What could break the thesis?

Other Findings

Tesla said it generally does not hedge foreign-currency risk and estimated that a 10% adverse move across currencies could produce a $1.35 billion gain or loss before tax at September 30, 2025, up from $1.15 billion at December 31, 2024. This is a quantified increase in exposure within the filing. The June 2026 baseline reports a $1.64 billion sensitivity, so exposure increased further after September 2025; severity remains high and is worsening. (2 intensifying, 1 stable, 2 insufficient_data)

“These changes would have resulted in a gain or loss of $1.35 billion at September 30, 2025 and $1.15 billion at December 31, 2024, assuming no foreign currency hedging.”
