Key Takeaways Elon Musk and other Tesla executives on Wednesday discussed self-driving software and the Optimus robot, among other topics. The call followed a disappointing quarterly report, with revenue and adjusted profits falling short of estimates.

Elon Musk said Tesla will begin launching unsupervised self-driving models in Austin, Texas by June and several other U.S. cities by the end of 2025.

Tesla just released its Q4 2024 earnings results, and the stock is reacting in after-hours trading. The EV company reported earnings-per-share (EPS) of $0.73/share and revenues of $25.7 billion, missing Wall Street analyst estimates of $0.76/share and $27.3 billion.

On Seeking Alpha, four of the five analysts with post-earnings rundowns on Tesla are in the bear camp. The lone bull so far, Investor's Compass, thinks Tesla's ( TSLA) cost advantage in autonomous vehicles and potential rapid scaling of Optimus robots support long-term growth, even if Elon Musk's projections are only partially accurate.
