Tesla’s financial success now relies on more than car sales. This sets it apart from companies like Volkswagen and General Motors, which are struggling with high costs and low demand. In the third quarter, Tesla sold $20 billion worth of vehicles and reduced production costs.
However, a lot of profit came from selling carbon credits and its expanding battery and solar panel business. These areas boost Tesla’s revenue and stock value. Currently, Tesla is valued at $750 billion. This reflects investor confidence not just in its cars, but also in Elon Musk’s broader vision.
This vision includes projects like self-driving robotaxis and the humanoid robot, Optimus. So, Tesla’s market value is more about faith in Musk’s innovative plans than just car sales profits.
