Tesla Reports Record Revenue, Deliveries in Q4 2022

  • Tesla’s total revenue stood at $24.3 billion in Q4 2022 with 37% YoY growth.
  • Tesla deployed 2.46 GWh of energy storage during Q4, a growth of almost 152% YoY.
  • Tesla’s vehicle deliveries are expected to exceed 1.7 million units globally in 2023.

Riding on record 405,278 vehicle deliveries in Q4 2022, Tesla registered a record total revenue of $24.3 billion during the quarter, an increase of 37% YoY. Deliveries rose 31.3% YoY in Q4, bringing the 2022 annual total to 1.3 million units. The US was the leading market in Q4, followed by China and Europe. The annual deliveries of Tesla’s premium Model X and Model S grew 167% YoY to reach 66,000 units.

Tesla’s sales in China fell short of expectations again due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Production at the Shanghai factory, which exported more than 106,000 units in Q4, was halted during the last week of December. Although no specific reason was stated officially, rising COVID-19 cases among workers were a likely cause for the unexpected production halt. On the other hand, the weekly Model Y production in the Berlin factory touched 3,000 units. The rising production in Germany has helped Tesla gain a strong grip on Europe’s EV market. The Model Y remained Europe’s top-selling car model during November and December. Tesla’s in-house 4680 cell production rate also reached 1,000 cars per week.

Financial summary

  • Tesla’s total revenue during Q4 2022 stood at $24.3 billion, an increase of 37% YoY. The company generated more than $20 billion from automotive sales. During Q4, the widespread release of Tesla’s full self-driving (FSD) feature generated $0.32 billion in revenue, indicating that the company is striving to increase the proportion of software revenue in its overall product mix.
  • Revenue from Tesla’s other businesses like energy storage, solar panel deployment, charging and vehicle servicing grew by almost 72% YoY to exceed $3 billion. Other businesses contributed 12% of Tesla’s Q4 revenue.
  • Tesla deployed 2.46 GWh of energy storage during Q4. At 151.7%, it saw the highest YoY growth till now.
  • Tesla’s total revenue for 2022 exceeded $81.4 billion, a 51% YoY growth.
  • During Q4, gross profit also increased by 19% YoY and stood at $5.7 billion. In October, Tesla reduced vehicle prices in China after increasing them a couple of times during H1 2022. Initially, it was thought the increase in demand would make up for the price cut but the negative foreign exchange impact restricted further gross profit growth.
  • Tesla’s inventory in Q4 stood at 34,423 units, bringing the annual total to 55,760 units. The COVID-19 outbreak in China and the increased production in the Berlin factory are probable causes of the higher inventory. In addition, Tesla is facing stiff competition as legacy automakers and new players are offering more affordable EVs. In January 2023, Tesla lowered prices globally, which may help in clearing out inventories and achieving economies of scale.

Tesla production and deliveries, Q4 2021-Q4 2022 Counterpoint Research

Outlook

Tesla’s strong fundamentals are expected to keep the company ahead of most other electric vehicle brands globally. Tesla announced price cuts in January 2023, which has resulted in the demand ballooning to twice the production. Besides, pilot production of the Tesla Semi began in 2022 and the vehicle is expected to hit the road soon. The company also plans to start production of the Cybertruck in mid-2023. Furthermore, Tesla recently announced an investment of $3.6 billion to set up a 100GW capacity cell factory and a high-volume semi factory. Tesla’s 2023 vehicle deliveries are projected to exceed 1.7 million units, with a 31% YoY growth. This seems attainable if the company’s recent price cuts remain in effect for most of the year.
