Dow Jones2026/10/21 23:141913 ET [Dow Jones]--Tesla's capital expenditures more than doubled in the third quarter, but the amount was still well below analysts' expectations. Capital expenditures were $4.73 billion in the third quarter, below the second-quarter spending and the nearly $8.0 billion analysts expected, according to FactSet. Tesla is spending more on making its Optimus robots, which started production during the third quarter. It is also trying to scale its self-driving robotaxi quickly, as competition heats up from rivals such as Amazon and Waymo. (katherine.hamilton@wsj.com)
