BREAKING : Tesla China posted wholesale sales of 89,091 units in June, up 24% year-over-year and the highest monthly record for 2026.
China's data is usually released a few days after Tesla's quarterly production and delivery figures are released, but today this number came out first! (Data: CPCA)
The used car market will be flooded with ICE vehicles over the next 5 years thanks to $TSLA Cybercab.
Why go through the hassle of owning a vehicle when you can just summon an all-inclusive Cybercab lease for $500 a month.
ICE depreciation will be next level đŽ
Everything Lars Moravy, Tesla's VP of Engineering, said about Optimus in the latest interview on Herbert's channel:
On the transition of Fremont's Model S/X lines to Optimus:
- Space has been cleared out
- Our first line has landed (in Fremont) from our automation groups in the Midwest and Germany, and we've started to install it
- Machines are going through the last stages of FAT (field acceptance testing)
- The first line is quite modular, so bring-up can be quick
- A line takes 2-3 days to install and a week to get going
- After proving out the first sub-line, we have 40 more to go
- Sub-lines are for different components like actuators, torso, battery, limbs, etc.
- Multiple factors go into 'make-vs-buy' decisions: does a supplier know how to do it, do we keep the IP in-house, is the investment significant, is the risk of change high
Do car manufacturing strengths pass to Optimus?
- Tesla has learned the hard parts of scaling from cars and batteries: parts flow in/out of the factory building, multiple levels of supply chain, multi-sourcing, crisis management
- Optimus benefits from that foundation. The lines are designed by the same experienced people who have learned the importance of precision and repeatability, and OEE and uptime
- The BOM cost of a car is more than a robot (Optimus)
- Tesla has the trifecta: scale manufacturing, electric motor design, and real-world AI
- Optimus is more like a car than a consumer electronics device, because of its high functional safety and multi-axis dimensions
The humanoid form factor:
- The form has to feel like it belongs in our space
- It's important to start with C-3PO (a humanoid from), then we'll see expansion into other forms like R2-D2
Tesla is expected to release their Q2 production and delivery results tomorrow morning (July 2nd) before 9:30 AM ET.
Wall Street is expecting a delivery number of 406,000, with @TroyTeslike at 466,000. Tesla will also release their Q2 energy storage deployment numbers. As always, I'll report the results the moment they come out.
$TSLA is on the cusp of a reratingâŚ
I expect we lose more investors on the way up, than we ever have on any given sell off⌠many people will think âthereâs no way it can keep goingâ and miss out on the epic run
Tesla has just made its first big hire for its Terafab!

Tesla will unleash their fleet of Cybercabs as official Robotaxis on the 4th of July: Independence Day. Independence from driving yourself.
That same day, âself-drivingâ officially changes meaning; it will now refer to YOU driving.
The "Start Self-Driving" button in your Teslas will change to just "Drive".
GOOD NEWS đşđ¸ Tesla's autonomous rollout in Texas is accelerating đĽ The official state registry just got another major update, officially pushing the permitted robotaxi fleet up to 84 vehicles đĽ
