Tesla Set to Earn Nearly $1 Billion from FSD in the Next Year

Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software package has been gaining popularity, especially after the Cybertruck reveal. Analysts predict that the company will soon see nearly $1 billion in deferred revenue from FSD over the next year. Recently, Tesla recognized $326 million from FSD in the past quarter. This revenue is significant because it's very profitable and helps boost the company's overall profits. Piper Sandler, an investment firm, has high hopes for Tesla's FSD revenue. They believe it will keep growing and help the company make more money. The Cybertruck, which has lots of people signing up for FSD, will play a big role in this. In the coming months, the Cybertruck will make up a larger part of Tesla's total sales. The analysts at Piper Sandler think that Tesla will unlock more than $800 million in deferred revenue in the next year. That's about $200 million each quarter. Recently, Tesla's auto gross margin, without considering regulatory credits, was 17. 05%. This was better than expected, thanks to factors like more vehicle sales, lower costs, and the FSD revenue. According to a conversation on X, the Cybertruck also had a positive gross margin for the first time in the last quarter. This trend is expected to continue and get even better. The increasing use of FSD will help improve Tesla's auto gross margin in the next quarter by 0. 3%.
