### Investor Curiosity Peaks Ahead of Tesla's Q3 Earnings Report

Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) upcoming earnings report for the third quarter of 2024 has investors and analysts eagerly anticipating key updates from CEO Elon Musk. Following Tesla's recent "We, Robot" event, which revealed the Cybercab robotaxi and the Optimus bot, stakeholders are keen to gain insights on several pressing issues when the earnings are reported tomorrow.

A significant point of intrigue is whether Tesla will introduce a $25,000 electric vehicle. Currently, the only mention of an affordable model is the Cybercab, priced below $30,000. A lower-priced vehicle could open Tesla to a broader consumer base, potentially increasing sales and deliveries beyond the projected 1.8 million units, consistent with 2023 levels. Despite substantial interest, it is anticipated that Musk will refrain from divulging specific plans for future vehicles during the call.

Service efficiency remains a contentious topic among Tesla owners. Many have reported lengthy service wait times, sometimes extending to nearly two months. While the company has expanded its service centers and mobile service fleet, it struggles to implement a more efficient maintenance model. Tesla's ambition for an F1-style pit-stop service has yet to materialize, leaving many owners frustrated with ongoing delays.

Another topic investors are eager to hear about is the Tesla Roadster. Promised for several years, Musk has suggested that production will start next year, with most engineering already completed. Any concrete update on the Roadster would be significant, especially for enthusiasts ready to invest $250,000 in the high-performance vehicle.

The eligibility of the Cybertruck AWD for the EV tax credit also raises questions. Currently, it does not qualify for the $7,500 tax credit available at the point of sale. Clarification is sought on whether the disqualification stems from regulatory issues with the IRS or specific elements of the truck's battery cells. Addressing this issue could provide crucial information for potential buyers reliant on the tax credit.

Tesla's earnings will be revealed tomorrow at 4 p.m. ET, providing an opportunity for investors to receive much-needed clarity on these pivotal topics.
