HIGHLIGHTS SUMMARY
Profitability 9.6% operating margin Q2-2023 was a record quarter on many levels with our best-ever
production and deliveries and revenue approaching $25B in a single
$2.4B GAAP operating income quarter. We are excited that we were able to achieve such results given
the macroeconomic environment we are currently in.
$2.7B GAAP net income
Our operating margin remained healthy at approximately 10%, even with
$3.1B non-GAAP net income1 price reductions in Q1 and early Q2. This reflects our ongoing cost
reduction efforts, the continued production ramp success in Berlin and
Texas and the strong performance of our Energy and Services & Other
businesses.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Revenue Total revenue grew 47% YoY in Q2 to $24.9B. YoY, revenue was impacted by the following items:
Profitability Our operating income decreased slightly YoY to $2.4B in Q2, resulting in a 9.6% operating margin. YoY, operating
income was primarily impacted by the following items:
Other income (below operating income line) was positively impacted by FX movements on certain intercompany balances.
Cash Quarter-end cash, cash equivalents and investments increased sequentially by $0.7B to $23.1B in Q2, driven mainly by free
cash flow of $1.0B, partially offset by other financing activities, including debt repayments.
5 (1) Impact is calculated on a constant currency basis. Actuals are compared against current results converted into USD using average exchange rates from Q2’22.

VEHICLE CAPACITY
Cybertruck - Tooling
At Gigafactory Texas, in addition to the continued success of the Model Y ramp, we
are also working on equipment installation for Cybertruck production, which remains Nevada Tesla Semi - Pilot production
on track for initial deliveries this year. We have made notable progress on yield
Various Next Gen Platform - In development
improvement of our 4680 cell production lines. We continue building capacity for
cathode production and lithium refining in the U.S. TBD Roadster - In development
Installed capacity ≠ current production rate and there may be limitations discovered as production rates
approach capacity. Production rates depend on a variety of factors, including equipment uptime,
component supply, downtime related to factory upgrades, regulatory considerations and other factors.

CORE TECHNOLOGY

Four main technology pillars are needed to solve vehicle autonomy at scale: extremely
250
large real-world dataset, neural net training, vehicle hardware and vehicle software.
We are developing each of these pillars in-house. This month, we are taking a step 200
towards faster and cheaper neural net training with the start of production of our Dojo 150
training computer.

For customers getting a Model 3 or Y for the first time, we launched the “Get To Know
Your Tesla” experience where users can adjust their seats, mirrors, steering wheel, set
up the phone key and learn about topics such as regenerative braking. To help Cumulative miles driven with FSD Beta (millions)
customers discover ongoing improvements in software updates, we now highlight
new features directly in the UI, encourage users to try features they may have missed
and added the ability to search Controls.
We are now testing Cybertruck vehicles around the world for final certification and
validation. This might be the most unique vehicle product in decades; with that comes
trialing and testing new technologies. As far as we know, Cybertruck will be the first
sub-19 ft. truck (fitting into a garage) that has both four doors and 6+ ft. bed. Both
technologically and architecturally, this vehicle will break a lot of boundaries – very
much in line with how we think about vehicle engineering and manufacturing.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
Energy Storage 4
Energy storage deployments increased by 222% YoY in Q2 to 3.7 GWh, another strong 3
quarter due to the ongoing ramp of our first dedicated Megapack factory
(Megafactory) in Lathrop, CA. The ramp of this 40 GWh Megafactory – the first of
2
many - has been successful with still more room to reach full capacity. While energy
storage deployment rate can be volatile due to project timing, production rate
improved further sequentially in Q2. 1

OUTLOOK
Volume We are planning to grow production as quickly as possible in alignment with the 50% CAGR target we began guiding to
in early 2021. In some years we may grow faster and some we may grow slower, depending on a number of factors. For
2023, we expect to remain ahead of the long-term 50% CAGR with around 1.8 million vehicles for the year.
Cash We have ample liquidity to fund our product roadmap, long-term capacity expansion plans and other expenses.
Furthermore, we will manage the business such that we maintain a strong balance sheet during this uncertain period.
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 Cybertruck remains on track to begin initial production later this year at Gigafactory Texas. In addition, we continue to
make progress on our next generation platform.

WEBCAST INFORMATION
Tesla will provide a live webcast of its second quarter 2023 financial results conference call beginning at 4:30 p.m. CT on July 19, 2023 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 installed and equipment sales; we report installations at time of commissioning for storage projects or inspection for solar projects, and equipment sales at time of delivery.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is equal to (i) net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before (ii)(a) interest expense, (b) provision for income taxes, (c) depreciation, amortization and impairment and (d) stock-based
compensation expense, which is the same measurement for this term pursuant to the performance-based stock option award granted to our CEO in 2018. "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 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 quarter’s deliveries and using 75 trading days. Constant currency impacts are calculated by comparing actuals against current results converted into USD
using average exchange rates from the prior period.
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 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. Management also believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to our investors regarding our financial
condition and results of operations, so that investors can see through the eyes of Tesla management regarding important financial metrics that Tesla uses to run the business and allowing investors to better understand Tesla’s
performance. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under U.S. GAAP when understanding
Tesla’s operating performance. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided above.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this update, including statements in the “Outlook” section; statements relating to the future development, ramp, production and capacity, demand and market growth, cost, pricing and profitability,
investment, deliveries, deployment, availability and other features and improvements and timing of existing and future Tesla products and technologies such as Model 3, Model Y, Model X, Model S, Cybertruck, Tesla Semi, our
next generation vehicle platform, our Dojo training computers, our Autopilot, Full Self-Driving and other vehicle software and AI enabled products, our battery cells, our Supercharging network, our energy storage and solar
products and our financing products; statements regarding operating margin, operating profits, spending and liquidity; and statements regarding expansion, improvements and/or ramp and related timing at our factories are
“forward-looking statements” that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, and as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, actual results may
differ materially from those projected. The following important factors, without limitation, could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: uncertainties in future macroeconomic and
regulatory conditions arising from the current global pandemic; the risk of delays in launching and manufacturing our products and features cost-effectively; our ability to grow our sales, delivery, installation, servicing and
charging capabilities and effectively manage this growth; consumers’ demand for electric vehicles generally and our vehicles specifically; the ability of suppliers to deliver components according to schedules, prices, quality and
volumes acceptable to us, and our ability to manage such components effectively; any issues with lithium-ion cells or other components manufactured at our factories; our ability to ramp our factories in accordance with our
plans; our ability to procure supply of battery cells, including through our own manufacturing; risks relating to international expansion; any failures by Tesla products to perform as expected or if product recalls occur; the risk of
product liability claims; competition in the automotive and energy product markets; our ability to maintain public credibility and confidence in our long-term business prospects; our ability to manage risks relating to our various
product financing programs; the status of government and economic incentives for electric vehicles and energy products; our ability to attract, hire and retain key employees and qualified personnel and ramp our installation
teams; our ability to maintain the security of our information and production and product systems; our compliance with various regulations and laws applicable to our operations and products, which may evolve from time to
time; risks relating to our indebtedness and financing strategies; and adverse foreign exchange movements. More information on potential factors that could affect our financial results is included from time to time in our
Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports, including the risks identified under the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 31, 2023. Tesla disclaims any
obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
