Tesla's Optimus robot plan hits major snag
"
"Lack of demand led Tesla to mothball the Model X and Model S, but the company is betting billions that demand for humanoid robots will be there to replace them. But there is scant evidence for this train of thought."

""Tesla’s humanoid robots have hardly demonstrated any notable capabilities ..""

Tesla : la production des deux modèles phares (les Model S et Model X) s’arrêtera au cours du deuxième trimestre 2026 (Q2). Les lignes de production à Fremont seront reconverties pour fabriquer l’Optimus (le robot humanoïde). Et les autres efforts iront sur le robot taxi.
On dirait qu'on assiste à un changement de monde. Enfin... l'avenir nous le dira.

The #Fremont, California, factory will likely suck up some of that capital as the company begins building its #Optimus #humanoid #robot at scale. The company has also cleared ground outside its #Austin factory for a dedicated Optimus manufacturing facility.

The Guardian | Tesla reports mixed financial results as Musk pivots automaker to AI and robots by Nick Robins-Early

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Tesla’s first‑quarter report showed earnings of $0.41 a share, beating Wall Street’s $0.37 estimate, but revenue of $22.39 bn fell short of the $22.6 bn forecast and the news did little to lift its stock, which has slipped about 11 % this year. While demand for its vehicles is said to be rebounding, deliveries of roughly 358,000 cars missed expectations, and the company discontinued its Model S and Model X as competition from Chinese makers intensifies. CEO Elon Musk used the earnings call to stress Tesla’s shift toward artificial‑intelligence projects, emphasizing the development of the Optimus humanoid robot, self‑driving robotaxis in several U.S. cities, and broader AI ambitions, though tangible revenue from these ventures remains unproven. Investors remain skeptical about the timing of these goals, and the firm’s stock performance continues to lag behind other mega‑cap peers despite Musk’s lofty promises.

NPR Topics: News | Tesla's profits beat expectations, but Elon Musk says big costs are ahead by Camila Domonoske

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Tesla’s first‑quarter earnings topped Wall Street forecasts, with profit 16 percent higher than a year earlier and a brief after‑hours rally that faded once CEO Elon Musk warned that the company will pour roughly $25 billion this year into AI software, chips, new manufacturing and design projects. The beat came despite a slowdown in Tesla’s energy‑storage unit and a drop in revenue from regulatory‑credit sales, leaving the quarter as the second‑worst profit and vehicle‑delivery result in the past twelve quarters, though still far better than analysts expected. Musk noted that demand for its EVs is rebounding in regions such as North America, helped by higher car prices and strong sales of the Model 3 and Model Y, while revenue grew from the Supercharger network and Full‑Self‑Driving subscriptions. He stressed that Tesla’s long‑term growth hinges on artificial‑intelligence initiatives, autonomous robotaxis, and the forthcoming “Optimus” humanoid robot—scheduled for limited production this summer and broader use next year—suggesting future quarters may be less profitable as the firm bets heavily on these next‑generation technologies.

US Top News and Analysis | Tesla set to report first-quarter results after the bell

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Tesla’s first‑quarter earnings, released after market close, showed the company’s stock down about 14% year‑to‑date, lagging all of its megacap peers, while analysts forecast roughly 17% revenue growth to $22.64 billion. The automaker delivered 358,023 vehicles in Q1—a dip from the previous quarter but a 6% increase versus a year earlier—and deployed only 8.8 GWh of battery storage, well below the 14.2 GWh recorded in Q4 2025. Facing competitive pressure from lower‑cost rivals such as China’s Xiaomi and BYD and a consumer backlash linked to CEO Elon Musk’s political activities, Tesla is shifting focus toward its self‑driving technology, the $99‑per‑month Full‑Self‑Driving (FSD) system, and its humanoid “Optimus” robots, while its robotaxi service—currently operating with human safety supervisors—has expanded to Dallas and Houston. At the same time, Musk merged SpaceX with his AI venture xAI in a deal valued at $1.25 trillion, paving the way for a joint IPO and new collaborations that include a Texas chip‑fabrication plant and deeper AI integration into Tesla vehicles and robotics, prompting investors to seek concrete updates on autonomous‑driving milestones, robot deployments, and the evolving ride‑hailing business.
