A Record-Breaking Quarter in Production and Deliveries
Tesla’s performance in the fourth quarter of 2023 is nothing short of extraordinary. The company achieved a new production pinnacle, manufacturing a staggering 494,989 vehicles and delivering 484,507 units during this period. These numbers not only demonstrate Tesla’s prowess in scaling production but also underline its ability to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles.
Full Year 2023: A Year of Achievements
Zooming out to the entire fiscal year 2023, Tesla’s production and delivery figures continue to impress. With a total production of 1,845,985 vehicles and deliveries reaching 1,808,581, the year marked a significant stride forward. This not only reinforces Tesla’s market dominance but also solidifies its position as a key player in the global automotive landscape.
Revenue Insights: Meeting Projections with a Slight Dip
In the financial realm, total revenue for Q4 stands at an impressive $25.1 billion. However, it’s worth noting that this figure is slightly below the unified analyst consensus, which anticipated $25.7 billion. Automotive revenues, a crucial component of Tesla’s income stream, settled at $21.5 billion, just under the projected $21.7 billion. While the difference may seem marginal, it sparks discussions about market expectations and Tesla’s ability to align with them.
Earnings Per Share: Navigating the Numbers
The earnings per share (EPS) narrative adds an intriguing layer to the financial story. Tesla’s non-GAAP EPS for Q4 2023 is reported at $0.71, a tad lower than the anticipated $0.73. On the other hand, the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) EPS is listed at an impressive $2.27, surpassing Wall Street’s estimate of $0.59. This divergence in numbers invites a closer examination of Tesla’s accounting methods and the broader implications for investors.
