we're not producing we still have payables from q1 that we're paying off but then in a couple of months we'll quickly be through that and then we'll have a gap in payables since we don't have any parts coming in so it does go up and down a little bit but you know in looking at the
Paragraph 43
long-term horizon which is how we're managing it right now we feel pretty comfortable with the liability position on the company yeah yeah we are a bit worried about I'm gonna be able to resume production in the Bay Area and that should be identified as a serious risk and you know that we really only have to call factories right now one in Shanghai and one in the area and Borya produced with the vast majority of our cars all of SMX and most of the three and all of the why so the the extension of the shelf replace or likely I'll call it in forcibly imprisoning people in their homes against all their constitutional rights with my opinion with raising people's freedoms in ways that are horrible and wrong and not my people came to America or built this country
Paragraph 44
what the excuse me people acted out great systems outrage so that it will cause great harm not just the tassel of its many companies and while Tesla will weather the storm there are many small companies that will not and all peoples everything if you will work for the whole life against going to get is being destroyed in real time and you're going to have many suppliers and I'm having many spiders that having super hard times especially at small ones and it's just causing a lot of strife to a lot of people when you're on on that point you mentioned people that gave their lives to build the country my faults for you on this they've been a lot of comparisons you know drawn to the state of the US economy to the early 1930s when Roosevelt began a series of
Paragraph 45
new deals in infrastructure projects for post-world War two when Eisenhower launched the u.
Paragraph 46
s.
Paragraph 47
highway act and when JFK launched the Apollo program which you could say was you know influenced by the Cold War clearly and you've benefited from in our space program benefited from what would be your message to US lawmakers on this call as we in addition to your opinions on shelter in place but you know thinking a longer term your message to US lawmakers coming out of the crisis specifically around the infrastructure and a chance to kind of you know work with taxpayers to support sustainable transport renewable energy I'm wondering to see this you know as a chance to make make the crisis and all the loss and lives lost not be in vain Thanks I think it's high time we invested in infrastructure in this country we have a lot of crumbling highways and bridges
Paragraph 48
and and frankly you know when I visit China I see their infrastructure as being much better than ours it's great Europe was better infrastructure it's it's it's really quite sad but the u.
Paragraph 49
s.
Paragraph 50
infrastructure is especially so voids in highways this is where it is today and our airports in a lot of cases are an embarrassment so and it's not just a question of money it's fish as well and as soon as we spend a lot of money on these things but what do we gain for it for it so you know and yeah we really need to be taking out what is the transportation of the future not the presentation of that for the past year you know if this was in 1928 do you want to be investing in steam engines or Intel commotions edges obviously most lots of engines so yeah those are the time to think about the future um and also to ask you know I did is it right to your infringe upon people's right but as what is what is happening right now I think the bank but people are
Paragraph 51
going to be very angry about this and are very angry respect somebody should be if somebody wants to stay in a house but that's great they should be allowed to stay in the house initial not be compelled to leave but to say that they cannot leave their house and there will be arrested if they do this was this was fascist this was not democratic this was not freedom give people back their God doing freedom ok let's go to the next question please Thank You our next question comes from Emmanuel Rosner with Deutsche Bank please go ahead hi good evening question on model Y or something you can elaborate a little bit more of the drivers of how the gross margin is already positive at such low volume how much of it is a function of the criminality with the model
Paragraph 52
3 with other factors should we think about and what does that mean for the ampler for the eventual gross margin of Malwa well sure a couple of thoughts there for why the first is it does carry a higher ASP so on the revenue side it carries a higher ASP than model 3 and the deliveries that we started with were of the higher ASP versions of the cars so we started with deliveries of performance initially and so that helps create some of the margin and that will come down with time as more variants are released and we have more of a steady state mix but it's similar to the ASP trend that we had with model 3 when we launched that product and for two years ago on the cost side and I think you hit on a couple of the book is the commonality is huge it's very
Paragraph 53
important and in addition to that manufacturing processes are very similar to model three as well until we have experience with that both with monitoring Fremont and then as well in Shanghai and it helps to have an existing factory with existing workforce and knowledge here as well so the ecosystem to support and launch of the product is there there remain a lot of opportunities to take continue to take cost out of the car the number of vehicles that we built in the first quarter is is quite limited relative to where Waldo would take hospital out of the car and to make the park better so it's detachment it's not make the park worse it's any people can take cost out of a car make it worse we want to take cut across all the car you're out how to make it
Paragraph 54
lighter and simpler and and so it's once the car just just incrementally improve as well as incrementally lower in cost but you know for four or five seater model why we briefly we expect you know marginal cost back car to be comparable to the model three once we have reached a path to ten or twenty thousand units or something like that you know ladies and gentlemen please stand by your conference will resume momentarily thank you because you're back online hi sorry we got disconnected for some reason um what was the question again okay now let's go to the next question please the next question comes from Van Keller was there please go ahead hey thank you very much just wondering about the Z cell strategy you know in in Reno you have obviously integrated
Paragraph 55
there but you're buying cells I think in Shanghai and what we think is in Germany and so how are you looking at at that going forward and then so they just talk about mr.
Paragraph 56
Lazaro and that border dish is kind of the process with with adding into the board thank you sure from a sales perspective you know with all the partners we've had historically and in the future we're just looking for competitive technology and competitive pricing I think we'll talk a little bit more about this and battery investor day like how we're approaching all of it but but yeah I mean we don't have like one model we're restricting ourselves to pursue we're just trying to find what's best for the products and they can and in the long run and then there's a question about the board so I couldn't we could on here the second part of the question yeah that's give up mr.
Paragraph 57
with you know better entering the board and kind of the process behind that what he brings to the fore oh I think we all need a hero and obviously liberation a lot of experience investing at the highest levels in the world and some co-workers at birth and a pension fund which is for the largest funder of any kind in the world and you know generally the conversations of the years just Charlie I think I was fighting to how the disagrees with all three markets work and what he thinks is whether errors for reform just it's like children just trying to force off for anything about how to make the future better and Meshech shares my view about an environment and very sensible smart person who brings a lot to the board and I think is generally recognized as
Paragraph 58
such I find by many people I guess I guess waking in to the Panasonic relationship but maybe just you know how is that relationship going here is there any greed through on pretty big neurology board thank you um I think this is that nicer with the past night lationship I mean I had a great relationship with past nights here we we meet regularly one-on-one and talk whole time and you know so what that relationship is strong and bring more of a broader global strategic view to the board thank you let's go to the next question please our next question will come from Jean monster with loop ventures please go ahead congratulations on the progress and you only talked about full autonomy by the end of the year I would love for you to walk through the rollout
Paragraph 59
strategy of the Tesla Network app and how that's gonna look prior to the Robo taxi stage are you going to gradually take over a human routes with autonomous capable routes over time or how do you see that playing out well it's pretty much play out as as it has played out which is will we release more more functionality you know before we release any functionality it goes through extensive testing and of course we run it we have a simulations team that has a very good simulation of the real world so we run any code changes through a battery testing simulation when we have a global rating brush I'm on actually I'm one of on the global create you a team and we test the releases in the real world the real world bad differences cooler world in the simulation
Paragraph 60
which is which are very many because the world was very complex aware and then we release it to a small group of Congress beta testers within the company and to a larger audience including people outside the company and to early access Tesla owners and then finally a broader release and so those are the many stages that these things work for so the by the time something is we're going to wide release into the US there's went to all the first stages and the software that's at the at the very early stage there's much more advanced than what people are saying so there's just going to go through a rigorous lengthy process so essentially we need to figure out you could get very good the complex intersections get very good at like turns in intersections and
Paragraph 61
looks like it will be malls in a parking lot or office park or special events and it's working events that kind of thing when those eventually come back we have these doubles opposed or after high places but it will try for a while I feel like the autopilots engineering team is finished a few a talented group and I'm deeply involved with the team really so we talk every week and meet every week run your cash or present a physical meeting it's awful so I have a good fight understanding where we are overhead and I feel like we have transmeta momentum and we'll have the functionality that's right cool for some time anybody out of the year now after that functionality is released this pistol another strap which is to improve the reliability of it once was
Paragraph 62
released to make a pull stop driving with looking into the fish whip it supervised by the driver and then we keep improving a lot reliability to the point where it no longer needs to be supervised by the driver and we provide a vast body of data to regulators to show them about what was the case and then presumably the regulator's which jurisdiction it is working approval for fully autonomous cars that can drive with no humans on board it obviously the regulatory approval process that's before us fear accuracy because it's out of our hands but the progress would I forget about program summarize we want forget owners full autonomy some level that by the end of the year and then a human in a loop tessai network app sometime is it first half of next year
Paragraph 63
would that be the whole mm-hmm doing like wait turn the car drives with no first one with a person initially a person observe would that be with the Tesla Network at but that the early part of the year 2021 is at the whole it's just I just hope I would say that that's probably a fair description ok and then you know kind of take it to its end stage the Robo taxi stage any high-level thoughts understand the regulatory is a massive unknown but if you're gonna put a guess on it where would we start moving with certain Robo taxi well I think I think it's quite likely in my view Gannicus it could be wrong on as you suppose with our heads if in some errors and we're behind in others because when I did when I when I get when I give a guest I give the guest but
Paragraph 64
I think this be the likely midpoint not be the point with lots of margin if this is not a distribution I give you the 50th percentile and not be a few Sigma you know optimistic or pessimistic and so then that naturally means at least have no predictions will be wrong and have the right what might be bright but or set by yeah but if a few weeks to a few months in some cases a few years um but because everything I'd rather said would come true did come true it may come too late but it did come true so punctuality is not my strong suit and I always come through in the end so I mean I think we could see rubber taxis in operation with Network feet next year none nor mark is going to thank you let's go the last question please the last question will come from
Paragraph 65
Pierre from room with new Street please go ahead hey thanks for taking my question one on gross margin first and your impressive performance in q1 so there are three moving parts that they win from creditors of course the mode ly ramping even if it broke even it party took average cost margin down and of course you had like frenum being closed shut down the last week of the quarter I probably was this office an extra person so when I looked at how gross margin evolves sequentially excluding this removing part I said like you're Auto gross margin it has been up like a couple of points sequentially so I wanted to check with you is that estimate would make sense and then I would have a follow-up on energy storage thank you yeah I think the three things that
Paragraph 66
you mentioned it's been a little bit of a hard time hearing the full question here because I'm having a bit of Network difficulty in the room well I'll do my best here so when we look at margin we do a salute credit as you have so I agree with that model by ramping bringing down overall gross margin I agree with that as well so it was lower than the overall average and that will increase with time and shutdown and efficiencies in both Shanghai and in Fremont also laid on margin but and the shanghai margin was below the average as well even though it's increasing quickly in approaching model 3 it still is below the average and so I think the sentiment of your question was if you were to remove those factors with the sequential increase in gross margin
Paragraph 67
I haven't specifically calculated that but I think your intuition is right we saw strength and gross margin across the board as I mentioned and in particular FNX worst margins continue to improve but it despite slightly lower volumes there and higher a fixed cost limitations there's good progress happening both on the ASP sign-in Macross reduction side for our products in production and I think this also lends itself to as the power of the gross profit contribution to the company once we get through these rampant efficiencies we get them on up and running again the increased capacity so we can spread out fixed costs and continue to execute on cost reductions on our products we're very optimistic about that personally thanks and I had a coupon on energy
Paragraph 68
storage if you can hear me well I think like I can't remember I think from the very first days I heard you on the course you've always mentioned that demand for energy storage is always out straighting supply and you have more orders and you can make and so I'm kind of thinking there will be there should be an inflection point in that business at some point and it's going to be driven by your ability to add much more manufacturing capacity like battery manufacturing capacity and at a high level how are you thinking about that inflection point in terms of timeline in terms of timeline I think what we've been doing with with both our partners and internally and looking at how to reduce the fundamentally the cost of of investments in new cell capacity because
Paragraph 69
when you look at a car a vehicle product you know there's a lot of things in the vehicle besides the cells when you look at an energy storage project product it's really just the cells and so it really grow the energy storage business it's all about selling business and so that's that's what we've been focused on and and I think yeah not to give too much away but we'll put that'll be one of those things you address in battery and investor day is is how we're focused on that and when we only have that in the place we want it'll be a lot easier to scale that business thank you very much for all your great questions unfortunately this is all the time we have today and we'll speak to you again in three months time thank you very much and have a good day well
