Tesla Inc. is set to report its Q1 2025 earnings after market close today, with Wall Street bracing for a closely watched update from the EV leader. The company has faced significant headwinds, including declining sales and political backlash tied to CEO Elon Musk’s affiliation with the Trump administration’s economic task force. Still, shares rallied ahead of earnings, buoyed by optimism around upcoming product launches and potential guidance.

Industry Overview
Tesla’s Q1 earnings come at a critical moment. Analysts expect earnings of $0.41 per share and revenue near $21.3 billion—relatively flat year-over-year. The stock, down more than 40% year-to-date, has struggled with declining deliveries and growing competitive pressure. Protests at Tesla dealerships have also added a layer of reputational risk ahead of today’s call.
Investors will be watching closely for updates on the company’s roadmap, including the anticipated lower-cost Model Y and a robotaxi service set to launch this summer in Austin, Texas. Musk has teased that more details could be unveiled during the call.
Other EV players also showed signs of life in trading today. Rivian and Lucid, which both recently reported Q1 production and delivery figures, saw modest gains. Rivian produced 13,588 vehicles and delivered 12,750, while Lucid produced 1,406 and delivered 1,967 vehicles in the quarter.
Chinese automakers Nio and Xpeng also gained ground after announcing strong delivery growth. Nio delivered over 42,000 vehicles in Q1, a 40% jump year-over-year. Xpeng’s earnings are expected in late May, and its momentum has been helped by expanding sales and optimism around autonomous driving capabilities.
Meanwhile, BYD posted one of the strongest performances today, rising nearly 7% on expectations of a triple-digit profit increase for Q1. The company sold over 1 million new energy vehicles during the quarter, maintaining its stronghold on the Chinese EV market.
Conclusion
As Tesla prepares to release results after the bell, the broader EV sector appears to be stabilizing after months of volatility. The industry’s near-term outlook will hinge not only on Tesla’s earnings and guidance but also on how legacy automakers and international competitors like BYD navigate the rapidly shifting market landscape. Investors will be looking for signs of sustained demand, pricing power, and innovation—factors that could dictate which players lead the next phase of EV growth.
