Key Tesla financial performance recap

Tesla’s recent results indicate a mixed picture. Q2 2025 revenue came in at $22.5bn, slightly ahead of forecasts, while earnings per share (EPS) of $0.40 were in line with expectations. In Q1, the company withdrew its full-year 2025 growth outlook, citing “evolving trade policies” and “uncertain macroeconomic conditions”.

Recent performance highlights:

  • Q2 2025: 384,122 vehicle deliveries (-13.5% year-on-year).
     
  • Revenue of $22.5bn (-12% year-on-year).

Q3 2025 Delivery Expectations

Some analysts suggest Q3 could be Tesla’s strongest quarter in recent years. UBS has raised its delivery forecast from 431,000 to 475,000 vehicles, citing strong US demand linked to the expiring $7,500 EV tax credit, which ends on 30 September 2025. Some projections indicate deliveries could exceed 500,000 units, setting a new quarterly record (AInvest, 24 September 2025).
