Tesla posted record results on Monday, this time marking the first time the electric carmaker earned more than one billion dollars in a single quarter.
The firm founded by Elon Musk saw a tenfold increase in its year-on-year net income to 1.1 billion dollars in the three months to the end of June, according to Deutsche press agency (dpa).
Revenue increased by 98 percent to a total of 12 billion dollars.
The quarterly figures far surpassed analysts' expectations. However, the firm's stock reacted relatively cautiously and initially posted only slight gains in after-hours trading.
Tesla also achieved record figures for production and delivery of its electric cars in the past quarter.
The company delivered 201,304 vehicles to customers and produced 206,421 units - more than the company has ever produced in a single quarter since the company was founded in 2003.
