Major investments planned in vehicle autonomy, Optimus robots, battery supply chain, AI chips, solar cell manufacturing, and energy infrastructure, including ramp-up of six new production lines in 2026.
Model S and X production to end next quarter, with factory space repurposed for Optimus robot manufacturing.
Record energy deployments and strong global demand, especially in APAC and EMEA, led to a larger year-end backlog and record APAC vehicle deliveries.
Vertical integration and system-level innovation enabled cost optimization, rapid technology iteration, and economies of scale.

Automotive margins (excluding credits) improved sequentially from 15.4% to 17.9%, despite 16% lower deliveries.
Total gross margin exceeded 20.1%, the highest in over two years; FY2025 GAAP gross margin was 18.0%, up 16 basis points year-over-year.

Focus remains on maximizing factory capacity utilization, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and funding expansion and vertical integration.
Transitioning FSD to a subscription-only model, impacting short-term automotive margins; hardware profits to be increasingly complemented by AI, software, and fleet-based services.
Expects fully autonomous vehicles in up to half of the U.S. by year-end, pending regulatory approval; volume production of Cybercab, Tesla Semi, and Megapack 3 scheduled for 2026.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Elon Musk: SpaceX, Tesla, and Shaping the Future
Explore Elon Musk's groundbreaking journey, including his roles in building SpaceX and Tesla, and how he's shaping the future across various domains.
Frequently asked questions
The innovative electric vehicle manufacturer
Tesla is a leading electric vehicle manufacturer with a mission to accelerate the advent of sustainable transports. Their first electric vehicle model was the Tesla Roadster, which was revolutionary in terms of the unmatched driving range. Today, Tesla produces five models: Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y, and the Cybertruck. Tesla has many initiatives beside the cars such as full self-driving software and production of batteries.
The nerdy eccentric founder
Contrary to popular belief, Tesla was not initially started by Elon Musk but by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in 2003. Instead, Elon Musk was one of the early investors and participated in the Series A funding round. He thereby became the largest owner and the Chairman of the board until he eventually stepped in as the CEO in 2008. Elon Musk had previously founded x.com, which later merged with Confinity to become what today is known as PayPal. The capital that Musk received when eBay acquired PayPal in 2002 was used to fund Tesla together with his other ventures at the time, SpaceX and SolarCity.
Elon Musk is one of the wealthiest persons in the world given the extraordinary rise of Tesla’s market capitalization during the last decade. As of 2023, Tesla is one of the most valuable companies in the world together with other prominent businesses such as Amazon, Meta, Berkshire Hathaway, and NVIDIA to name a few.
Exploring new frontiers
Besides being a global leader for electrical vehicles, Tesla is also a pioneer when it comes to full self-driving software and several other areas such as development of AI-based robots and space exploration. The use case for the Tesla bot, according to Musk, could be to pick up groceries and help out with other day-to-day repetitive tasks. As for the space exploration initiatives; Tesla attached the Tesla Roadster as payload on the Falcon Heavy test flight in 2018 that was sent out into space, which in hindsight can be viewed as a brilliant branding and marketing campaign.
The Supercharger network
Since Tesla was one of the first companies to mass-produce electric vehicles, there initially was not any charging infrastructure in place. Tesla therefore had to build it on their own which resulted in the Supercharger network. At first, it was free and unlimited for all Tesla owners, but now it is only discontinued. In 2021, Tesla announced that they were looking at possibilities for all electric vehicle owners to use their charging infrastructure, which previously was exclusive to Tesla owners only. As of March 2022, the Supercharger network consisted of more than 30,000 Supercharges at more than 2,500+ locations globally.
