Tesla posted record profits and revenues for 2022, despite slashing prices on a number of its electric vehicles in a bid to bolster sales as the auto industry faces waning demand.

The electric vehicle maker posted (pdf) $24.32 billion in revenue for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, up 37 percent year-over-year from $17.7 billion in the same period in 2021. Wall Street analysts had expected average revenue of $24.16.
