TSLA Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) -4.5% MEDIUM
TSLA Return 5-day cumulative residual -6.5% (FOLLOW-THROUGH) Delivery beat was pre-run and already public; the print hinges on margin quality and roadmap. A low-quality auto GM ex-credits (tariff/subvention/mix + credit fade) plus an EPS miss and reaffirmed ~$25B capex/negative-FCF guide force out-period estimate cuts (lower margins and FCF), while Robotaxi/Optimus lack concrete milestones and the SpaceX valuation overhang weighs. Sell-the-news continues, so the day-1 decline follows through lower over the week rather than reversing. LOW
