Tesla She sold more cars in the last 4th than always before – yet she recorded another drop in profits. electrical car Manufacturer, headed by Elon Musk, earned just over $1.37 billion, which represents a decrease of 37% compared to the erstwhile year.
The impulse to evidence sales level was the last increase following the completion of electrical car subsidies in the US at the end of September. Many possible buyers wanted to rapidly safe a $7,500 taxation relief that the US president of Donald Trump He let it expire. At the same time, experts anticipate that these erstwhile purchases are likely to halt in the current quarter.
However, Musk stated that autonomous riding and humanoid robots would be the future of Tesla. So far Tesla has launched a robotxi service for customers selected by the company in any parts of the Texas city of Austin and in the San Francisco region. The manager is presently sitting in Austin on the passenger seat. In California, even a man is behind the wheel due to the fact that Tesla does not have a licence to supply autonomous transport services.
Robotaxes and robots
Musk said Tesla would be able to partially destruct the request for a passenger seat in Austin by the end of the year. The company besides plans to launch robotics service in 8 to 10 U.S. cities by then. Meanwhile, competitive Waymo It already has respective 100 full autonomous robotics on the streets of the US and plans to grow internationally, covering London and Tokyo.
However, Musk claims that all Teslas presently leaving the mill are technically ready to drive autonomously. The company is now so assured in its success that next year it will grow production with a specialized robotix model without steering wheel and pedals.
Musk besides stresses that the humanoid robots of Optimus have the possible to become the “best product of all time”. Version 3, the premiere of which is planned for next year, will decision so smoothly that it will look “like a man in a robot costume”. Self-propelled cars and robots will make a "world without poverty" in which everyone will have access to the best medical care. "Optimus will be an amazing surgeon," said Musk. She hopes to start producing robots by the end of next year.
Tesla's stock is falling temporarily.
In the past, Muskow frequently managed to seduce investors with specified visions of the future after average quarterly results. This time Tesla's stock deepened the failure as he spoke. The stock price reached the momentary lowest level of almost 5% after Musk's comments on the “arm of robots” and how crucial it is to make his highest position in Tesla safe.
“If we build this robot army, will I at least have a strong influence on this robot army?” the tech billionaire asked. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable with the idea. In the property trade, the stock has fallen by almost 2 percent recently.
The possible of trillions of wealth
Musk promoted the plan to offer him the possible of a fresh holding that could increase his share of Tesla to about 25 percent. Shareholders will vote on the agreement on 6 November. Musk is expected to receive shares in respective stages if within a decade circumstantial business goals and Tesla stock rate are achieved. That would put him in the way of becoming a billionaire. According to Bloomberg's financial agency estimates, his net assets have late been estimated at $455 billion. Tesla's shares, which he has so far, make Muska the richest man in the world.
Tesla's board plan is not without controversy. ISS and Glass Lewis, 2 influential companies that issue recommendations to shareholders, have spoken against the remuneration plan. Musk called them “corporate terrorists” and pointed out that any funds automatically follow the recommendations of the ISS and Glass Lewis in their decisions.
Trump's duties cost over $400 million
Although Musk always paints an optimistic imagination of the future, Tesla is presently struggling with real problems. These include expanding competition and Trump import duties, which concern not only cars but besides components. In the last quarter, customs cost Tesla over $400 million, said the CFO Vaibhav Taneja (47).
Meanwhile, quarterly revenues rose by 12 percent year-on-year, to nearly $28.1 billion (about €24.2 billion), exceeding the expectations of analysts.

Tesla responds with cheaper options
The question is, what impact will possible purchases have on sales in the current 4th and subsequent quarters in advance. Tesla tries to counter this by introducing somewhat cheaper, slimming versions of models.
“Tesla, erstwhile a top-end company, has long entered the ‘normal’ and hard car market,” commented German automotive expert Ferdinand Dudenhöffer (74), referring to quarterly results. It expects a drop in sales in the current quarter. Tesla has a crucial overcapacity. The company manufactures cars for the European marketplace in Grünheide close Berlin.
