Services: Grew by 31% in Q4 2024, contributing $2.8 billion.
Total Revenue: Increased by 2% in Q4 2024, but income fell by 23%, with an operating margin of 6.2%.
Net Profits: Dropped by 71% to $2.3 billion in Q4 2024.
Annual Performance: Automotive revenues decreased by 6% to $77 billion in 2024. Energy generation and storage increased by 67% to $10 billion. Services grew by 27%, bringing in $10.5 billion.
Gross Profits: Fell by 1%, with net profits dropping by 53% to $7.1 billion for the year.
Free Cash Flow: Decreased by 18% to $3.6 billion.
Regulatory Credits: $2.8 billion of profit came from selling regulatory credits, not from core business activities.

Service being up 30% is a bad thing for the consumer. For a vehicle that doesn't require much at all in the way of service...

I'm not sure what Services means there though. It could very well include subscriptions rather than the actual servicing of their cars? Or maybe both?
