Tesla reports third-quarter 2026 results after the market closes on October 21. The Wall Street consensus is for revenue of $28.06 billion, flat against $28.1 billion a year ago, and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.45, down 10%. The flat comparison is less alarming than it looks: Q3 2025 was inflated by US buyers rushing to claim the $7,500 federal tax credit before it expired.
