Why This Tesla Analyst Disagrees With Bearish Takes, Remains Bullish

Tesla Inc's TSLA conference call was less about the promise of the future and more about the tough realities of the present, Jim Cramer said Tuesday on CNBC.

Oppenheimer analyst Colin Rusch told CNBC he disagrees with Cramer's take. The conference call was forward-looking in terms of the subscription model for Tesla's full self-driving, he said.

"The real story here is around the recurring revenue model that is emerging for this company," Rusch said.
