Tesla reported Q3 2026 revenue of $28.0B, roughly flat year over year, with GAAP operating income of $718M and GAAP net income of $787M — both down from Q3 2025 — as operating expenses for SI/R&D and the 2025 CEO Performance Award weighed on margins. Operationally, Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles (down 2% YoY) but ended the quarter with its largest passenger vehicle backlog in four years, produced its 10 millionth vehicle, and started Cybercab Robotaxi rides in Austin, with cumulative unsupervised Robotaxi miles growing eightfold quarter over quarter.
