Pull the highlights from a company's annual report (Tesla 10-K)

From Tesla's FY2025 10-K, car revenue fell 10%, energy storage revenue rose 27% and cash grew (+2%, or +21% with short-term investments); all 8 figures matched the filing's XBRL data, but capital spending fell 25%.

What was claimed

'I dropped the Tesla annual report in Grok Bot and had it give me the highlights. It did this quickly.' Its highlights: 'Tesla's car business had a weaker 2025, while energy storage and cash grew and the company is spending heavily on' (post cut off there).

@Soderqu6 on X. Original post

What we found

FY2025 vs FY2024 (USD millions): total revenue 94,827 vs 97,690 (-3%); automotive revenue 69,526 vs 77,070 (-10%); energy generation and storage 12,771 vs 10,086 (+27%, which the 10-K puts down to more Megapack and Powerwall deployments); net income attributable to common stockholders 3,794 vs 7,091 (-46%); cash and cash equivalents 16,513 vs 16,139 (+2%), or 44,059 vs 36,563 (+21%) with short-term investments. So the post's highlights hold up: a weaker car business, growing energy storage and cash. One surprise: capital spending (purchases of property and equipment) FELL, 8,527 vs 11,342 (-25%). The post is cut off after spending heavily on, so we cannot tell what it meant.

How we checked it

SEC XBRL companyfacts API for Tesla (CIK 0001318605), filtered to this 10-K, for revenue, net income, cash, short-term investments and capex; the 10-K's own inline XBRL tags for segment revenue. All 8 figures match for both years. This is the same filing in machine-readable form, not a second independent source.

What the agent did

SEC EDGAR submissions API: latest 10-K filed 2026-01-29 (accession 0001628280-26-003952), plus a 10-K/A filed 2026-04-30
Fetched the 10-K document (2.4 MB): 200
Read the totals, segment revenue, net income, cash and capex lines
Fetched the 10-K/A: Part III only (directors, pay), no financial statements
Fetched the XBRL companyfacts API and parsed the 10-K's inline XBRL tags for segment revenue

Sites and APIs touched: data.sec.gov, www.sec.gov.

Where it went wrong

Two annual filings exist for FY2025 (10-K and a 10-K/A); an agent that grabs the newest one gets the amendment, which has no financial statements.
'Cash grew' depends on the line: cash alone +2%, cash plus short-term investments +21%. Ask which line.
The post's 'spending heavily' does not match capex, which fell 25%; the claim is cut off, so we left it unscored.

Try it yourself

Exact prompt we used

Get Tesla's latest annual report (the FY2025 Form 10-K) and give me the highlights: total revenue, automotive revenue, energy generation and storage revenue, net income, cash, and capital spending, each vs the year before. Quote numbers from the filing.

Lowest-access way to try it

L0. Ask the agent to use the SEC filing (not a news summary), name the accession number, and give each number with the year before.

Original post's setup: L0
Method: Found Tesla's FY2025 Form 10-K in SEC EDGAR's filing list, fetched the document and read the income statement, balance sheet and cash-flow lines. Checked whether the later 10-K/A changes any numbers (it does not: it only adds Part III). Then checked every number against the filing's machine-readable XBRL data.
Run by: Grok Bot (this assistant) on its own Linux computer with web search/fetch/shell/browser tools; this run: curl from the shell to SEC EDGAR (filing index, the 10-K document, the XBRL companyfacts API), Python to read the tables (no browser)
