6 terms
Free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow = operating cash flow less capex;"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA 2,814 3,401 4,227 4,154 3,668 30%"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
FSD (Supervised) technical
"Our latest version of FSD (Supervised)1, v14.3, launched in April."
Robotaxi technical
"Launched unsupervised Robotaxi rides in Dallas and Houston in April"
A robotaxi is a self-driving vehicle designed to transport passengers without a human driver. It operates autonomously, using sensors and computers to navigate roads and pick up riders, similar to a taxi service but without a driver. For investors, robotaxis represent a potential shift in transportation, promising lower costs and new opportunities in mobility services.
LFP technical
"Ramp has begun across our new battery and material factories, including LFP cells in Nevada"
LFP stands for lithium iron phosphate, a type of rechargeable battery chemistry used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems. It trades slightly less energy density for greater safety, longer cycle life and lower cost, so investors watch LFP adoption like choosing a durable, affordable tool instead of a high-performance but fragile one; changes in its use can affect battery makers, automakers and energy-storage economics.
Digital assets financial
"Digital assets loss (gain), net of tax, per share"
Digital assets are electronic files or representations of value stored electronically, such as cryptocurrencies, digital tokens, or digital art. They matter to investors because they can be bought, sold, and used for transactions much like physical assets, but exist entirely in digital form, offering new opportunities for investment and financial innovation.

Profitability $0.9B GAAP operating income $0.5B GAAP net income $1.5B non-GAAP net income1 We continued to make meaningful progress on the build out of the infrastructure and AI software that underpins our Robotaxi and future robotics businesses in Q1. We commenced ramp of additional AI compute, new factories across battery and battery materials, and further prepared lines for start of production of Megapack 3, Cybercab and the Tesla Semi. We saw continued growth in demand for our vehicles in markets in APAC and South America, while also seeing a rebound of demand in both EMEA and North America. We are making the necessary investments that will ensure our access to key materials and componentry in each region across vehicle, energy and AI as trade and geopolitics become more uncertain. In recent months, we have announced further regionalization and vertical integration of critical supply chains. Our focus on affordability and utility across our vehicle lineup continues to be a key competitive advantage, particularly as gas-powered alternatives become more expensive due to their reliance on a more sensitive and less flexible energy supply chain. We are excited about Tesla’s positioning in 2026 with tailwinds persisting for the autos business, our continued progress on FSD (Supervised)4, the ramp of Robotaxi, progress on Optimus ahead of mass production and the growth of our energy production capacity. There remains significant effort and hard work to realize our mission of Amazing Abundance. As always, we are focused on maintaining a rapid pace of innovation in new and exciting technologies – such as electrification, cutting-edge software and artificial intelligence – expanding our lead in advanced manufacturing and increasing supply chain resilience to ensure we manage future risk to our scale. The future is incredibly bright.

Battery pack capacity continues to be the limiting factor on ramping our vehicle production, and the team is actively working on initiatives to increase capacity. Other Supporting Infrastructure Gigafactory New York is now producing V4 Supercharging cabinets, which boast 3x the power density and 2x the number of stalls per cabinet compared to V3. Alongside the ramp of Tesla Semi, we are deploying public Megachargers, including our first one in Southern California. While we aim to leverage as much of our existing investments as possible, we continue to build out our supporting infrastructure for our vehicle and mobility businesses, including Robotaxi expansion, across established and growth markets around the world. In Q1, we added over 2,200 net new Supercharging stalls, growing the network 19% year-over-year. This year we look to increase our presence in Japan by doubling our service centers and expanding our Supercharger coverage in the world's third largest vehicle market. 7 Tesla AI Training Capacity Ramp (H100 equivalent GPUs) 0 50,000 100,000 150,000 200,000 250,000 300,000 Existing Capacity Future Planned Capacity
AI5 Tape Out A I & S O F T W A R E Cumulative Miles Driven with FSD (Supervised)1 (billions) AI Software Our latest version of FSD (Supervised)1, v14.3, launched in April. We upgraded the Reinforcement Learning stage of training to better handle “long-tail” edge cases, enhanced the neural network vision encoder for sharper perception in low-visibility scenarios and rewrote the AI compiler to accelerate model iterations as well as the runtime to cut inference latency by up to 20%. These architectural advances will help accelerate our efforts to eventually deploy unsupervised autonomy on both the Robotaxi fleet and customer-owned vehicles. Digital Optimus represents the next evolution of our AI development. We are working on automating digital workloads, building an intelligence layer that will complement the real-world AI we have built to operate vehicles and humanoid robots. AI Inference Compute Coinciding with Robotaxi and Optimus ramps, we are expanding our scope of manufacturing to include semiconductor fabrication, an important step to ensure sufficient and resilient chip supply. Our partnership with SpaceX aims to build the largest chip fab ever: vertically integrating logic, memory and advanced packaging to allow for rapid iteration as we anticipate greater chip demand than what existing and planned industry capacity can accommodate. This begins with the Tesla-owned Research Fab on our Gigafactory Texas campus. In April, we completed the final chip design of our next-generation AI5 inference processor. Automotive and Other Software In April, we began rolling out the Spring Update which includes a new in-vehicle Self-Driving App (AI4 vehicles) – users can subscribe to FSD (Supervised)1, learn how to use the feature and view ongoing stats. Customers can launch Grok by saying “Hey Grok,” and set location-based reminders. Accent lights can now turn red when an object is in your blind spot and your turn signal is engaged.

Once in production, we expect that Cybercab will begin to replace the existing Model Y fleet and will be the largest volume vehicle in the fleet over time. We continued laying the groundwork for expansion of our Robotaxi service to additional major U.S. metros, including testing and permitting, allowing us to quickly launch new markets once we are ready. Our top priority remains safety. We further expanded our unsupervised operation area in Austin and launched unsupervised rides in both Dallas and Houston in April. FSD (Supervised)1 We began moving FSD (Supervised) to subscription-only. Adoption (attachment to new purchases) and penetration (total users among the eligible fleet) both continued to grow, with record net new subscriptions in Q1. A major focus is increasing awareness of the safety and convenience provided by FSD (Supervised) as we evolve our sales strategy to position FSD (Supervised) as the product, with promising early signs. We received approval to deploy FSD (Supervised) in the Netherlands in April, which clears the path for potential approval in other EU countries. We continue to make progress on approval in China. Automotive Services We continue to invest in ancillary services to increase the convenience for our customers while lowering total cost of ownership. With the continued rapid progress on FSD (Supervised)1, the latest version of Safety Score enables every mile driven with FSD (Supervised) to receive a score of 100, enabling Tesla insurance customers2 to maintain a higher Safety Score over time, resulting in lower monthly insurance premiums. The reduction in premiums, in certain cases, can more than compensate for the monthly price of FSD (Supervised). 0 200,000 400,000 600,000 800,000 1,000,000 1,200,000 1,400,000 1,600,000 1,800,000 Cumulative Paid Robotaxi Miles
O U T L O O K Volume We are focused on maximum capacity utilization at our factories. Deliveries and deployments will be impacted by aggregate demand for our products, supply chain readiness and allocation decisions between sale to customers or use for our owned and operated fleet. Cash We will manage the businesses such that we ensure a strong balance sheet, maintaining sufficient liquidity to fund our product roadmap, long-term capacity expansion plans – including further vertical integration – and other expenses. Profit While we continue to execute on innovations to reduce the cost of manufacturing and operations, over time, we expect our hardware- related profits to be accompanied by an acceleration of AI, software and fleet-based profits. Product We continue to evolve and augment our product lineup with a focus on cost, scale and future monetization opportunities via services powered by our AI software. We remain focused on growing our sales volumes through a differentiated and efficiently managed product portfolio, which includes leveraging and optimizing our existing production capacity before building new factories and production lines. Cybercab, Tesla Semi and Megapack 3 are on schedule for volume production starting in 2026. First-generation production lines for Optimus are being installed in anticipation of volume production. Capacity build out and ramp related to our multi-year infrastructure initiatives, including AI compute, solar, battery material and semiconductor manufacturing are underway. 10

A D D I T I O N A L I N F O R M A T I O N WEBCAST INFORMATION Tesla will provide a live webcast of its first quarter 2026 financial results conference call beginning at 4:30 p.m. CT on April 22, 2026 at ir.tesla.com. This webcast will also be available for replay for approximately one year thereafter. CERTAIN TERMS When used in this update, certain terms have the following meanings. Our vehicle deliveries include only vehicles that have been transferred to end customers with all paperwork correctly completed. Our energy product deployment volume includes both customer units when installed and equipment sales at time of delivery. “Net income attributable to common stockholders (non-GAAP)" is equal to (i) net income attributable to common stockholders before (ii)(a) stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, (b) digital assets (gain) loss, net of tax and (c) release of valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. "Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)" is equal to (i) net income attributable to common stockholders before (ii)(a) interest expense, (b) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (c) depreciation, amortization and impairment, (d) stock-based compensation expense and (e) digital assets loss (gain), net. "Free cash flow" is operating cash flow less capital expenditures. Average cost per vehicle is cost of automotive sales divided by new vehicle deliveries (excluding operating leases). “Days sales outstanding” is equal to (i) average accounts receivable, net for the period divided by (ii) total revenues and multiplied by (iii) the number of days in the period. “Days payable outstanding” is equal to (i) average accounts payable for the period divided by (ii) total cost of revenues and multiplied by (iii) the number of days in the period. “Days of supply” is calculated by dividing new car ending inventory by the relevant period's deliveries and using trading days. Constant currency impacts are calculated by comparing actuals against current results converted into USD using average exchange rates from the prior period. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION Consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with GAAP as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement our consolidated financial results. Our non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders on a diluted per share basis (calculated using weighted average shares for GAAP diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP automotive gross margin and free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Tesla’s historical performance as well as comparisons to the operating results of other companies. Management believes that it is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes.
