Tesla shareholders report receiving 2024 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting invites

Tesla shareholders report receiving 2024 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting invites

Published

on

It appears that Tesla has started sending out invites to the 2024 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting. As could be seen in images of the invite that have been shared online, Tesla seems to be dubbing the event the 2024 Cyber Roundup. 

The invite to the upcoming 2024 Annual Shareholder Meeting is very straightforward, with the electric vehicle maker simply advising recipients to RSVP within 48 hours of the invitation’s receipt. The invitation also indicates that the 2024 Cyber Roundup will be held at Giga Texas, 1 Test Road, Austin, Texas, on June 13, 2024. 

The 2024 Annual Shareholder Meeting promises to be a pivotal event for the company, primarily because of Proposals Three and Four, which deal with Tesla’s proposed reincorporation from Delaware to Texas, as well as the ratification of Elon Musk’s 2018 CEO Performance Award, which was rescinded by a Delaware judge back in January 2024. Tesla has so far been putting a lot of effort into encouraging shareholders to vote for its proposals

While invites for the 2024 Cyber Roundup are already being sent out, those who are looking to secure a slot in the special Giga Texas tour on June 12, 2024 are poised to wait some more. As per Tesla, the company will be choosing 15 TSLA stockholders who would be given an invitation to tour Giga Texas’s Model Y and Cybertruck production lines on the eve of the 2024 Annual Shareholder Meeting. 

The tour will be quite special as guests will be guided through the factory by CEO Elon Musk and Design Chief Franz von Holzhausen. The deadline for TSLA stockholders to submit their proof of voting is Friday, June 7, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. CT. Winners are expected to be announced before the date of the special Giga Texas tour.

Based on an investor survey, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas noted that Tesla’s proposal to ratify Elon Musk’s 2018 compensation plan might be approved by shareholders. “The majority of respondents (57%) expect Elon’s compensation package to be approved, outnumbering respondents who do not expect approval (23%) by more than 2:1. If Elon’s comp package is approved, majority (68%) expect Tesla stock price to react positively over the next three trading days (24% expect TSLA shares up 6-10%+, 44% expect TSLA shares up 3-5%, outnumbering those who expect the stock to be down upon approval by almost 6x,” the analyst wrote.

Tesla bull Wedbush responds to Q1 deliveries: ‘A disaster on every metric’

Tesla bull Wedbush has responded to the company’s lackluster Q1 delivery figures, which were released on Wednesday morning in a new note from analyst Dan Ives.

Tesla reported deliveries of 336,681 vehicles in the first quarter of the year, a far cry from the Wall Street estimate of 352,000 and whisper numbers of roughly 350,000. At first glance, it seems to be a disaster, but Tesla said it lost “several weeks of production” in Q1 due to the ramp of the new Model Y at all four of its vehicle production factories.

Tesla (TSLA) reports 336,681 vehicle deliveries for Q1 2025

This could be part of the reason that the company experienced a quarter of this performance, but there are also factors stemming from CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in the U.S. government, which has created some pushback in various markets.

It’s tough to say how much of each issue caused this type of quarter, but Ives wrote in a note to investors that Wedbush could not look at this “with rose-colored glasses,” as the performance “was a disaster on every metric.”

Ives believes it is time for Musk to make a move:

“The Street and us knew a bad 1Q was coming but this was even worse than expected. The time has come for Musk….it’s a fork in the road moment. The more political he gets with DOGE the more the brand suffers, there is no debate. This quarter was an example of the damage Musk is causing Tesla. This continues to be a moment of truth for Musk to navigate this brand tornado crisis moment and get onto the other side of this dark chapter for Tesla with much better days ahead.”

Interestingly, the stock dropped over 5 percent after the delivery report. It quickly rebounded 8 percent and is currently up over 5 percent on the day after a report from Politico stated that Musk and President Donald Trump have discussed the CEO stepping back from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Based on that, it seems that investors were looking for Musk to step back from his government duties and show more public attention to Tesla. Realistically, we do not know how much of his time is being devoted to Tesla and its EV initiative. However, it seems investors were ready to hear something along the lines of Musk being more involved and speaking openly about Tesla and its projects.

It’s not all bad. Ives still recognizes Tesla’s prowess with the rollout of robotaxi and Full Self-Driving and how much impact it could have moving forward:

“Autonomous remains the biggest transformation to the auto industry in modern-day history and in our view, Tesla will own the autonomous market in the US and globally with the launch of unsupervised FSD in Austin kicking off the autonomous era at Tesla that we value at $1 trillion alone on a sum-of-the-parts valuation…”

With that being said, he also wants Musk to balance responsibilities with DOGE and Tesla:

“BUT…Musk needs to stop this political firestorm and balance being CEO of Tesla with DOGE. The future is so bright but this is a full blown crisis Tesla is navigating now and its primarily self-inflected. We remain firmly bullish on the long-term Tesla story but Musk needs to get his act together or else unfortunately darker times are ahead for Tesla.”

Tesla shares are trading at $283.01, up 5.42% at 1:57 p.m. on the East Coast.

The vehicle, however, is now being ramped.
