Tesla's Unsold EVs Pile Up, Fastest-Growing Business Shrinks 40% — Elon Musk Must Explain Tonight

Erica Kollmann — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 18:22:32 +0000

Tonight, after the U.S. markets close, Elon Musk has a conference call to make.

Tesla‘s (NASDAQ:TSLA) first-quarter financial results are due, and the number of lingering questions ahead of that call is starting to look like the number of cars piling up on Tesla’s lots.

TSLA stock is moving. See the chart and price action here.

Let’s Start With The Cars

Tesla built 408,386 vehicles in the first three months of 2026. It delivered 358,023.

Both numbers are straight from Tesla’s own first-quarter production and delivery release, filed with the SEC in early April.

The gap between them — 50,363 cars built and not sold — is, according to InsideEVs, more unsold inventory than Tesla has ever had in its roughly two decades in business.

For a company that spent the last decade famous for waiting lists and delivery crunches, sitting on a record pile of finished EVs is not a small shift. It’s the kind of thing that usually ends with discounts, and discounts end with thinner profit ...

Chris Katje — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:39:46 +0000

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) rolling out robotaxis in several Texas cities ahead of first-quarter earnings is a distraction for the company and comes as Elon Musk is hurting the company's brand value, wealth manager Ross Gerber told Benzinga in an exclusive interview.

Robotaxi Distraction

Tesla used to be a top holding in the AdvisorShares Gerber Kawasaki ETF (NYSE:GK), but the ETF managed by Gerber Kawasaki CEO and co-founder Gerber no longer holds shares of the electric vehicle company.

"Elon's changed the narrative around the company from being a climate change EV-focused battery storage services company like the Apple model we invested in and loved into this new model, which is transportation-as-a-service or robotaxi," Gerber told Benzinga.

Gerber says the new robotaxi rollout is a distraction ahead of first-quarter earnings, which gives Musk ...
