Yep, it's true: Tesla is partnering with Say to let regular shareholders ask questions on its upcoming Q1 2019 earnings call April 24th. Any Tesla shareholder with any amount of shares (ETFs and funds with Tesla shares count too) can submit questions and vote for questions from fellow investors. On Tesla's previous earnings call, over 300 questions were submitted by Say users, $60 million Tesla shares were voted and five were answered by CEO Elon Musk at the top of the call. Here's why that matters: Retail shareholders (i.e., "regular shareholders," as opposed to "institutional investors" like a big pension fund or mutual fund) are rarely given the opportunity to communicate with the companies they invest in outside of shareholder voting. Even in that setting, having their voices heard over major stakeholders' is not easy. Similarly, retail investors having their questions answered on an earnings calls—which are usually reserved for bank analysts—is not a thing. So we're making it one with Tesla. To participate, connect your brokerage account. From there, you can submit three questions and vote for questions from fellow shareholders. Below, a few questions that are starting to take off on the platform: How has customer service improved? What's going on with the Tesla semi? Will Tesla leverage its work as an energy company? Why show "after fuel" discounts? What about future profitability?
