During the fourth quarter of 2024, Tesla said it earned $2.3 billion in net income on $25.7 billion in revenue. That represents a 1.9 percent increase year over year compared to $25.2 billion in revenue in Q4 2023 and a 70 percent decrease in net income. (The company’s net income in Q4 2023 includes a one-time non-cash tax benefit of $5.9 billion.)

The electric car company run by Elon Musk is facing increasing competition, but investors have focused mostly on the prospects for Tesla’s self-driving technology.

The final earnings release of 2024 finalized another difficult year for Tesla’s bottom line, as its full-year net income came in at $8.4 billion, a 23% decrease from 2023 and a 40% decline from 2022’s record $14.1 billion profit, though its full-year revenue rose $97.7 billion, a 1% improvement from 2023’s record.

Tesla said it sold 1.79 million vehicles in 2024, the first drop in more than a dozen years despite offers of 0% financing, free charging and low-priced leases
