Focus on clarity: “Here’s what happened… here’s why it matters.” Music / Sound: Upbeat but serious — subtle tech/finance vibe.

What’s next for Tesla?

Tesla posted $28.1 billion in Q3 revenue, marking an all-time high and exceeding analyst forecasts.

Adjusted EPS landed at $0.50, missing the approximately $0.54 estimate, while operating income dropped about 40 percent year-over-year.

Tesla’s stock fell roughly 2 to 4 percent after hours following the earnings release.

Headwinds are mounting: tariffs, rising manufacturing costs, and reduced regulatory credits are squeezing margins.

Looking ahead, Tesla plans cheaper Model 3 and Model Y variants, aims to launch robotaxi service in 8 to 10 metros by year-end, and is advancing the Optimus humanoid robot.

These moves could help improve margins and drive future growth.
