Oct 21, 4:41pm ET

EPS

Revenue

$28.05B

est $28.02B +0.1%

The beat is real but thin: GAAP operating income fell 56% to $718 million as R&D spending on autonomy, Optimus and AI compute climbed. Battery supply capped deliveries, leaving the largest passenger vehicle backlog in four years. Margins are now the price of the robotics bet.

Revenue

est $63.39B +1.9%

A $9.89 billion teen mental health settlement charge sits inside the quarter, and excluding it diluted EPS would have been $7.40, so the EPS miss is a legal bill rather than a business problem. Revenue beat consensus by 1.9%, and management guided Q4 revenue to $73 billion to $76 billion.
