Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Here are 3-5 expected drivers of future revenue growth for Tesla (TSLA) over the next 2-3 years:

1. Expansion of Autonomous Driving (FSD) and Robotaxi Services: Tesla anticipates significant revenue growth from the increasing adoption of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software and the rollout of its Robotaxi service. FSD adoption rates in North America have shown an uptick, particularly since the release of version 12. The company launched its commercial Robotaxi service in Austin in the second quarter of 2025, with ambitious plans to expand coverage to half of the U.S. population by year-end, pending regulatory approvals. The Cybercab is also projected to reach volume production in 2026.

2. Introduction of More Affordable Vehicle Models: Tesla plans to introduce more affordable vehicle models, with production for lower-cost models starting in the first half of 2025. This initiative aims to drive a substantial increase in vehicle sales, with an estimated 20% to 30% vehicle sales growth projected for the next year.

3. Growth in Energy Generation and Storage Business: The energy storage sector, including Megapack and Powerwall products, continues to be a robust growth area for Tesla. The company reported strong demand and significant growth in this segment, with energy generation and storage revenue soaring 44% year-over-year in Q3 2025. Tesla expects at least 50% growth in energy storage deployments year-over-year in 2025. The scaling of operations at facilities like the Lathrop Megafactory and a new facility in Shanghai supports this growth.

4. Development and Production of Optimus Humanoid Robot: Tesla is making strides in its robotics initiatives, with prototypes of the Optimus humanoid robot expected within three months of Q2 2025 and plans to start production early next year.

In early 2021, Tesla made a significant investment of $1.5 billion in Bitcoin.
Recent acquisitions include Wiferion in July 2023 and Dacia Romania in December 2022, both for undisclosed values.
Tesla acquired Siilion in November 2021 and ATS Automation Tooling System in October 2020, both for undisclosed amounts.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures consistently increased from $3.232 billion in 2020 to $11.342 billion in 2024.
For 2025, Tesla initially projected capital expenditures to surpass $11 billion, but later reduced the forecast to above $9 billion.
These expenditures primarily focus on developing and ramping new products, building and expanding manufacturing facilities across continents (including Gigafactory expansions and plans for Mexico), advancing battery cell technologies, expanding the Supercharger network, and investing in autonomy and AI-enabled products and training.
