Tesla has been making waves with CEO Elon Musk launching a political party, reporting a rise in vehicle deliveries but a yearly drop, and opening a showroom in India. The company is set to launch its robotaxi service in Phoenix, Arizona, competing with Google-backed Waymo. Stock is down 23% YTD.

Tesla’s tight vertical integration sets it apart in autonomy and FSD capabilities. The company designs its own AI chips, FSD software, produces battery technology, and oversees a global charging infrastructure.

Earnings per share dropped 40% to $0.27. However, the company improved its cash flow, ending the quarter with $37 billion in cash and equivalents.
