...Equity Research Industrials | U.S. Autos & Auto Parts 12 February 2015 Tesla Motors Inc. Another reminder of challenges ahead EQUAL WEIGHT Stock Rating Unchanged NEUTRAL Industry View 4Q print validated concern that crossing the chasm is tougher than it looks: Last week we caught the ire of Tesla bulls by lowering our estimates based on concerns about production delays and rising opex and capex (see “Crossing the chasm is tougher than it looks”). The 4Q print validated many of those concerns. Behind an EPS loss of 13c vs. consensus +30c were several soft spots – Tesla missed 4Q deliveries and guided softly for 1Q’15, ZEV credits artificially boosted results, opex grew faster than expected, and capex was guided well ahead of our conservative model. The result reinforces that Tesla’s push to become a mass market OEM is much harder than it looks. We reiterate our EW rating and remain cautious on the stock near-term. Unchanged USD 190.00 Price Target lowered -5% from USD 200.00 Price (11-Feb-2015) USD 212.80 Potential Upside/Downside -11% Tickers TSLA 26681 Shares Outstanding (mn) Don’t get caught up with ambitious mid/long-term targets…: Despite the weak quarter, there was enough to keep the die-hard bulls interested. Our take - don’t get caught up in it. On the demand side, Musk noted Tesla could reach its ‘15 S/X delivery guide of 55k even ex. China, and has a “secret weapon” which could be deployed later ...

From then on for over 30 years, there was no big progress in the Chinese automotive industry on both production and technology sides. Production capacity was low, and technology was outdated.

So far, all of the world's major automakers, such as General Motors, Toyota, Ford, Volkswagen, DaimlerChrysler, Nissan-Renault, PSA Peugeot Citroen,...
