Overview
- Michael Burry replied on X that he is not short Tesla, despite reiterating his view that the stock is overvalued.
- Tesla published its own compilation of sell-side forecasts showing about 422,850 Q4 deliveries, roughly 15% below a year ago.
- The company-posted consensus pegs 2025 deliveries near 1.6 million, indicating an estimated annual decline of about 8% and a second consecutive drop.
- Analyst Gary Black called the disclosure unusual for Tesla, and investors are awaiting the company’s official delivery report in early January.
- Burry has criticized shareholder dilution of roughly 3.6% a year tied to equity pay and has shifted disclosed bearish bets toward AI names such as Nvidia and Palantir, cautioning that shorting Tesla has been risky and options are costly.
