SUMMARY
In 2023, we delivered over 1.2 million Model Ys, making it the best-selling vehicle,
of any kind, globally. For a long time, many doubted the viability of EVs. Today, the
best-selling vehicle on the planet is an EV.
Free cash flow remained strong in 2023 at $4.4B, even as we focused on future
growth projects with our highest capital expenditures and R&D expenses in
company history.
Energy storage deployments reached 14.7 GWh in 2023, more than double
compared to the previous year, while Energy Generation and Storage business
profits nearly quadrupled in 2023. Gross profit of our Services & Other business
increased from a ~$500M loss in 2019 to a $500M profit in 2023.
Cost of goods sold per vehicle5 declined sequentially in Q4. Our team remains
focused on growing our output, investing in our future growth and finding
additional cost efficiencies in 2024.
In late December, we started rolling out V12 of FSD Beta6. Trained on data from a
fleet of over a million vehicles, this system uses Al to influence vehicle controls
(steering wheel, pedals, indicators, etc.) instead of hard-coding every driving
behavior. V12 marks a new era in the path to full autonomy.
We are focused on bringing the next generation platform to market as quickly as
we can, with the plan to start production at Gigafactory Texas. This platform will
revolutionize how vehicles are manufactured.
