During the fourth quarter of 2024, Tesla said it earned $2.3 billion in net income on $25.7 billion in revenue. That represents a 1.9 percent increase year over year compared to $25.2 billion in revenue in Q4 2023 and a 70 percent decrease in net income. (The company’s net income in Q4 2023 includes a one-time non-cash tax benefit of $5.9 billion.)

By Abhirup Roy and Akash Sriram (Reuters) -Tesla quarterly results fell short of Wall Street targets on Wednesday as financing offers and discounts failed to boost demand for the aging lineup but eroded profit.

The final earnings release of 2024 finalized another difficult year for Tesla’s bottom line, as its full-year net income came in at $8.4 billion, a 23% decrease from 2023 and a 40% decline from 2022’s record $14.1 billion profit, though its full-year revenue rose $97.7 billion, a 1% improvement from 2023’s record.

Tesla said it sold 1.79 million vehicles in 2024, the first drop in more than a dozen years despite offers of 0% financing, free charging and low-priced leases
