Tesla boosts spending plan to $25 billion in AI, robotics push
Tesla said the spending will fund Optimus robots, Cybercab production and AI chips as the company expects negative free cash flow for the rest of 2026.
- Tesla plans to increase its 2026 capital expenditures to over $25 billion, nearly triple last year's amount, to support AI, robotics, and factory expansions including Optimus robots and Cybercab production.
- Tesla's first-quarter adjusted earnings exceeded analyst expectations, with vehicle demand growing in Asia, South America, North America, Europe, and the Middle East despite a slow start to auto deliveries.
- Tesla's energy division revenue fell 12% year-over-year in Q1, but energy deployments are expected to rise in 2026, with the business described as inherently lumpy.
- Tesla is expanding its Robotaxi ride-hailing service to multiple U.S. cities in early 2026, though significant revenue is not expected before 2027.
