Tesla has pushed back volume production targets for its Cybercab, Semi, Megapack 3, and Optimus robot to beyond 2026, citing manufacturing challenges and battery production needs. This comes as the company reported increased revenue but a 5% drop in net income due to heavy investment in new products.
Tesla reported Q1 2026 earnings of $477 million, up 17% year-over-year, with revenue reaching $22.39 billion driven by 16% automotive growth. The company lost its crown as world's largest EV maker to BYD but is pivoting to robotaxis, which doubled miles in Q1, and humanoid robots with planned 10M annual capacity. Capital expenditures surged 67% to $2.5 billion as Musk bets on autonomous driving and Optimus.
Tesla hat im ersten Quartal 2026 den Umsatz um 16 Prozent auf 22,4 Milliarden Dollar und den Nettogewinn um 17 Prozent auf 477 Millionen Dollar gesteigert. Die Betriebsmarge verdoppelte sich auf 4,2 Prozent. Trotz der positiven Zahlen fiel die Aktie nachbörslich ins Minus, da Tesla höhere Investitionen von 25 Milliarden Dollar für dieses Jahr ankündigte – 5 Milliarden mehr als ursprünglich geplant.
Tesla has announced plans to begin preparations for its first large-scale factory dedicated to manufacturing Optimus robots, marking a significant step in the company's robotics ambitions.
