Tesla has an earnings call today. Gross profit was over $5.0 billion versus consensus at $4.15 billion. Tesla is trading up 2-3% in after hours on the earnings deck.
3 pages out of 11 pages of the meat of the Tesla deck are now AI, robotaxi, FSD pages. 1 page of summary, 4 pages of financials and operational numbers. Really 3 out of 4 pages highlighting what the company is really doing. only one is regular automotive and manufacturing and those pages have robotics too on one page and ai training compute leads the support infrastructure. The quarterly deck finally reflects Tesla as more than a car company. Forcing analysts to analyze Tesla that way
Robotaxi and FSD are in the quarterly deck.
Screenshot – Highest quarterly energy storage deployments, driven by record Megapack deployments
– Total gross profit = $1.1 billion, marking our 5th consecutive record quarter!
– Megapack 3 & Megablock production starting at Megafactory Houston this year
– In 2025, Powerwall network supported more than 89k Virtual Power Plant events across >1 million installed units, saving homeowners >$1 billion in electricity bills
Robotics
– Planning to unveil Optimus Gen 3 in Q1 this year, our first design meant for mass production
– Start of production planned by end of 2026, with eventual planned capacity of 1 million robots/year
AI Training Compute
– Currently building Cortex 2 at Giga Texas to further increase our AI training compute capacity
– In the first half of 2026, we’re planning to more than double the size of onsite compute in Texas (in terms of H100 equivalents)
Battery
– Our lithium refinery started pilot production. It is the first spodumene to lithium hydroxide refinery in North America, with a simpler, cheaper & more environmentally friendly process
– Started producing battery packs for certain Model Ys with our 4680 cells, unlocking an additional vector of supply
– We now produce dry electrode for 4680 cells with both anode + cathode made in Austin
– We expect both domestic cathode material in Austin & LFP lines in Nevada to begin production this year
AI Software
– Shipped latest version of FSD Supervised (V14), which will drive you to your destination, find a free spot & park
AI Inference Compute
– Development of our in-house, custom designed AI5 & AI6 inference chips for autonomy progressed during Q4, with production planned for 2027 & 2028 respectively
– Targeting a 50x improvement for AI5 compared to AI4, thanks to 10x raw compute, 9x memory capacity & 5x hardened block quantization & softmax function (= enabling efficient low precision computing without sacrificing model accuracy)
