The business, run by billionaire Elon Musk, anticipates a $7 billion to $9 billion loss for 2024 to 2025. That range's average value is $1 billion more than the $6 to $8 billion average estimate for this year.

A $3.6 billion expansion of the Nevada Gigafactory complex will contribute to some of the expense. In addition to a 4680 cell plant that will be able to generate enough batteries for 2 million passenger vehicles annually, the business is also constructing a plant there to mass-produce the eagerly anticipated Semi truck.

While struggling with the high cost of ingredients like lithium for batteries, Tesla is also increasing production at facilities in Berlin and Austin, Texas.
