Another quarter, and another chance for Tesla’s dedicated investors to submit questions for the Q3 2025 Earnings Call. Tesla’s Q3 production and deliveries absolutely crushed expectations, and were pushed forward by an end-of-quarter rush to take advantage of the expiring US Federal EV Tax Credit.
There’s a lot to be excited about this quarter, with the recent launch of FSD V14 to early-access investors, the slowly expanding deployment of Robotaxi, to the launch of the affordable variants of the Model 3 and Model Y.
The questions this quarter reveal more of a focus on the 'when' and 'how' of Tesla's next phase of growth, with investors demanding more clarity on product timelines and the path to scaling autonomy.
Earnings Q3 2025 Questions
Tesla is fully gearing up for its Q3 2025 Earnings Call, and questions must be submitted to Say no later than October 21 by 4 PM EDT. Below is a list of some of the currently top-voted questions.
What are the plans for new car models? Will Tesla build compact car models leveraging the unboxed Cybercab platform? Will Tesla build a traditional SUV and pickup truck in the Cybertruck platform?
What are the latest Robotaxi metrics (fleet size, cumulative miles, rides completed, intervention rates), and when will safety drivers be removed? What are the obstacles still preventing unsupervised FSD from being deployed to customer vehicles?
What are the present challenges in bringing Optimus to market, considering app control software, engineering hardware, training general mobility models, training task-specific models, training voice models, implementing manufacturing, and establishing supply chains?
What is the demand/backlog for Megapack, Powerwall, Solar, or energy storage systems? With the current AI boom, is Tesla planning to supply power to other hyperscalers?
Can you share the progress of Robotaxi expansion? What cities will be expected to have a Tesla Robotaxi fleet deployed by the end of this year?
Instead of trying to replace HW3 with HW4, why not give an equal incentive to trade in for a new vehicle?

What's going on with Tesla insurance? Will it still expand to states like NY?
How long until we see self-driving Tesla semi trucks? And could you see this technology replacing trains?

Submitting Your Own Questions and Voting
Questions and voting are conducted through Say, a third-party platform that validates share ownership. Once your ownership is verified, you can use your shares to vote, with your vote weight corresponding to the number of shares you hold. Submitting a question initially gives it votes equivalent to your number of shares.
You can vote and submit your questions through Say right here.
The deadline to submit and vote on questions via the Say platform is 4 PM EDT on October 21st.
