Tesla reported record quarterly revenue and significantly higher free cash flow, driven by the highest vehicle deliveries in its history and record energy-storage deployments. Automotive margins remain lower year-on-year due to higher operating costs, tariffs, and sales mix. Nevertheless, the company still managed to generate substantial cash surplus. Management continues to lean heavily into AI (FSD v14 rollout, Robotaxi pilots) and new products (Model 3/Y Standard, Model YL, Megapack 3/Megablock) while maintaining a cautious tone regarding macro and trade risks.

Management commentary
Management remains optimistic, emphasizing that current production serves as the foundation for monetizing the company’s AI-based services offering. Comments indicate short-term uncertainty related to trade and fiscal policy, but upcoming production lines (Cybercab/Robotaxi, Semi, Megapack 3, Optimus) sustain strong commercialization potential.
- FSD v14 has begun rolling out, integrating a large portion of the Robotaxi model with improved handling of complex scenarios. The Robotaxi service was expanded in Austin, and a ride-hailing program was launched in the Bay Area to collect data ahead of full commercial scaling.
- Management points to rising tariffs and supply-chain uncertainty as factors driving costs and limiting pricing flexibility. Localized sourcing of batteries and drivetrains is expected to reduce these risks over time.
- AI training capacity increased to approximately 81,000 H100-class GPUs, with further growth expected through collaboration with Samsung on advanced AI chip manufacturing in the U.S.
