HIGHLIGHTS SUMMARY

Profitability 11.4% operating margin in Q1 In the current macroeconomic environment, we see this year as a unique
opportunity for Tesla. As many carmakers are working through challenges with the
$2.7B GAAP operating income in Q1 unit economics of their EV programs, we aim to leverage our position as a cost
leader. We are focused on rapidly growing production, investments in autonomy
$2.5B GAAP net income in Q1 and vehicle software, and remaining on track with our growth investments.

$2.9B non-GAAP net income1 in Q1 Our near-term pricing strategy considers a long-term view on per vehicle
profitability given the potential lifetime value of a Tesla vehicle through autonomy,
supercharging, connectivity and service. We expect that our product pricing will
continue to evolve, upwards or downwards, depending on a number of factors.

Cash Operating cash flow of $2.5B Although we implemented price reductions on many vehicle models across regions
in the first quarter, our operating margins reduced at a manageable rate. We
Free cash flow2 of $0.4B in Q1 expect ongoing cost reduction of our vehicles, including improved production
efficiency at our newest factories and lower logistics costs, and remain focused on
$0.2B increase in our cash and investments3 in Q1 to $22.4B operating leverage as we scale.

We are rapidly growing energy storage production capacity at our Megafactory in


Lathrop and we recently announced a new Megafactory in Shanghai. We are also
continuing to execute on our product roadmap, including Cybertruck, our next
generation vehicle platform, autonomy and other AI enabled products.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Revenue Total revenue grew 24% YoY in Q1 to $23.3B. YoY, revenue was impacted by the following items:

+ growth in vehicle deliveries


+ growth in other parts of the business
- reduced ASP YoY (excluding FX impact)
- negative FX impact of $0.8B1

Profitability Our operating income decreased YoY to $2.7B in Q1, resulting in a 11.4% operating margin. YoY, operating income was
primarily impacted by the following items:

+ growth in vehicle deliveries (despite margin headwind from underutilization of new factories)
+ gross profit growth in Energy business as well as Services & Other
- reduced ASP YoY
- higher raw material, commodity, logistics and warranty costs
- cost of production ramp of 4680 cells
- lower credit revenue

Cash Quarter-end cash, cash equivalents and investments increased sequentially by $217M to $22.4B in Q1, driven mainly by free
cash flow of $441M, partially offset by other financing activities, including debt repayments.

(1) Impact is calculated on a constant currency basis. Actuals are compared against current results converted into USD using average exchange rates from Q1’22.

VEHICLE CAPACITY

Installed Annual Vehicle Capacity


In Q1, we produced a record number of vehicles, thanks to ongoing ramps at our Region Model Capacity Status
factories in Austin and Berlin. We remain committed to reducing the percentage of
California Model S / Model X 100,000 Production
vehicles delivered in the 3rd month and smoothing deliveries throughout the quarter,
which will help to reduce cost per vehicle, while increasing in-transit inventory at the Model 3 / Model Y 550,000 Production
end of each quarter. Shanghai Model 3 / Model Y >750,000 Production

Berlin Model Y >350,000 Production


US: California, Nevada and Texas Texas Model Y >250,000 Production

Cybertruck - Tooling
The Model Y was the best-selling non-pickup vehicle in the US in Q1. We showcased
4680 cell production at our March-2023 Investor Day; production rate continued to Nevada Tesla Semi - Pilot production

Energy Storage

Energy storage deployments increased by 360% YoY in Q1 to 3.9 GWh, the highest 3
level of deployments we have achieved due to ongoing Megafactory ramp. The ramp
of our 40 GWh Megapack factory in Lathrop, California has been successful with still
2
more room to reach full capacity. This Megapack factory will be the first of many. We
recently announced our second 40 GWh Megafactory, this time in Shanghai, with
1
construction starting later this year.

0
Solar

Solar deployments increased by 40% YoY in Q1 to 67 MW, but declined sequentially in


the quarter, predominantly due to volatile weather and other factors. In addition, the Energy Storage deployments (GWh)
solar industry has been impacted by supply chain challenges.

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 cars for the year.

Cash We have sufficient 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 with an acceleration of software-related profits. We continue
to believe that our operating margin will remain among the highest in the industry.

Product Cybertruck remains on track to begin production later this year at Gigafactory Texas. In addition, we continue to make
progress on our next generation platform.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

WEBCAST INFORMATION
Tesla will provide a live webcast of its first quarter 2023 financial results conference call beginning at 4:30 p.m. CT on April 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.

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 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 capacity, efficiency and output rates, supply chain, demand and market growth,
cost, pricing and profitability, 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 Autopilot, Full Self-Driving and other vehicle software and AI enabled products, our battery cells, our Supercharging network and our energy storage and solar 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.
