According to CoinMeta, as reported by Cailian News on October 22, Tesla's total capital expenditure in the third fiscal quarter reached $4.73 billion, far below Wall Street's consensus forecast of $7.95 billion. This funding was intended to support Tesla's strategic transformation towards core business areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous driving. Currently, Tesla's entire business is supported by just three models, and the company is also advancing potential mergers with SpaceX. Both parties have established special committees to evaluate these transactions. Tasha Kini, Director of Investment Analysis at Ark Invest, stated that robotaxi's autonomous taxis represent Tesla's future core focus. Compared to Waymo's next-generation models, Tesla's Cybercab has a significant operational cost advantage and is in a leading position within the industry. Tesla's adjusted earnings per share in the third quarter were 48 cents, exceeding the market's average expectation of 44 cents, indicating better-than-expected profit performance.
