Everybody, you're out an hour here and today looking forward to going through Tesla's Q2 earnings report, which we should get here in about 10 minutes if you are joining live. If you are joining afterwards, please check down below. You'll see the timestamps and you can fast forward right to when it earnings come out. And then later today, we will also go through the earnings call. That'll be at about 430 central time. There's going to be a second stream for that. This live stream should direct you right there, but if not, the link is also in the description.
So going to be back a lot has happened since we last spoke. That would have been around the Robo Taxi unveiling or launch, I guess more appropriately, down in Austin. So, haven't had a chance to get back there unfortunately since doing the live stream to discuss that. So, I don't really have any new thoughts, I guess, but looking forward to getting back down there sometime soon, hopefully testing out the expanded service area, which I'm excited to see expand pretty quickly here. I think the more meaningful milestone, of course, will be safety drivers or safety passengers at this point.
When those get removed, I think that's a much bigger check mark. But in the interim period of time, it's really, really nice to see that expansion happen so quickly. Of course, Waymo followed up with that expanding their service area, almost immediately after Tesla expanded. There's an Austin to cover some parts that Waymo wasn't servicing. So Waymo answering back, it's really nice to see that healthy competition. I do have some thoughts on that that we'll go through in a second. But just to take a look, quick at the stock here before we head into close and the earnings report, which should come shortly after close, looks like we're basically flat today.
The markets are up a little bit, so underperforming the broader markets just by a bit. But of course, doesn't really mean a whole lot. The results for today and for the week will really hit on earnings. So we'll keep an eye on those to come. You can talk here a little bit about deliveries and production and quickly run through analyst consensus as well before we get into the actual report. So taking a look at the delivery and production report, obviously this came out a few weeks ago now, about three weeks ago, right at the end of the quarter.
So 384,000 deliveries, mostly model three and model Y. The other model is just over 10,000. This is obviously a pretty disappointing number on the other models line. Basically we hoped Cybertruck would be able to do more Tesla's, I think, had some issues getting the prices down to a level that really can achieve volume in that category for Cybertruck. And then S and X, it's tough. Those vehicles I think compete pretty heavily with model three and model Y and the value proposition on the latter two are just so much better that it, I think, makes it tough to drive a real, any real volume there.
So not surprising on that front necessarily, but hopefully something that Tesla can improve on in future quarters. That being said, we're talking here about, you know, other models, which is a subset of deliveries, which is a subset of one quarters worth of production and deliveries, which is really just a small subset of what Tesla's business is starting to become with the launch now of robots Axi. We've been talking now for, I don't know, the last 18 months, six quarters or so, just about my take as these delivery numbers come out as we get the quarterly results as well.
Really I think the focus is and should continue to be on how quickly and how rapidly Tesla is improving their autonomy and the business around autonomy. And I think we've seen such massive steps forward on that with the launch of the robots Axi network in Austin. I think so far things have gone relatively smoothly. Certainly there have been some areas where the safety passengers have had to do something. Those are always going to still be open to the question of what would have happened if there was not an intervention.
Tesla should have a pretty good understanding of that. They should be able to kind of look at what the software would have been planning to do or certainly put it into a simulation environment and see how the software would have reacted. Tesla's safety passenger is going to be someone there to prevent anything from possibly going wrong. That does sort of also exclude the possibility that maybe the vehicle figures it out itself. So it's always tough to know that's one thing you learn a lot when you remove the driver is how often those things happen.
And Tesla will continue to learn and feel more comfortable as they collect more data and eventually hopefully gets that point pretty quickly where they can remove those safety passengers as well. So a broader point being in the context of these delivering production numbers and in the context of the quarterly numbers that we're going to talk about here today. These are not really the future of Tesla's business. The future of Tesla's business is autonomy and robotics outside of even just vehicles. Doesn't diminish how important these things are to being able to fund those development projects and actually get Tesla to the point where they can deliver autonomous vehicles at scale.
Obviously being at scale on EVs already is such a critical factor for that that no one has that combination of EV scale and autonomy like Tesla does and seemingly not really much of a path to do so with maybe the possible exception of China but outside of China. I don't see anyone that sort of has that combination of ingredients which has sort of always been the case here with Tesla and we've seen the EV business scale.
Now we're sort of on the precipice of seeing the autonomy portion of the business scale as well. So it's an exciting period of time. Unfortunately that excitement is diminished a little bit by what has been a little bit tougher sort of the fundamental part of the business as it exists today with deliveries and production. So anyway 410,000 vehicles produced 300-40000 delivered. It's just looking back at last quarter's earnings report. I guess I closed it out there but Tesla in the first quarter of course had the Juniper refresh with the Model Y, the new Model Y.
So as expected inventory did increase a little bit that quarter after coming off of basically a multi-year low coming into key one and then of course Tesla is going to produce vehicles. It's going to take time to get those vehicles out and get those vehicles sold. How much of that happened in key one? How much of that continued in key two? It's a question that we're going to have to wait on an answer for as we hit it in key three and then eventually get the key three results and see how production and deliveries compare there.
But we now have that inventory build up for a couple of quarters. We should be pretty much fully through the Model Y refresh at this point. So really any softness and deliveries I think we've already started to see some of that from the demand side and I think that's probably likely to continue with the possible exception of Q3. Of course we've got the now what is expected to be the expiration of the US Federal EV tax credit happening at the end of Q3.
So that should pull forward a pretty significant chunk of demand into that quarter and then Q4 may be tough but obviously the US although the biggest market I think would double have to double check that China. But either way a significant portion of Tesla's sales. So that's a factor for both Q3 and Q4 but overall point being here even with the new Model Y I still think we're seeing delivery and demand levels top out below where we had seen them in the past.
So that means Tesla's core business is maybe relatively poorly performing relative to where it has been in the past. But again as long as it continues to bring in free cash flow and provide both funding and scale for where Tesla is taking the business in the future that's although not what you would pick it to be it is still sort of an okay situation.
So that's kind of how I view things at the moment and again that's context for as we go into the earnings report today. This isn't something that you know I'm sitting on the edge of my seat for to see the results like maybe some quarters in the past. I think this is more of just like a period where we're waiting to see what the development and how quickly the development happens with Robotaxi specifically in Austin and hopefully in other locations before the end of the year which I would expect Tesla to reiterate on the call today.
So I'm mostly looking forward to the earnings call to see what commentary what things we can pick up around that which isn't going to come as much from you know delivery numbers or the gross margins things like that which although again not unimportant probably wouldn't be my top point of interest as we head into the report today.
So hopefully that makes sense it's an interesting time where I'm not trying to diminish some of the relative weakness that we've seen compared to historicals with the core business but also not trying to lose focus and excitement on all of the progress and developments that we've seen on what will eventually be Tesla's core business in the future and what they're clearly working towards. All right so we're at market close now.
I do want to flip over just quickly to excel. We can take a look at the analyst consensus is here the consensus here. We should have a couple of minutes before this report comes out. It's usually pretty timely after market close but let me just flip over real quick and we'll just run through these numbers. Which again not something that I think we need to spend a ton of time on. Sorry I'm a little rusty. Control on the stream here. All right so as we do each quarter we'll go through and when the numbers come out we'll fill this in just kind of into the summary sheet. You can see analyst consensus just below 22 billion dollars in total revenue that would be slightly up for last quarter but down versus Q2 last year which of course driven by fewer deliveries down 13% year over year for the delivery number which we just talked about.
Obviously some of that driven by the Model Y refresh. I still think having an effect in the second quarter the question is just how significant had there been no effect with that have been 450,000 I doubt it but maybe something a little bit higher than the 384 that it came in at. 3.6 billion growth profit expectation same sort of margins as the last couple of quarters is what analysts are expecting make sense. Hopefully though as the Juniper refresh happens production gets smoother costs can come down. There should be efficiencies through that and then of course scale as you have significantly more deliveries in Q2 than in Q1. So I'd hope for maybe a little bit better number there but obviously there's a lot of factors that will influence that that we don't have quite the time to go through at the moment because I need to flip back and see if that earnings report is out.
显然,这其中有一部分是由 Model Y 的更新换代推动的。我仍然认为这会在第二季度产生影响,只是影响的程度如何。若没有这些影响,结果会是45万吗?我对此表示怀疑,但可能会比实际的38.4万稍高一些。分析师预计36亿美元的毛利润,将保持与前几个季度相同的利润率水平,这是可以理解的。不过,希望随着 Juniper 更新换代的进行,生产过程会更顺畅,成本能有所降低,因为这会带来效率提升。再加上,第二季度的交付量会显著高于第一季度。从而,也许能看到一个稍好一些的数字,但显然还有很多因素会影响这一点,我们现在没有足够的时间去详细分析,因为我需要回去看看财报是否已经发布。
4.3% operating margin expectations quite about higher than last quarter. We did talk last quarter about how R&D spiked up a little bit which drove operating incomes down. If you're going to have a lower operating income from higher operating expenses I'd be glad to see it coming from R&D. Presumably that is money that Tesla feels they'll get a good return on going forward versus SGNA is more of like a fixed cost of operating the business. So of the two we talked about how that was a little bit better to see. So at an your rate, street expecting a little bit lower operating expenses and then a fair amount better operating margin with the scale of revenue and slightly lower expenses.
We'll get into this. I guess one thing to talk about on just sort of like the bottom line numbers analysts are only expecting about $12 million of impact from the Bitcoin market market. I looked at the analyst consensus. The median there was zero for their forecast. So I think a lot of analysts are just skipping that which is leading to the average being low here. It would be actually quite a bit higher the market market. Last quarter is a hundred million Bitcoin performed well in the second quarter as well. So should see a much more significant number there. That goes into the non-gap net income and non-gap earnings per share which is usually what people are forecasting. So if that does beat that could be one reason. But it would be taken out before the gap earnings per share number. So just something to keep in mind as we get into those.
Alright, let me flip back here and we'll see if earnings are out. Hopefully not quite. Tesla, you can now go ahead with the release if you haven't yet. Alright, flip back to the browser. We'll refresh here. Usually my first hint is some pretty significant movement after hours. It doesn't look like we have any movement yet. And I'll keep an eye on the chat just to see that's usually a good spot to see. Sometimes you guys catch up before I do so. We'll begin the game of refreshing and I'll keep an eye on chat here. If people do have questions let me know. Lyle, thank you for the super chat. I appreciate that. You guys don't need me but I do appreciate the sentiment.
Alright, let's see. Again, Tesla's earnings call will be at 430 today central. That's what I'm probably most looking forward to today. Just any commentary around the business, particularly RoboTaxi and how Tesla views that roll out going. I guess on that note I did say I had a little bit more thoughts on the Waymo expansion. It's interesting that they did that so quickly. It's kind of like a little bit of a head scratcher for me. Maybe it's something they've been planning for a while. I was thinking a little bit more about it and since in Austin, I know this is not the case in all locations for Waymo but in Austin they're only the only way you can get a Waymo was through the Uber app.
There is no standalone app. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this but I'm pretty certain that's the case. There is no standalone Waymo app in Austin which if you think about the meaningfulness of a service area expansion, if you can't actually request the vehicle specifically then it doesn't really mean a whole lot. Because for example, if you're in one of those more remote areas of the expanded service area, let's just say the new area and you're there and you're on the Uber app, the likelihood that you get a Waymo, I think is probably quite a bit less likely than if you're in sort of like the more generalized, general older coverage area.
This is obviously speculative but the point being is that since Waymo has other Uber vehicles to rely on, they don't really need to send their cars to any parts in particular of the service area. They could just let an Uber pick up that ride instead which would obviously happen just based on how the apps work. Tesla having solely the Robotaxi app and not integrating with any other app, not relying on any other drivers or anything like that, if Tesla expands the service area, we got a spike here. If Tesla expands the service area then that is significant, it means that the vehicles have to go there.
They don't have a choice to rely on Uber to get to those parts of the service area. So not a very succinct way of stating this but I hope that makes sense of just sort of the difference in meaningfulness or difference in how important that Geofence is when there is not a specific standalone Waymo app. It's slightly getting distracted here, looks like there's some movement but I'm not seeing the report yet. Let me know if you guys are seeing it. Someone saying it's not out.
Sometimes this will happen too, you just see these random spikes. More frequent though, it's just a matter of my internet being behind. Yeah, do a hard refresh, alright, let's see. Alright, cleared the cache, refreshed, nothing. Oh, that's not doing anything for us. Yeah, I'm thinking that's not out yet. Some of you are saying the same. I think we just... Alright, just seeing some after hours. Movement. I'm on a Mac by the way; people are giving me shortcut tips.
Yeah, so it sounds like Google's earnings are out. Just going off the chat here and that could be moving just generally stocks, specifically tech stocks after hours. See if we can pull that up. Well, looks like they're down but... Yeah, usually Tesla's earnings are out by now but there have been times in the past where it's 15 minutes after close or something like that so... Oh, thanks for our sudden. Aren't you streaming? Um... I appreciate that.
Pretty NBS so far is out because he just isn't Austin so we can just use the... Robo Taxi in day-to-day life, which is awesome. Yeah, I think we're just waiting now. Or still. The second most exciting part of the livestream, second only to me filling out my numbers. On the spreadsheet. Hmm, someone saying audio drops, someone saying that their earnings are out. I never know what to believe with you guys. My biggest fear of livestream days is that something will go wrong technically.
Used to be that I would say something stupid but I think I've said enough stupid things now that I'm not scared about that. There we go. Alright, Q2 2025 update. Let's just take a real quick look at the bottom line numbers here. So 40 cents, 9 gaps, that's very slightly. One penny above analyst expectations, 33 cents gap was I believe above 28 cents. So it looks like the bottom bottom line numbers were pretty good.
Gap gross margin 17.2 so that's up 90 basis points quarter over quarter, which is again also above analyst expectations. Top line revenue also above analyst expectations, gross profit, obviously then as well. Operating expenses those were also above analyst expectations which you don't necessarily want to see that. Those higher expenses but ultimately yielding a similar to expected expected income from operations here. Sorry, I know I was covering a little bit of that. But overall it looks like mostly a beat pretty much across the board.
Free cash though slightly below what analyst expected but that's driven a lot by CapEx which no one can really forecast that well. So not a huge deal. I think the most significant thing is top line beat, margin beat and yielding overall a bottom line beat. So I suspect the stock is probably up a bit but not too much movement yet. So just kind of level setting that again we're going to have to look through see what's driving this. I want to go through the summary as I've made the mistake a few quarters ago or for many quarters in a row.
I do want to look at the outlook section first too because that will drive a lot of the immediate movement here. So let's just keep going down we can check what the outlook section is. Alright, so for volume it's difficult to measure the impacts of shifting global trade and fiscal policies on the automotive and energy supply chains. Cost structure and demand for durable goods related services. While we're making prudent investments that will set up both our vehicle and energy businesses for growth the actual results will depend on a variety of factors including broader macro economic environment. The rate of acceleration of our autonomy efforts and production ramp at our factories sufficient cash will continue to do that.
Profit we continue to execute on innovations to reduce cost of manufacturing and operations over time we expect our hardware related profits to be accompanied by an acceleration of AI software and fleet based profits. I think that's the same languages before and then finally on outlook for product our focus remains on prudently growing our vehicle volumes and a capex efficient manner by using our existing vehicle production capacity before building new lines plans for new vehicles that will launch in 2025 remain on track including initial production of a more affordable model in the first half of 2025.
Which we are now through so it looks like test like confirming that they did start some initial production of a more affordable model. We'll see what they have to say about that on the call but I think that's a good sign that they've reiterated that I'll talk more about that in a second our purpose built robots actually products cybercab will continue to pursue a revolutionary unbox manufacturing strategy and a scheduled for volume production starting in 2026 so believe that part that part is still the same.
On the more affordable vehicles with the particularly in the US with the EV tax credit expiring at the end of the third quarter it probably makes most sense for Tesla to even whether it's delayed from production standpoint or whatever it probably makes sense to shift that into the fourth quarter. Just to maximize the sort of average selling price of the vehicles that are going to have this heightened demand in this quarter and then lower demand in next quarter we talked a lot about demand pockets over the years this is something that creates one of those right it's going to pull forward demand in the Q3 it's going to remove demand from Q4 if Tesla can help balance that out a little bit by not launching a lower cost vehicle in the third quarter in the US and doing that in the fourth quarter instead it just makes a ton of sense.
So that would be what I would expect absent other complicating factors of which there are certainly always a lot of but just wanted to kind of mention that as this is part of the Alex section here but again if they can get production started and stockpile bunch of those cars or something like that or at least work through the initial stage of production kinks I think that's a great first step and then hopefully can really launch that meaningfully in the fourth quarter at least sometimes after that tax credit expires.
So nothing too new on that outlook section I don't think and looks like the numbers relatively strong to expectations so I think you know we're off to a pretty good start here with their what the earnings report again level setting this that this is probably not the most important part of today for me but still good to see stronger numbers than then weaker certainly so nice to see that let's let's go through the summary here.
Q2 2025 was a seminal point in Tesla's history the beginning of our transition from leading the electric vehicle and renewable energy industries to also becoming a leader in AI robotics and related services our first robot taxi service launched in Austin and June while the services limited and initial scope we believe our approach to autonomy a camera only architecture with neural networks trained on data from our global fleet of millions vehicles allows us to continually improve safety rapidly scale the network and it will be a lot of work.
We continue to expand our vehicle offering including first builds of a more affordable model in June with volume production planned for the second half of 2025 additionally we continue development of semi and cyber cab both slated for volume production in 2026 so I think that's kind of confirming what we just talked about there first builds this month they seem to have kept that well under wraps I mean we do have that six feet model why but I don't think that would be the more affordable model that they're referring to here.
I can't see how six feet version would be a larger six feet version would be the more affordable version but you know we'll see what Tesla has to say about that on the call if anything they'll probably try to avoid mentioning that as much as possible for fear of osbarning. The energy business is more critical than ever the available the availability of clean reliable energy is necessary for economic growth and an imperative for the development and commercialization of AI enabled products and services as electricity demand grows our make-up act products helps to increase utilization of existing generation and transmission capacity resulting in a more efficient use of the electric grid.
When paired with solar PV mega pack is cost competitive with traditional fossil fuel generation assets and can be deployed four times faster than traditional fossil fuel plants of the same capacity trailing 12 month energy storage deployments achieved their 12th consecutive quarterly record despite a sustained uncertain macro economic environment resulting from shifting tariffs unclear impacts from changes to fiscal policy and political sentiment we continue to make high value investments in CapEx and R&D volunteering a strong balance sheet.
Our priorities remain the same delivering affordable and compelling autonomy capable models that maximize our global fleet of vehicles as our autonomy software continues to rapidly progress growing the energy business and advancing our robotics efforts. So we can add some of the highlights 900 million dollar gap operating operating income 1.2 billion dollars gap net income 1.4 billion non gap net income cash operating cash low to 1.5 billion obviously a lot of that going towards expanded capital expenditures.
Free cash flow of about 100 million 0.2 billion decrease in cash and investments but still sitting in around 37 billion at quarter end operations launch robot taxes are as an Austin delivered first customer vehicle fully autonomously deployed first mega packs for mega factory Shanghai which is important I did want to mention they did talk about the 12th consecutive quarterly record for trailing 12 month energy storage deployments.
That's a great way to look at it trailing 6 month is probably my most preferred way to look at it that's starting to flatten out but of course that's because the way through facility is reaching maximum production capacity so we are starting to have now the Shanghai mega pack facility come online that should hopefully start to allow that energy deployment line to start growing again maybe as soon as next quarter but if not certainly I would think by the end of next year early or sorry end of this year early next year.
Sorry a lot of noises outside. Alright so we went through I think most of these will come back to these numbers again just kind of reflecting on it a little bit and probably most pleased that the gross margin numbers improving and that the revenue top line number was a beat looks like probably most that coming from could have been all lines let me quickly see what auto revenue was expected from analysts 16 billion flat basically so a little bit of a beat I think on all three of those sub categories.
Now energy sales looks like they had expected quite a bit higher which didn't really make sense since quarter over quarter energy storage deployments were down but typical for the consensus numbers something weird like that. So again we'll come back to those in a minute looking at the financial summary here so total revenue decreased 12% year over year so these are all going to be year over year changes revenue impacted by the following items decline in vehicle deliveries lower regulatory credit revenue reduced average selling price excluding foreign exchange impact due to mix so basically selling more cheaper vehicles less expensive vehicles decline in energy generation and storage revenue due to the lower ASB offset a little bit by growth and services and other.
Profitability operating income decreased 42% year over year to 0.9 billion resulting in a 4.1% operating margin year over year operating margin income operating income was primarily impacted by the following items lower regulatory credit revenue increased op X driven by AI and other R&D projects decline in vehicle deliveries increase in stock based compensation offset a little bit by decreasing in restructuring charges lower cost for vehicle due to mix and lower raw materials partially offset by.
Lower fixed cost absorption and an increase in tariffs plus a did by growth in energy generation and storage gross profit. So this is what I'm talking about when I'm saying the core business is not great relative to where it was historically you can see 42% decline in operating income year over year definitely not the number that we prefer to be talking about here. But you've also got a lot of excitement due to FSD version 13 since Tesla was reporting you know that higher operating income number. last year FSD version 13 I don't think at that time existed and that's been such a massive step forward and has allowed them to start the Robotexy service in Austin and you know when we're sitting here again in 12 months. Thinking about how much progress they've made in that period of time if that sort of rate of progress can continue.
Next year when we're sitting here and talking about autonomy it's going to be a very different picture so I'm very excited about that despite some numbers here that are certainly less exciting than some of the quarterly numbers we've had a chance to talk about at points in time and Tesla's history. Quarter in cash 37 billion as we mentioned slight decrease primarily the results of changes in restricted cash and cash cash used in financing activities partially offset by free cash flow. Production deliveries we talked about leases looks like those were quite a bit down quarter of a quarter year over year. It's kind of interesting that'll change our SP calculations a little bit but we'll figure that out here in a minute.
So global inventory that's what I talked about and increase here again. Up to 24 days and that 24 days is actually more cars because this inventory is calculated based off of the total delivery number for the quarter so when you have a higher delivery number that makes a day of inventory more vehicles. Or sorry when you have a higher sales number that makes a day of inventory more vehicles so then you have more vehicles per day and also larger number of days here. Storage deployed we've talked about mobile service continues to decline again pretty sharply. I don't know if Tesla's maybe completely winding that down or just right sizing it a little bit we'll have to see you know someone to keep an eye on but for the last couple of quarters that has been declining but total Tesla locations continues to increase at a pretty healthy clip there.
Supercharging both connectors and stations both continue to increase as well I know there's a lot of expected volatility but we really have not seen that just based on like the supercharging team and the turnover on that. That really has not come through in terms of the actual deployments so something to recognize as potentially an overreaction in terms of the commentary around that issue at that time so it's good to kind of level set that with the numbers here. Alright getting into their further commentary on automotive we continue to make progress preparing for the launch of additional models this year our entire model lineup is better than ever with recent updates our ongoing focus on supply chain robustness has enabled a resilient vehicle capacity based despite trade and policy uncertainties we produced our eight million vehicle in June.
In the US we had record test drives in North America up 20% sequentially given the recent refreshes in our product portfolio and rapid improvement in FSD supervised its paramount we maximize the number of prospective customers experiencing our vehicles and may the team launch the long range real-wheel drive model Y with 357 miles of range starting under $45,000 before incentives opening the model Y portfolio to put to more potential buyers. That's a nice little statistic not something we usually get from Tesla but up 20% sequentially now you don't know q2 or sorry q1 test drives could have been low for whatever reason in North America particularly if vehicles maybe weren't being as made available with a model Y refresh.
Another way to say if q1 was down 20% versus the prior quarter than up 20% from that lower point not as good so it's hard to tell with just this one piece of context but I guess they do say record test drives here so I'll talk over myself and say that that is still a very good sign for North America in terms of the test drives there. And I do agree with the points here that you know more vehicle more people in vehicles is probably Tesla's best selling tactic just because the product is so fantastic particularly FSD supervised version 13 with hardware for vehicles I don't think I think there's probably people watching this that read about Tesla probably every day that still have not experienced version 13 if you're one of those people go take a test drive.
It's so good version 13 is really so good I think that you need to experience it to really get an understanding of really how much progress Tesla has made with FSD. I've said this a couple of times now I'm over 5,000 miles on my vehicle, my new model three that I got in December. I think I've had one intervention that was like maybe safety critical and it's one of those things where I had to take over because I wasn't extremely confident that it would make the right choice. But that doesn't mean that it isn't possible that it would have made the right choice; it was just an abundance of caution on my part. But yeah, pretty much I don't know 95% of my driving on FSD and it's been phenomenal.
I also take this time to just make a point about this FSD beta community tracker thing. I think it's nonsense; I think people disengage far too frequently just because they're nervous or uncomfortable or their margin of safety is not the same as the vehicles, which is fine for those people, but it's not fine for data collection purposes. I think this 375 miles or whatever is nonsense, and my own experience of having one in 5,000 miles basically gives me like a 99% confidence interval of that, so I'll just passionately say my piece on that real quickly before we move on.
Alright, Asia Pacific. So, Gigafactory Shanghai remains our main export hub and continues to support greater market expansion. We achieved record delivery volumes in South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore. In July, we launched the model Y in India, marking our entry into the world's third largest car market. The refresh model three earned a five-star overall safety rating from ANCAP, achieving 95% in the child occupant production pillar, the highest result recorded to date against ANCAP's 2023 to 2025 criteria. We continue to prepare for broader release of FSD supervised in China this year pending regulatory approval. I think you've probably many of you have probably seen the reports on FSD for Australia; it sounds like that's making good progress and is very close to being launched too, so also excited about that.
It would be nice if Tesla mentioned that in here, but maybe didn't quite make the cut for the footnotes here. Europe in Middle East model Y was the best selling vehicle in Norway year to date. In Turkey, another one, Switzerland and Austria, and in June the refresh model three achieved a five-star overall safety rating from Euro NCAP and is the safest car in Europe based on the latest Euro NCAP test scores. We continue to prepare for the launch FSD supervised in Europe this year pending regulatory approval, which is doing some heavy lifting since I think that's the only reason that it is not released yet in Europe.
Obviously, that continues to just kind of be a bit of a mess with the regulations there; it's very unfortunate especially since Tesla continues to publish the safety statistics each quarter. I know sometimes people disagree with how that's reported; we've talked a lot about that. Some of those criticisms are definitely valid, but it's, I don't know, I think it's nonsense to limit this sort of a system which I think there are very good arguments that it improves safety, and I think there are not very many, if any, arguments that are different. So hopefully, Europe will get that figured out sometime soon here.
Let's look at this annual vehicle capacity chart. I doubt that this will be too different from last quarter, but let's just pull last quarter up here so we can compare. Alright, that's not it; we'll close that. Right, so it's a Q2 100,000 55950 375 251 255. Yep, production, construction, design, development—yeah, so all the same here, no changes quarter over quarter to that table market share. I'm actually glad that Tesla is continuing to provide this chart.
A lot of times what you see companies do, I'm sure Tesla has done this in the past, is very reasonable; nothing to do. But when charts stop looking favorable, generally they sort of make their exit from the materials. Nevertheless, Tesla is still continuing to show this market share number even though certainly in the US you can see that the market share has declined over the last 18 months, less so in Asia; it's more of a flat line situation. Europe also kind of following that same curve, maybe a little bit sharper drop here. I would imagine that's sort of politically influenced at least to an extent.
We'll see how that changes in the future, but I'm glad that Tesla is sort of recognizing this and acknowledging it. Hopefully, in the future, we see these market share numbers revert and then Tesla can, you know, have something to be proud of with that chart. Not that this isn't already something to be proud of even with a decline; it's, you know, what Tesla's accomplished over the years is tremendous.
Core technology, alright, AI software and hardware. In June, we launched our robot taxi service in the first city, Austin, with a safety rider. We will further improve and expand the service. More vehicles covering a larger area eventually without a safety rider while testing in other US cities and anticipation of additional launches. Our efforts to refine the robot taxi offering in Austin are not location specific and will allow us to scale to other cities quickly with marginal investment. We achieved the world's first autonomous delivery to a customer with a new production model wide driving itself about 30 minutes from the factory across town to its new owner's home, including on highways.
We expanded AI training compute with an additional 16,000 H 200 GPUs at Giga Texas, bringing cortex to a total of 67,000 H 100 equivalents. I think that was well. I won't speculate; I can't remember the last number that Tesla gave us on the H 100 numbers. But again, notice that the differences there just newer and video hardware using sort of that 800 equivalents there since the last year are going to be obviously more effective than the H 100s. Here we can see FSC miles on B12 and beyond continuing to scale each quarter.
The math on here looks like that's right around a billion miles in the second quarter added, so it's nice to see Tesla AI training capacity ramp throughout September. Alright perfect, so there we can see we don't have to speculate; you can see just the additions, and it looks like Tesla even did a little bit of a forecast there for the third quarter to add maybe 20,000, 18,000 or something like that H 100 equivalents here in the third quarter, which they should have good confidence and it's not a very far-looking forecast. So nice to see you can see where we were not even two years ago— not a hundred times that but more than probably ten times where we were at that point.
Alright, vehicle and other software cars get better over time. A 2017 model three owner today has access to features that did not exist when the car was built— improved security and safety, increased convenience and entertainment options, among many others, all delivered for free via software updates. We launched the robots taxi mobile app, which leverages existing Tesla app features and provides a seamless customer experience with the Tesla profile. Customers can request a ride, follow the vehicle's location, preset cabin temperature, unlock the car using their phone, have access to their favorite entertainment, and securely pay for the ride with their payment profile.
Now that this is surprising, I mean we all know Tesla can make an app. The app is, I think, quite strong and there’s already been, I don't know, probably five different revisions just in the last month since robots taxi launched to the app that I think have already addressed a lot of the initial feedback that people had. So exciting to see how well Tesla has done that part, and I think at some point Tesla will very likely be best in class or on par with best in class just in terms of the app experience for any sort of ride-sharing.
Battery power training, manufacturing, our lithium refining, and cathode production plants remain on track to begin production in 2025. On showing production of critical battery materials to the US, we are on course to begin domestic production of our first LFP cells for our energy storage products later this year. Alright, energy and services and other see the trailing 12-month gross profit looks like a combination of both of those lines of business and then energy storage deployments trailing 12 months.
You can see this is what Tesla's talking about just barely setting a new record there over the last 12 months, but certainly as we get right at this 40 gigawatt hours of capacity, which is of course late-thru production capacity starting to plateau a little bit there. The next phase of gross growth will then have to come from the manufacturing in Shanghai, and then I believe there's that third one I think in Texas that is under development at the moment, so hopefully that can then keep that growth going after Shanghai sort of reaches capacity.
Right, so energy storage deployments continue to grow. We expand capacity for both mega pack and power wall to meet demand globally. Services and other collection of businesses that mainly supports vehicle sales also continues to grow alongside our global fleet of vehicles. Energy storage deployments once again increased on a trailing 12-month basis, including record power wall deployments for the 5th consecutive quarter. Gross profit increased sequentially and year over year, reaching a record of 846 million dollars.
We started deploying mega packs from mega factory Shanghai as the ramp continues as planned. Regionalizing energy storage manufacturing capacity is critical for meeting demand given shifting tariff trade and fiscal policy globally. For services and other, gross margin profit grew 64 percent. Sequentially partially improved partially due to improved supercharging gross profit generation from increased volume we added over 2,900 net new supercharging stalls growing the network 18% year over year as we continue redefining the vehicle buying and ownership experience. We have integrated AI agents to help resolve customer queries reduce wait times for service and even provide assistance when placing an order for accessories parts and products without having to wait for a person. We are leveraging the same technology in our service technician workflow to help improve turnaround times for service outlook.
We already talked about so I think that takes us in a photos and charts and also go through the process of filling out the financial summary and talk a little bit more about the numbers. So this is a slide or you know a little image map here that Tesla previously released I think in the impact report which came out shortly or earlier in Q3 or then Q2 but just a nice visualization of how Tesla views themselves and views the future relating to Tesla's ecosystem. FSD supervised testing around the world Paris London Sydney and Rome so a little bit of a mention there for Australia first autonomous delivery of a vehicle not a why everything we can tell everything that's been reported and unless this is like a hoax or something which test a Q would love but obviously not the case it sounds like this was just a random customer that had ordered a model why it has a call them up and said you know we're going to do this autonomously if you're good with that and they said yes and I think it happened pretty quickly there and maybe in the next week or something like that.
So pretty cool that it wasn't just like an employee purchase or something like that it truly was just a customer ordering obviously it would be someone that Tesla is comfortable with the route but still cool to see Tesla diner first responders event so obviously the diner just now opening some pretty cool things that Tesla is done there in terms of integrations with ordering being able to order when you're on the way to the station for example I think that features really nice I think that's something that Tesla could integrate with other retailers I suppose or you know service providers of restaurants things like that because that's always something you know if you've experienced road tripping in a Tesla something you always try to do is like time out your food to optimize your schedule and your time for the day.
So if that can be built in similar to how supercharging planning is built into the sort of routing system I think that's great. There's more Tesla diner stuff got the cyber cab there well I just super sorry super charger site in the world so I think I don't know if this is off grade completely but has the capability to be off grade completely with both mega packs and a massive amount of solar here to provide for these 168 stalls just really cool 8 million vehicle there it's like thousand gigabre Lynn and then some of them the charts here which we'll talk through the numbers in a second.
I'll just take a quick look at regulatory credit sales while we happen to be here since that's something we didn't talk about yet looks like that was 439 million so nothing out of the ordinary there even actually quite a bit lower than what we've seen for the last few quarters which I would interpret as a good thing because we already saw that gross margins were better than expected by analysts and these regulatory credits were probably in the ballpark if not lower than expected which means that gross margin strength is actually coming from the cars the vehicles themselves the products themselves rather than relying on what could be fleeting in terms of regulatory credits.
And obviously this has been a hot topic in terms of what's going to happen with regulatory credits particularly in the United States I think people need to realize that these regulatory credits are coming worldwide it's not just in the US so it's not like this is just going to immediately go to zero regardless of what happens in the US so somebody keep in mind on that that part but again these are subject to the political whims so at any time could go away which is why if you're going to see gross gross margin strength obviously you want it to be from the actual sale of vehicles and things like that or from the sale of products versus coming from the car versus coming from the regulatory credits.
But the regulatory credit money is great it's provided at this point billions and billions of dollars for Tesla at this point to expand and grow and get to where they are today and again these are regulatory credits that are getting paid from other companies not from it's not like Europe is writing a $439 million check or something it's coming from other companies that are not meeting their compliance targets so also a good reminder I'm sure everyone here knows that but just just a reminder let's see if we get Bitcoin broken out here anywhere digital assets not seeing it it's probably there somewhere well we'll figure that out digital assets $284 million gain I don't know this is a new line item so this is I don't do my in depth as in depth of forecasting anymore so let's see it looks like it's $284 million gain a lot to figure that out though the reason I'm like hung up on that is I thought it was $97 million last quarter so I just kind of have to go back and figure out if I had a wrong number if Tesla's updated how they're reporting that or something like that.
So it looks like I feel really dumb but this also like lost game thing is tripping me up because it seems like it should be I don't know we'll figure it out as it's happening the spreadsheet that will always help alright yeah and if you have questions let me know I see some super chats here I'll definitely try to get to those before we wrap up the stream for sure and again we're going to listen to the earnings call it's still got about 45 minutes before that that'll be a different livestream so the link for that is in the description it should redirect you there once we wrap this up but for now we'll flip over to excel for everyone's favorite part if I can figure it out I did do more livestreams just for the sake of being able to do them.
Alright we made it alright automotive sales scroll back up here in my browser so that was 16661 regulatory credits were 439 so we'll see the non-gap margin here in a minute energy sales that was 2789 so you can see analysts were 6 6% too high on that's 4% too low on automotive sales and then services and other fair amount higher so you get the total revenue there analysts were 2% lower than the actual total revenue there and you can see how that mixes out average selling price will calculate that in a minute so automotive profit we're just got to take out the expenses here so that's 13 7 9 5 we go to our credits that stays energy profit looks like that was 1943 services and other 28 80 and that should give us our gross profit which matches Tesla's report great.
So you can see gross profit almost $300 million higher than expected that's going to be a combination of the top line beat here which is about half a billion more than what analysts expected and then the higher gross margins as well so again seems seems pretty strong and seems to be the stronger way to get those numbers to not relying as much on regulatory credits which we can see there so this is the best you know second best automotive gross margin ex credit number that Tesla has had in the last year it's been with the exception of q3 last year right around 13% or so 12.5% last quarter now up to 15% that's great great progress in one quarter a lot of that driven by of course the higher delivery numbers and presumably getting costs more under control.
Anytime that you have a new product like the new model why it's going to take a little bit of time to get those processes running smoothly even just simple things as logistics when you have sort of that disruption to your production system it's going to that's going to have downstream effects all the way to the customer while these new systems get put in place so I would hope that we could actually continue to see improvements on that even in the third quarter which of course is going to be affected by the regulatory credit e-v credits U.S.E.B. tax credits so something to keep in mind there energy gross margin also nice little bump there after a little bit of a decline in q4 some recovery there not quite as high as q3 last year but not far off so really nice to see that energy gross margin holding study.
This is one that I do have a question on this would be a really good question if anyone was so inclined but just energy gross margin expectations as regulatory credits and things like that shift Tesla should have a pretty good handle on what the implications of that will be more difficult to understand it externally so maybe Tesla will talk a little bit about that but Tesla is also usually pretty I don't know cards to the chest on things like that so maybe even with the direct question we wouldn't get much of an answer on that one and then services and other another step up there so at the end of the day 17.2% 90 basis points around 90 basis points above where analyst expectations were I could show more decimals here which would make that make more sense.
All right R&D let's throw that in here. It's 1589 so I'm happy. to see that again we did have higher operating expenses and that's not with like some decline in R&D from what was already a high last quarter maybe people feel differently about that but I certainly don't mind Tesla spending more on R&D they've proven to get extremely good returns on that throughout their history so for me that's just a sign that they have things that are worth spending money on and I think that's exciting so S-GNA was a little bit higher 100 and 110 million higher than last quarter but certainly not out of bounds of any range that Tesla's historically been in so operating expenses here so there's no restructuring in other this quarter so 2955 that matches for Tesla. Tesla's number 923 and that yields our 4.1% operating margin so improvement by you know 500 million half a billion dollars here in the operating income line driven by all those things that we just talked about improved girls margin improved top line revenue from selling more cars we'll see what the ASP looked like on those cars in a minute offset a little bit by higher expenses but those higher expenses probably 60 40 in terms of R&D versus S-GNA because we've got about a 180 million dollar increase here 115 million dollar increase here so the larger portion coming from R&D which is a little bit more controllable not that S-GNA is not entirely but again R&D more based on expectations of future returns for the business.
All right EBITDA let's see. So that's 3401. Non-GAP net income 1393. GAP net income 1172. Yeah this Bitcoin stuff man I gotta get my head around this it's affecting these numbers. Should also put them in the right spot probably let's do stock based comp first. Alright so that was 443. And let's see. Yeah I apologize that this portion is not a little bit smoother. So net income gap is 1172 so this should be 1172 so we'll see if this yields that I'm not sure that it will. Well embarrassingly I may not be able to crack the code on that one. If anyone can help me just real quick with that it's slightly confused on that at the moment but we'll put this in for now. So we're 33 cents gap 40 cents non-GAP. I'll just key in our gap earnings here for the moment. Which would be... oh there we are 222. Correct it. Don't understand it but we got the right answer. So I'm gonna flip back to the browser because there's a few of those digital asset lines and I finally found the right one for how we're entering things.
So flip back here. So this is the reconciliation of GAP to non-GAP. This is where that digital assets line comes in. I'm still confused by the loss versus gain. I guess I was just mixed up I think last quarter there was probably a loss and then I was thinking it was a gain and I think that's why I got confused here. 222 of gain but then you take that out of the reduction that you would have from non-GAP to GAP earnings and that's how we're getting to this 1172. So it's basically your non-GAP then you subtract out stock based compensation. You subtract out the loss from Bitcoin. The loss is negative here 222 so that gets added back in which means the gap between these is smaller than it would otherwise be if Bitcoin were excluded entirely. So hopefully that makes sense. Apologies that I had to be confused about it a little bit first before we got there but we did get there.
So let me flip back and we can work on ASP here. One final just comments on that. So you can see last quarter there was like a 15 cent spread between GAP and non-GAP and this quarter it's only 7 cents of spread. It used to basically be 10 every quarter when this was just 0 because the only difference was stock based compensation then. Now you're looking at the sum of these two numbers as the difference. So the Bitcoin that's going to swing how wide this gap is. Just hopefully helpful context. When we're talking about price to earnings ratios that is going to look at GAP earnings. So Bitcoin gain is actually going to help Tesla's PE but it would have hurt at last quarter for example. Because it would have suppressed this gap earnings per share number by a couple cents this time and helping it out by 4 cents. 3.4 cents something in that ballpark.
Long story short it nets out over time but any one individual quarter you're going to get the volatility induced by that. At any rate we're at $1.73 for the last 12 months now on a GAP basis. So I don't know what are we at. I guess I might have looked at the price in a while but if it's still around $3.35 we're going to be at about $193 times price to earnings right now. And that is going to be a little bit higher price earnings than I would have what would have been before because you can see earnings per share gap basis down 21%. So we are at $1.82 before. So price to earnings if we again say 3.35 before it would have been 184 times now it's 193 times right.
So ironically I don't know if ironically is the right way to put it but maybe humorously it's a good example of what I was talking about before we even got the earnings report here is that 184 times earnings 193 times earnings. Not really a significant difference if it was like 8 times earnings versus 15 times earnings that would be significant. But obviously the market is pricing in a lot of future growth for Tesla and a lot of that future growth expectation is coming from what Tesla is demonstrated with version 13 of the software of FSD software with their demonstrating with the Robotaxi initial roll out in Austin and the markets belief you know belief it's a spectrum to market.
But some expectation at least from the market the Tesla will be able to grow this bottom line from autonomy in the future. So the marginal difference that these earnings has on those expectations is marginal. It's just a small small part of Tesla's market cap is what these fundamentals are at the moment for good or bad right like some people are going to laugh at that and think it's absurd and some people take the other side of that and that's the market that gets made.
All right free cash flow so I think that was like 100 million something like that let me flip back. Find that. Sorry for the typing. Yeah so 146 million and again that's just going to be a little bit lower than analyst expectations because CapEx would have been higher otherwise this would have been better just based on basically this well I guess operating income was was pretty similar. So otherwise free cash flow would have been similar if CapEx expectations were correct from analysts but no one is probably spending too much time on that basically they're just going to go off what Tesla's guided and amortize that out across four quarters.
So nothing too crazy on the free cash flow line. All right let's figure out ASP here quickly fill out our table looking for auto revenue from leasing one second. So that was 435 auto cogs from leasing was 228 and scroll all the way back to the top here for actual number of vehicles. 166070. All right there we see it we'll put it in context back up here. So up about $1,800 from Q1 and costs only up about $4,500 from Q1 which is obviously resulting there in the better automotive gross margin X credits which this number is excluding.
Of course excluding leasing stuff there too so this is actually looks like highest ASP and a couple of quarters for Tesla anytime you have a new product that kind of makes sense I think generally where probably pulling in or probably prioritizing deliveries and orders for higher trim vehicles certainly we saw that happen in the first quarter though to you with sort of the launch series I think that was called for the model why maybe some of those still delivery being delivered in Q2. Q1 though you've got the offset of having to work through like old model Y inventory and having to give that away to discount and things like that less of that probably happening in Q2.
So I think a lot of those things obviously have to mix out but mixing out favorably for Tesla here in the second quarter. I would suspect well Q3 again it's going to be made weird by the EV tax credit implications but in the absence of that which is kind of dumb to look at because it does exist and it will affect numbers if that didn't happen I would probably expect ASP to come down a little bit as hopefully volume increases again in the third quarter but I would also expect cost to come down maybe even a little bit faster than ASPs which would then hold gross margins.
Or keep them maybe even improve them or keep them around that same level which is obviously a healthy enough level for Tesla because again I think the most important thing with where the businesses at today is that this cash keeps coming in not necessarily for cash flow but just operating cash flow keeps coming in and Tesla can use that operating cash flow to continue to do things like add a bunch of H200 chips to get a Texas and keep accelerating.
Keep accelerating the progress for FSD keep spending you know a billion and a half dollars a quarter on various R&D projects so you've got what four billion dollars across R&D and R&D and CapEx this quarter and probably will kind of continue around that rate which is really just being funded by sales of these vehicles. So as long as Tesla feels like four billion dollars a quarter is a good number for us and gives us a lot of money. So this is the cash so it lets us make the progress towards what our future business is going to be that's really the priority for me and probably the priority for Tesla at the moment.
All right we got through it four o'clock so we got about 30 minutes so you have to prep a little bit before the earnings call just make sure nothing happens with the tech. You see some super chats here though I want to try to get to as many of these as I can first so thank you for those. Warbird thank you a couple of stickers here Heisenberg thank you. Second one twenty nine thank you. Ben Shippers thanks appreciate that good to see on here. John awesome thank you always appreciate that Scott thank you Geekahawk thank you.
好的,我们已经度过了四点钟这一关,所以我们还有大约30分钟的时间。你需要在财报电话会议之前稍作准备,确保技术上没有出现问题。我看到这里有一些超级留言,我会尽量先回复这些,非常感谢大家的支持。感谢Warbird和你的几个贴纸,感谢Heisenberg,感谢Second one twenty nine,感谢Ben Shippers,很高兴在这里见到你。感谢John,真的非常感谢Scott,感谢Geekahawk。
All right we do have a question here Rob do you reckon auto gross margin is up despite model wire ramp is because of FSD take rate going up. That's a good question I'd. FSD is always a little bit weird because Tesla can also recognize more of that profit now so that actually helps gross margin on a quarter to quarter basis. I don't know if that's changed too much in the last couple of quarters probably something I have to look at to remind myself of but I would imagine that the FSD take rate is probably increasing just because the utility is increasing and the prices stay the same right so that would be my expectation.
The degree of that increase is obviously the huge question I think we're obviously starting from a pretty small base on the take rate so you could have. In absolute numbers a pretty small increase that could drive a relatively large percentage increase in the take rate. That being said I don't know if that's going to be a significant contributor in terms of like those gross profit dollars just because again that take rate is probably pretty small. I can do some math on that I can't do it off the top of my head but to see like what kind of an increase that might be like for example if you go to from 5% to 10% and just one market you just have to look at like the US revenue and kind of do some math on that but my hunch would be it's probably not the biggest factor.
I think the biggest factor here is probably just mix with and Tesla might have well see over your comparison in this shareholder letter. I was just going to say Tesla might have called that out if it was a big factor but again my guess is mix is probably the main driver there with just probably more model wise being delivered this quarter and less old discounted model wise. Jay thank you appreciate that. That will hear much on transactions between XAI and Tesla on this call.
We'll see obviously XAI is posted about using Tesla megapacks maybe Tesla would talk about that otherwise I wouldn't suspect there would be anything to major there in terms of that conversation. All right thank you all for tuning in really appreciate it it's always fun to be back at these times and chat about Tesla overall I guess to just kind of quickly wrap things up and then we'll hop over to the earnings call stream.
I think pretty pretty good earnings I guess maybe let's let's hop back and look at the share price here see if anything's happened nothing. I think when we started I think when we opened the letter it was pretty much right around through 34 so hilariously neutral IV crushing response here. So if you sold any options congratulations in either direction. But I think it kind of makes sense I would lean pretty positive towards this this report I think we saw really good gross margins that were not overly influenced by regulatory credits and generally that's the thing that I'm looking for the most in terms of like the current business and then outlook is probably even more important.
I don't think Tesla set a ton here like there was no big announcement about or moving the safety rider in this quarter or something like that it's nothing too concrete in terms of that which I think people would have liked to see although certainly wouldn't have been my expectation.
And then nice to see them reiterate the more affordable vehicles that that actually did start production with you know initial production in June and looks like expected for sale later this year so I doubt we'll hear too much more on that probably until next quarter to be honest but good to have that reiteration as well.
So overall I think pretty positive we'll go into the earnings call and I think that's where we're going to get more information in terms of maybe some commentary on how Tesla views Austin is going maybe we'll hear some updates on what other markets might be coming soon at what time and those are probably the most interesting developments for now.
