When you absolutely, positively, must find a nice thing to say about Tesla, yes, their 11% revenue decline - their second year in a row of revenue decline, was indeed slightly less bad than analysts expected...

11% revenue decline during a year where the global EV market grew 20% [0]. That's just abysmal, especially for a company which was once the only game in town if you wanted a "serious" EV.

Tesla is often compared to Apple.

I guess in this case it’s the Apple that dominated an emerging market, then fumbled it and completely lost the market to the IBM PC and ended up as a bit player for the next two decades.

analysts are kinda irrelevant when a stock isn't connected to fundamentals anyways

I read "beating" more like ICE tactics then coming out ahead of a prediction, seems perhaps more accurate
