"Through the first half of 2025, Tesla generated $2.138 billion in pre-tax income. However, $1.649 billion (77.1%) traced back to automotive regulatory credits given to the company for free by federal governments and net interest income (interest earned on cash less interest paid on debt). President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" will eliminate Tesla's automotive regulatory credits in the U.S.
For a company expected to be a market leader, Tesla has been consistently reliant on income sources that have absolutely nothing to do with selling EVs and its energy generation and storage operations. To boot, earnings-per-share (EPS) estimates for future years have been falling with some level of consistency for nearly three years."
Elon Musk standard playbook has been to speak loudly about future secret weapons. The last was Cybertruck (which is failing miserably", the most recent are the Robotaxi's ans Optimus Robots.
He is beginning to sound more and more like Hitler when the Russian army was surrounding his bunker at the end of the Third Reich. Make believe secret weapons and secret armies.
