Here is a look at Tesla’s key metrics and business segments in 7 charts.

The 30,000-Foot View

It’s hard to overstate Tesla’s revenue growth. In the last 10 years, the company has gone from $1.3 billion in revenue to $94.0 billion in revenue.

Cash flow turned positive in 2018 and really jumped during the pandemic when Tesla increased production AND prices as the entire auto market was undersupplied.

Free cash flow pulls out capital expenditures and you can see the heavy investment in launching and scaling the Model 3.

The Business Breakdown

Gross margins have long been a calling card of Tesla. Below shows the ebbs and flows, including a drop in margins over the past 4 quarters as cost cuts impacted the income statement.

Tesla has nearly gone bankrupt multiple times, but it now boasts $23.1 billion of cash (shown below) and short-term investments.

Any manufacturer aims to generate a return from the assets they deploy and Tesla’s return on assets is over 10%, the envy of every automaker.
