Tesla’s next big moment is coming up fast. On Tuesday, April 22 at 2:30 PM PT, Tesla will host its Q1 2025 earnings call — now rebranded as a “Company Update” — live on X.

But this call won’t just be about numbers.

Thanks to the Say Technologies platform, thousands of Tesla shareholders have already submitted and voted on the most important questions they want answered. So far, 6,390 participants representing 2.59 million shares have made their voices heard.

Tesla’s Production Snapshot So Far in 2025

Tesla delivered 336,681 vehicles in Q1 and produced 362,215, despite losing several weeks of production due to the Model Y refresh. On the energy side, Tesla deployed a massive 10.4 GWh of storage — more than double what it achieved in Q1 2024.

Why This Call Matters More Than Ever

Interestingly, Tesla is calling this quarter’s update a “Company Update” rather than a traditional earnings call — a subtle but possibly important shift. With FSD, Robotaxis, the Optimus robot, and global expansion all at critical points, shareholders are eager to hear how Tesla plans to navigate both growth and uncertainty.

Want Your Voice Heard?

Tesla shareholders still have time to submit or vote on questions through the Say platform. The deadline is Monday, April 21 at 1:00 p.m. PT.

What Are You Hoping to Hear?

Are you waiting for updates on Robotaxi rollout, FSD expansion, or affordable models?
