Revenue growth was led by automotive sales and services
Total revenue rose $5.74B, or 26%, year over year to $28.24B. Automotive sales increased $4.22B, or 27%, primarily on an approximately 25% increase in cash deliveries, while services and other revenue increased $1.54B, or 50%, driven by used-vehicle sales, maintenance and collision revenue, and paid Supercharging sessions.

Energy-storage profitability weakened despite revenue growth
Energy generation and storage revenue increased 13% to $3.14B, primarily from higher Megapack deployments, but segment gross margin declined to 20.4% from 30.3%. Management attributed the margin decline to deployment timing, a lower average selling price per Megapack, unfavorable sales mix and warranty adjustments. Source: 10-Q Item 2 MD&A, pp.31-32
AI, autonomy and robotics investment materially increased operating expenses
R&D expense increased 49% to $2.37B, primarily due to AI and other product programs, including a $189M increase in stock-based compensation. SG&A increased 45% to $1.98B, including a $283M increase in stock-based compensation primarily related to the 2025 CEO Performance Award, contributing to the decline in operating income.
