American electric vehicle major Tesla has reported record revenue and free cash flow for the Q3 CY2025, supported by high vehicle deliveries and energy storage deployments.

The electric vehicle maker posted total revenue of USD 28.1 billion, a 12 percent increase YoY. Free cash flow reached nearly USD 4 billion, which the company states is its highest.

Total vehicle deliveries reached 497,099 in the quarter, a 7 percent YoY growth. Deliveries of the Model 3 and Model Y rose by 9 percent to 481,166 units. Energy storage deployments were a record 12.5 gigawatt hours (GWh), up 81 percent YoY.

Gross Margin stood at 18 percent, a drop of 185 basis points from the previous year. Gross profit was USD 5.1 billion, up 1 percent.

Operating income fell 40 percent YoY to USD 1.6 billion, resulting in a 5.8 percent operating margin. This decline was due to increased operating expenses, which rose 50 percent YoY to USD 3.4 billion, alongside higher average vehicle costs and a shift in sales mix. Lower regulatory credit revenue also impacted profitability.

Net income attributable to common stockholders reached USD 1.4 billion, a 37 percent drop. Cash, cash equivalents and investments increased by USD 4.9 billion to USD 41.6 billion.

During the quarter, Tesla expanded its vehicle range, launching the Model 3 and Model Y Standard variants. The company also launched the Model Y Performance and the Model YL in China, a longer six-seat version.

In the energy sector, Tesla unveiled Megapack 3 and Megablock, its next-generation industrial storage products. Production for Megapack 3 is scheduled to begin at Megafactory Houston in 2026. The company also launched a new lease offer in the US for solar and Powerwall systems.

Tesla launched its ride-hailing service in the Bay Area using Robotaxi technology and began deploying version 14 of FSD (Supervised) in October. The Supercharger network expanded by over 3,500 stalls in the quarter, an 18 percent YoY growth and it launched its first v4 Supercharger cabinets.

“While we face near-term uncertainty from shifting trade, tariff and fiscal policy, we are focused on long-term growth and value creation. We are prudently making the necessary investments in our business, including future business lines, that we believe will drive incredible value for Tesla and the world across transport, energy and robotics,” the company said in a statement.

Tesla indicated that Cybercab, Tesla Semi and Megapack 3 remain on schedule for volume production starting in 2026. Production lines for Optimus, the humanoid robot, are being installed in anticipation of volume production. The lithium refinery in Texas is expected to begin production in Q4 2025.
