Tesla's market cap fell below $1 trillion, but it still reflects investors' assumptions of enormous future growth.

Tesla revenue slipped 12% year over year in the second quarter of 2025, the company's July 23 earnings release showed. The Elon Musk -helmed electric car manufacturer took in $22.5 billion in revenue, down from $25.50 billion in the second quarter of 2024. It is the company's largest revenue drop in over a decade, according to Reuters.

Tesla’s battery business has been feeling the pain, too. For a while, this was a growth area for the company, albeit one with a relatively minor contribution to the bottom line. During Q2 2025, Tesla’s energy generation and storage division brought in $2.8 billion in revenue, a 7 percent decline from the same period in 2024.

Tesla (TSLA) reported a slight earnings and revenue miss in the second quarter but said its "more affordable" model was still slated for production in the second half of 2025. Tesla reported second quarter revenue of $22.

General Motors says it lost more than $1 billion in the second quarter because of U.S. tariffs. Stellantis lost more than double that in the first half of the year and blamed a sizeable chunk of that on tariffs, as well.

Tesla reported Q2 2025 revenue of $22.5-billion and adjusted EPS of $0.40, roughly in line with consensus but slightly below Roth’s estimates of $23.6-billion and $0.41. Non-GAAP auto gross margins came in strong at 15.

Tesla’s Q2 sales decline is its worst this decade, but there is one bright spot. The company's energy storage business is quietly booming.

ET with analyst reactions Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) are straddling the flatline in postmarket trading as the company’s second quarter results were not as bad as Wall Street expected and avoided a second consecutive top- and bottom-line miss with profits in-line with expectations.
