Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas forecasts a 20% sequential improvement in Model 3 deliveries and sees them being heavily weighted to top-of-the-line mix. Given his understanding that the vast majority of Model 3 production is dual-motor, he added that he would not be surprised to see average transaction prices for the Model 3 to approach $60,000 per unit or more. Given his view on the Model 3, and his thinking that the company's working capital terms could drive a cash flow surprise, Jonas said he sees conditions supporting Tesla offering "extremely strong" guidance for Q4 profit and cash flow. He also believes Tesla will use the momentum to potentially tap the equity market and continues to forecast a $2.5B equity capital raise in Q4. Jonas keeps an Equal Weight rating on Tesla shares with a $291 price target.
