Tesla's total revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $28.046 billion, essentially flat compared with the same period last year, while net profit was $787 million, down 43% year over year. Musk said on the call that the company is making every effort to push for FSD approval in more markets and hopes to obtain EU-wide approval in the first quarter of 2027, while CFO Taneja said the company is working hard to secure FSD approval in China. Tesla has begun early production of Optimus at its Fremont factory in California; Musk said it may take a year or slightly longer to reach a production rate of 20,000 units per week, and the company plans to integrate the AI5 chip into the robot before April next year.
