I guess that's one way of saying Tesla beat revenue and earnings expectations. Stock price went up 3% in after-hours trading.

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...

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

  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.

      Except Apple ditched their firebrand founder to fumble it all. In Tesla's case they are tied to the hip of their "founder" and are fumbling it. Stonk still high though so...

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

Bad news that is priced in is still bad news. The meta-commentary of the bad news being priced in, and the behavior of the stock post-earnings is absolutely useful information and valid analysis, but it's not the key takeaway unless you're a day trader.

Who cares how it compares to expectations? So some experts thought it would be even worse. Why do I care what they thought? A massive drop in profits is much more relevant.
