Tesla reported a net income in Q3 of $874 million, up 156 percent compared to a year ago and nearly double its Q2 profit.
Analysts had been forecasting earnings of $593 million.
Shares soared by over 4 percent in after-hours trading, adding to a stock run-up of more than 400 percent for the year to date through Wednesday’s close.
Tesla’s Q3 results come weeks after “Battery Day” — during which the company said it’ll redesign its batteries to improve range and power, and eventually launch a $25,000 vehicle.
