Ahead of Q2 earnings, analysts forecast Tesla will report its first negative quarterly free cash flow in over two years, with cash burn of roughly $3.3 billion as annual capital expenditures rise to $25 billion to fund robotaxis, the Optimus humanoid robot, and Full Self-Driving.
Tesla expanded robotaxi service to Orlando and Tampa and delivered a near two-year high of 480,126 vehicles (up 25% year-over-year), but margins are being squeezed by low-rate financing offers and the removal of upfront FSD purchase fees.
With shares down 18% year-to-date, investors are questioning whether Tesla's heavy AI-driven capex builds durable advantage in autonomy and robotics or is simply outpacing the cash generated by its core vehicle business—a tension directly relevant to how the auto industry weighs robotaxi/AV investment against near-term profitability.
