Tesla reported a record number of vehicle deliveries in Q3 2025, with 497,099 cars shipped, resulting in $21.2 billion in automotive revenue. However, the company's profit of $1.4 billion was 37% lower than the same quarter last year, primarily due to a 50% increase in operating expenses and tariffs impacting profitability. The rise in expenses was attributed to investments in AI and R&D, alongside restructuring charges of nearly $240 million, possibly linked to the discontinuation of the Dojo supercomputer project. As Tesla faces pressure to maintain growth, the company is introducing cheaper versions of its Model 3 and Model Y to boost sales. CEO Elon Musk's broader vision for Tesla includes developing a network of self-driving vehicles and the humanoid robot, Optimus, although details on these initiatives remain sparse.
