“Tesla may want to use October 17th as an opportunity to focus on its core transportation business and to present itself as a innovation leader in sustainable and safer driving,” Jonas stated, while pointing out, “The past 18 months have brought an increasing number of competing initiatives and strategic partnerships that Tesla must compete with.”

Safety

Thirdly, the analyst expects Tesla to place “relentless emphasis” on public safety and health.

With autopilot having been in the news due to concerns regarding consumer safety and moral hazard, Jonas believes the company might want to shed light on the favorable safety record of its vehicles, from its connected, semi-automatic fleet, using social media to gain the attention of regulators and the financial markets.

“Tesla is uniquely positioned to collect and analyze its vehicle data so that its fleet can ‘learn’. This network/swarm effect applies not just to vehicle safety, but also to the refinement of its battery/storage and electrical propulsion system,” Jonas added.
