2026年10月21日，特斯拉公布了第三季度财报。数据显示，特斯拉第三季度的净利润为7.87亿美元，比去年同期的11.1亿美元下降了29%。营收为280.46亿美元，和去年同期基本持平。虽然利润下降明显，但这一结果仍然高于华尔街分析师的预期。
On October 21, 2026, Tesla released its third-quarter earnings report. The data shows that Tesla’s third-quarter net profit was $787 million, down 29% from $1.11 billion in the same period last year. Revenue was $28.046 billion, basically flat compared with the same period last year. Although the profit decline was significant, the result was still higher than Wall Street analysts had expected.
利润下降的一个重要原因来自汽车业务。第三季度，特斯拉的汽车业务收入约为205.6亿美元，同比下降了3%。全球交付量为48.65万辆，比去年同期下降约2%。特斯拉表示，车辆平均售价下降，加上电池供应遇到困难，影响了汽车业务的表现。
An important reason for the profit decline came from the automotive business. In the third quarter, Tesla’s automotive revenue was about $20.56 billion, down 3% year-on-year. Global deliveries were 486,500 vehicles, down about 2% from the same period last year. Tesla said that lower average vehicle selling prices, combined with difficulties in battery supply, affected the performance of its automotive business.
