Exhibit 99.1

Tesla Third Quarter 2018 Update • GAAP net income of $312M, non-GAAP net income of $516M • Operating income of $417M and operating margin of 6.1% • Free cash flow of $881M supported by operating cash flow of $1.4B • $3.0B of cash and cash equivalents at Q3-end, increased by $731M in Q3 • Model 3 GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin > 20% in Q3 • Reaffirm expectation of continued GAAP net income and free cash flow in Q4

Q3 2018 was a truly historic quarter for Tesla. Model 3 was the best-selling car in the US in terms of revenue and the 5th best-selling car in terms of volume. With average weekly Model 3 production through the quarter (excluding planned shutdowns) of roughly 4,300 units per week, we achieved GAAP net income of $312 million. We also delivered on our internal cost efficiency targets, leading to GAAP Model 3 gross margin of more than 20%, which exceeded our guidance. Finally, our total cash increased by $731 million and we had free cash flow (operating cash flow less capex) of $881 million despite less than 10% of that amount coming from key working capital items (payables, receivables, and inventory).

Model 3 is attracting customers of both premium and non-premium brands, making it a truly mainstream product. We are thankful to our customers for being such strong advocates of our products and mission.

AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS The Model 3 production system stabilized in Q3. We went from a steep S-curve to more gradual monthly improvements. Among other things, we made the changes necessary to enable production of an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) version of Model 3, and we did this without disrupting our production rate. We started the quarter producing only Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) Model 3s and ended the quarter producing almost entirely AWD cars. Even though AWD cars are significantly more complex to build, we produced 5,300 Model 3s in the last week of Q3. Labor hours per Model 3 decreased by more than 30% from Q2 to Q3, falling for the first time below the level for Model S and X. In Q4, we will focus even further on cost improvements while continuing to increase our production rate. US Passenger Car sales in Q3

US vehicle inventory – Days of sales Vehicle delivery and logistics were our main challenges in Q3 as our delivery system went through a similar “ramp” to what our production system went through in Q2. Fortunately, these challenges are easier to solve than vehicle manufacturing, and we made improvements through the quarter. One of the most significant improvements was the expansion of direct deliveries where our employee delivers the car wherever the customer would like. We believe delivering vehicles to the front door of a customer’s house or office is superior from both a cost and customer satisfaction perspective. Despite logistical challenges earlier in the quarter, our US inventory at the end of Q3 (including customer vehicles in transit, test drive vehicles, service loaners and engineering fleet – all of which accounted for the vast majority of our inventory) remains the lowest in the industry when measured in terms of days of sales. Even when compared to our own history, our vehicle inventory level at the end of Q3 was the lowest in over two years in terms of days of sales.





In Q3, we delivered 56,065 Model 3s to customers. Based on trade-ins received from customers since the start of Model 3 production, more than half of those trade-in vehicles were priced below $35,000 when new. It is clear that customers are trading up their relatively cheaper vehicles to buy a Model 3 even though there is not yet a leasing option and the Q3 starting price of a Model 3 was $49,000. This leads us to believe that the total market potential for Model 3 is larger than just the premium sedan market. Additionally, we are working hard to bring down the price of Model 3 to $35,000. We have taken a step forward by recently introducing a medium range version that has a 260-mile EPA estimated range and a starting price of $46,000. Better than expected Model 3 cost reduction is allowing us to bring more affordable options to the market sooner. We stopped taking Model 3 reservations in North America in early July 2018 when we moved to a direct order system. Of the 455,000 net reservations that we reported in August 2017, less than 20% have cancelled. We are expecting most of the remaining reservations to gradually convert to orders as we launch more versions of Model 3, introduce other financing options, and begin sales outside North America. Original purchase price of Model 3 trade-ins

The mid-sized premium sedan market in Europe is more than twice as big as the same segment in the US. This is why we are excited to bring Model 3 to Europe early next year. The reception at the Paris Auto Show as well as the Goodwood Festival of Speed was very strong. We expect to start taking orders in Europe and China for Model 3 before the end of this year.

Given the growth of Model 3, we delivered almost 70,000 vehicles in the US in Q3. Although we only sell Model 3, Model S and Model X, our total US deliveries in Q3 were on par with total vehicle deliveries made by our long-established premium competitors, each of which has multiple models and a vast network of dealerships.

In order to significantly increase the affordability of Model 3, we have decided to accelerate our manufacturing timeline in China. We are aiming to bring portions of Model 3 production to China during 2019 and to progressively increase the level of localization through local sourcing and manufacturing. Production in China will be designated only for local customers.

Model S/X gross margin vs. Performance mix Model 3 mix was strong in Q3 due to the launch of AWD and Performance variants. While the average selling price will gradually decline as we introduce lower priced variants, we are not expecting this to impact profitability. Model S and X Performance mix declined roughly 4-fold since 2015, yet Model S and X gross margin (excluding ZEV credits) continued to improve by roughly 600 basis points over the same period of time. Margin growth was caused by gradual cost improvements driven by lowering labor hours per vehicle, reduced cost of raw materials, and various other cost efficiencies. We continue to target a 25% gross margin ex-ZEV credits on Model 3. In Q3, we delivered 27,710 Model S and X vehicles to customers. While demand in China remains challenging due to a 40% import duty for Model S and X, China deliveries still remained a material portion of our Q3 deliveries, and we managed to offset the decline there with growth in North America and Europe.

Electric vehicles that are designed from the ground up to be electric are structurally safer than equivalent combustion engine vehicles. That is why we were excited to confirm earlier this month that Model 3 received a 5-star rating from NHTSA in every category and sub-category. We continue to improve both the hardware and software on our cars so that our customers immediately get the best of what we have to offer without waiting for a new model year.

Battery pack and powertrain are at the heart of our vehicles. Over the past 15 years, we have worked hard to make the best powertrain anywhere on the market. By 2016, Model X energy efficiency was 3.1 miles of EPA range per kWh. This is an extremely important metric as it allows an EV to reach a long EPA range even when using a relatively small, inexpensive battery pack. With Model 3, energy efficiency improved dramatically to 4.1 EPA miles per kWh, the highest efficiency for any all-wheel drive EV. To put this in context, our current or upcoming AWD (2019) competition is expected to achieve 2.4 to 2.8 miles of EPA range per kWh. Model 3 has far better energy efficiency while also providing the quickest acceleration (0-60 mph in as little as 3.3 seconds) and the highest top speed (155 mph). Additionally, the curb weight of Model 3 long range RWD is only 3% heavier than its gas powered equivalents.





We recently started releasing Version 9.0 of our vehicle software, which marks our biggest software upgrade in the last two years. Our Autopilot software is now much improved, and, as a result, we can start adding new functionality that was not possible in the past. The main functionality we added to our early access users is “Navigate on Autopilot” where on most controlled-access roads such as highways, any Tesla vehicle made from October 2016 with Enhanced Autopilot will be able to automatically change lanes with driver confirmation, transition from one freeway to another, and ultimately exit the freeway when approaching the final destination. We also enabled long-awaited dashboard camera functionality as well as some Atari games when a vehicle is parked. This new software architecture will enable us to accelerate deployment of new Autopilot and Self-Driving features in the future. During Q3, we opened four new store and service locations, resulting in 351 locations worldwide at the end of the quarter. Our electrified Mobile Service fleet continued to grow further to more than 373 service vehicles on the road at the end of Q3. Since body repairs have been one of the major drawbacks for our customers, we have started to roll out our own body shops in the US. Thus far, we have opened several body shops in the highest density areas and are planning to open dozens more in the next few quarters. Total Tesla fleet with Autopilot hardware

In Q3, we opened 44 new Supercharger locations for a total of 1,352 Supercharger stations. To date, we have over 11,000 Supercharging connectors and over 20,000 Destination Charging connectors globally.

ENERGY PRODUCTS

Our energy business is also going through significant changes that led to higher revenues and significantly better profitability.

In Q3, energy storage deployments grew to 239 MWh, an increase of 18% sequentially and 118% compared to Q3 2017. This means that we are well on track to achieve our goal of tripling energy storage deployments in 2018 compared to 2017. We increased Powerwall production so that we can continue to work through our order backlog. We also rolled out new software features for Powerwall, including Time Based Control and Storm Watch (full Powerwall recharge in case of a storm forecast), to continue to bring additional value to our customers.

MWh of Energy Storage deployed (12-months rolling) We deployed 93 MW of solar energy generation systems in Q3, an 11% increase sequentially. Cash and loan sales made up 80% of residential deployments in the quarter, up from 46% in Q3 2017. Due to the complexity of Solar Roof, we continue to iterate on the design of the product via intensive reliability testing, and we also continue to refine the installation process. Accordingly, we expect to ramp production more quickly during the first half of 2019. We are prioritizing residential solar installations that are combined with our energy storage products because this combination provides a better customer experience and improves both our revenues and profits. As a result of greater scale, manufacturing efficiencies and improvements in our installation processes, our energy storage gross margin improved materially in Q3. We have significantly improved the time to install our solar and energy storage products and customers will continue to see faster installation. Though solar energy economics continue to improve every year, one of the remaining gating factors has been customer acquisition costs. Following adjustments to our sales channel strategy earlier this year, a majority of our new solar energy orders now comes from our own website and stores rather than through third-party channels. This has helped us to significantly lower our customer acquisition costs. At the end of Q3, there were almost 450,000 Tesla vehicle owners around the world. Ultimately, we believe this group will become the largest demand generator for our residential solar and Powerwall business.





Q3 2018 RESULTS

Revenue & Gross Margin

Three Months Ended Change September 30, June 30, September 30, 2018 2018 2017 QoQ YoY Automotive revenue ($000) $ 6,098,766 $ 3,357,681 $ 2,362,889 82 % 158 % Automotive gross margin – GAAP 25.8 % 20.6 % 18.3 % 522 bp 752 bp Automotive gross margin excluding SBC and ZEV credit – non-GAAP 25.5 % 21.0 % 18.7 % 453 bp 681 bp

• Automotive revenue in Q3 increased by 82% sequentially over Q2, mainly due to a sharp increase in Model 3 deliveries. In Q3, we recorded $52M in ZEV credit sales compared to zero in Q2.

• With the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard starting January 1, 2018, lease accounting generally applies to vehicles directly leased by us without using bank partners. Only 3% of vehicles delivered in Q3 were subject to lease accounting.

• GAAP Automotive gross margin improved significantly to 25.8% in Q3 from 20.6% in Q2, while non-GAAP Automotive gross margin improved to 25.5% in Q3 as compared to 21.0% in Q2.

• At an average Model 3 production rate of about 4,300 per week in Q3 (excluding planned shutdowns), Model 3 gross margin grew very significantly to above 20%. The mix of the Model 3 Performance version was only slightly higher than the Performance mix of Model S and X. This strong margin growth was driven by a higher production rate while keeping fixed costs stable, significant reductions in manufacturing costs through lower labor hours per unit, lower scrap rate, lower material costs, and higher average selling price.

• Gross margin of Model S and X continued to improve sequentially even though the average selling price per vehicle declined slightly. Model S has been in production for over six years, but we continue to achieve efficiencies in material cost and other manufacturing costs.

Three Months Ended Change September 30, June 30, September 30, 2018 2018 2017 QoQ YoY Energy generation and storage revenue ($000) $ 399,317 $ 374,408 $ 317,505 7 % 26 % Energy generation and storage gross margin 17.2 % 11.8 % 25.3 % 543 bp -804 bp

• Energy generation and storage revenue in Q3 increased by 7% over Q2 and by 26% compared to Q3 2017. This year-over-year increase was mainly driven by a substantial growth in energy storage deployments and higher mix of cash and loan sales for solar deployments.

• GAAP gross margin of the Energy business in Q3 improved significantly to 17.2% compared to 11.8% in Q2 mainly due to cost improvements in our solar and storage businesses.

Other Highlights

• Service and Other revenue in Q3 increased by 21% compared to Q2. This was mainly due to higher used car sales.

• Service and Other gross margin loss in Q3 was less than in Q2. Total gross loss of Service and Other remained relatively stable. This was in line with our expectations.

• Our total GAAP operating expenses decreased to $1.11 billion in Q3, which was 11% less than in Q2. Excluding one-time restructuring and other costs, operating expenses decreased by 5% sequentially as we are seeing the benefit of our ongoing cost reduction efforts.

• Interest and Other expenses were $145 million in Q3.

• There were approximately 171 million basic shares outstanding at the end of Q3.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

• Cash flow from operating activities in Q3 was $1.39 billion. This was mainly due to significantly improved volumes and profitability of Model 3. Change in key working capital items (receivables, payables and inventory) during Q3 impacted operating cash flow only slightly. Although our accounts payable increased as expected, our accounts receivables also increased by a similar magnitude since the quarter ended on a Sunday, which limited our ability to collect cash from the banks financing our customer loans.

• Customer deposits decreased slightly compared to Q2 to $906 million as we continue to work through our Model 3 backlog.

• Our capital expenditures were $510 million, which was below the Q2 2018 level.

• Our cash position increased by $731 million in Q3 despite repaying $82.5 million of bonds.



OUTLOOK

Model 3 quarterly production and deliveries should continue to increase in Q4 compared to Q3. Our target of delivering 100,000 Model S and X vehicles this year remains unchanged.

We expect gross margin for Model 3 to remain stable in Q4 as manufacturing efficiencies and fixed cost absorption offset a slightly lower trim mix and the negative impact of tariffs from Chinese sourced components. Gross margin for Model S and X will likely decline slightly in Q4, as we expect that the sequential increase in tariffs in Q4 from Chinese sourced components will be only partially offset by increased manufacturing cost efficiencies. For all three vehicles, additional tariffs in Q4 on parts sourced from China will impact our gross profit negatively by roughly $50 million.

Energy generation and storage revenue should decline slightly in Q4 compared to Q3, mainly due to seasonality of the solar business. As a result of lower solar mix and seasonality, gross margin of this segment should also decline slightly in Q4.

We expect our Services and Other business to continue to grow mainly due to used car sales volumes. Gross margin of this segment should see further sequential improvement. We will increase investment in our service infrastructure in North America through deployment of new service locations and additional mobile service vehicles.

Total operating expenses should grow only slightly in Q4 compared to Q3 levels.

We reaffirm our prior guidance that we expect to again achieve positive GAAP net income in Q4. Similarly, in Q4, we continue to expect to generate positive cash from operating cash flows net of capital expenditures, as well as the normal inflow of cash received from non-recourse financing activities on leased vehicles and solar products. Our cash position should remain at least flat in spite of our plan to repay $230 million of convertible notes in cash during Q4.

Our total 2018 capex, the vast majority of which is to grow our capacity, is expected to be slightly below $2.5 billion, consistent with our prior guidance. Our Q4 capex projection includes the purchase of land in China and initial design and other expenditures for Gigafactory 3. Interest expenses in Q4 should be roughly $170 million and losses attributable to noncontrolling interests should decline significantly compared to Q3.

As we have transformed from a 100,000 per year unit carmaker into a ~340,000 unit per year carmaker, our earnings profile has flipped dramatically. Sufficient Model 3 profitability was critical to make our business sustainable – something many argued would be impossible to achieve. Due to the ingenuity and incredible hard work of our team combined with an innovative vehicle design and manufacturing strategy, we have achieved total auto gross margin of ~25%.

We can’t thank you enough for your support. We would not have achieved this historic quarter without it.
