Tesla Inc. (TSLA) will report Q4 2025 earnings after the market close on Jan. 28, 2026. Investors are focused on the company-compiled consensus for revenue and earnings per share (EPS) as management shifts toward AI-enabled services and robotaxi deployments amid weaker electric-vehicle (EV) demand.
Consensus Estimates and Market Outlook

The company scheduled the earnings release and a conference call with Q&A after the market close on Jan. 28.
Street estimates are slightly higher, centering on about $24.8 billion in revenue and EPS near $0.45. For full-year 2025, the market expects revenue around $95.0 billion, down roughly 3.0% year over year, and EPS near $1.63, a decline of about 33.0%. Analysts’ forecasts for automotive gross margins excluding regulatory credits cluster between 14.3% and 14.8%. The company-compiled 2026 consensus anticipates revenue of $104.1 billion, GAAP EPS of $1.47, non-GAAP EPS of $2.03, a gross margin near 17.2%, and free cash flow of about $2.9 billion.
Operations, AI Focus, and Product Developments
Tesla delivered 418,227 vehicles in Q4 2025, including 406,585 Model 3/Y units and 11,642 other models, a 16% decline year over year. Full-year deliveries totaled 1.636 million, down 8.6% from 2024. Production in Q4 reached 434,358 units. Energy-storage deployments set a quarterly record at 14.2 gigawatt-hours (GWh) and rose 49% year over year to 46.7 GWh for the full year.
On the product front, full self-driving (FSD) subscription adoption stands at about 12% of eligible vehicles. Tesla plans to shift the FSD product to subscription-only after Feb. 14, 2026. Optimus robot production has slipped to late 2026. Robotaxi rides are available in Austin, Texas, on a limited, unsupervised basis. Chief Financial Officer Vaibhav Taneja has indicated capital spending will increase substantially in 2026.
The lower near-term revenue and EPS consensus make the upcoming earnings report and management’s commentary on software monetization, robotaxi expansion, and capital expenditures key points for investors assessing whether gains in software and energy storage can offset weaker vehicle volumes.
