The main reason tesla is so conservative is the chip shortage problem, the supply chain problem of auto parts will continue in 2022, and Tesla has to choose to abandon the launch of new models and instead ensure the production of existing models.

Musk has said that if there is nothing special, he will not attend the earnings conference call in the future, but this time he still appeared.

Since 2022, in less than a month, Tesla's stock price has fallen below $1,000, and its market value has fallen below $1 trillion, evaporating more than 18%.

Musk is optimistic about the 2022 delivery outlook, saying he expects deliveries to easily grow to more than 50 percent in 2022. That doesn't even include the capacity of Tesla factories in Germany, which can be achieved with Tesla Gigafactories in Fremont and Shanghai alone.
