Overview

  • Tesla’s total revenue for Q2 2025 fell 12 percent year over year to $22.5 billion and net income declined 16 percent to $1.1 billion.
  • Automotive revenue dropped 16 percent to $16.7 billion as vehicle deliveries fell 14 percent from a year earlier.
  • Revenue from regulatory-credit sales nearly halved to $439 million, undermining a key profitability lever.
  • Tariff-related costs rose by approximately $300 million sequentially and the $7,500 federal EV tax credit is set to expire in September, intensifying margin pressure.
  • Elon Musk warned of “a few rough quarters” and shifted the company narrative toward AI-driven robotaxis and humanoid robots.
