Apart from headline results, investors will also look for management's commentary on future outlook. Scaling up of production at 2 new factories will be one of areas of focus as well as timeline for launch of the Cybertruck. Automotive companies around the world have been struggling with parts shortages after Covid pandemic disrupted supply chains. While Tesla has managed to increase production this year to record levels, it is uncertain whether it will manage to continue to increase it this year. Cybertruck production was expected to begin in late-2021 but has been delayed into late-2022 with Tesla saying it was to make changes to original features and functions. Investors will also look for any information on new, affordable $25,000-cars that were promised in 2020. However, Tesla vice-president said in October that company will focus on existing models during supply chain constraints and will not add new models to line-up as long as battery supply remains an issue.
Taking a look at the Tesla chart (TSLA.US) at the D1 interval, we can see that stock took a hit during the recent stock market sell-off.

The nearest resistance zone to watch can be found ranging between 38.2% retracement of the upward impulse launched in May 2021 and $1,000.00 handle.
