All right. I think the deck is out. I'll cut it. Let's see. The market doesn't like it. 365. Let's see what's in the deck. Okay. All right. We got $400 million in GAAP operating income. $1.1 billion GAAP net income. $1.2 billion non-GAAP net income.

SPEAKER_08 2:17

Operating cash flow of $4.7 billion. Free cash flow of negative $1.1 billion. And a $1.2 billion decrease in our cash and investments. Record Q2 vehicle deliveries. Launched RoboTaxi in three cities in July. Began production of CyberCab.

SPEAKER_08 2:42

Q2 is a strong quarter for our core vehicle energy and services businesses, as well as manufacturing, infrastructure, and AI initiatives. Tesla generated over $100 billion in revenue on a trailing 12-month basis for the first time.

Progress also continued on our battery capacity expansion. Megafactory Texas is nearing completion with the start of production planned for this year. FSD penetration continues to grow with more customers opting for subscription.

5Tesla’s $100B Era: Scaling Robotaxis, Optimus, and Energy Infrastructure

Tesla’s Q2 2026 results are in, and the shift from ‘car company’ to ‘AI powerhouse’ is no longer just talk. From record FSD adoption to the massive scale of Optimus, the roadmap for the next era of Tesla is becoming crystal clear.

The numbers tell a story of aggressive reinvestment. While high CapEx led to negative free cash flow this quarter, it’s a deliberate move into RoboTaxi infrastructure and AI compute. With $43.5B in cash, Tesla is positioned to spend its way into the future.

FSD is becoming a massive recurring revenue engine. 1.48M paid subscriptions are already live, with 55% of new North American orders now including FSD.

RoboTaxi & CyberCab: the vision is moving toward vertical integration. With a 125k unit production capacity and a focus on ‘march of nines’ reliability, Tesla is building a fleet designed to operate autonomously in a city-by-city rollout starting in 2027.
