The phenomenal growth of Tesla Energy‘s business revenue (solar + battery storage) made up for the losses in automotive revenues in 2024. Compared to 2023, Tesla’s energy generation and storage revenues grew by 67%.

To meet the demand for its battery energy storage systems (BESS), Tesla is increasing the number of factories built for manufacturing its Megapacks. These factories are called Megafactories. Tesla is building Megafactories in both the United States and China.

In 2024, Tesla won large multi-billion-dollar BESS projects in Texas and California. Tesla’s Megafactory in Lathrop, California, is constantly expanding its Megapack manufacturing capacity. These comparatively smaller but dedicated large battery production facilities are going to generate even better revenues for Tesla (TSLA) in the coming years.
