In just the last 90 days:
1. Grok 4.3 — barely top 10. “xAI is dead beyond compute leases.”
2. Grok 4.5 — massive comeback. “Maybe a chance. But Grok will never catch up to the frontier.”
3. Grok 4.6 — they’re frontier. “Still not top 3.”
4. Grok 4.7 — now top 3 in frontier coding, while being much cheaper & faster.
5. Grok 4.8 next month.....
The model machine is just starting up.
Grok will be the workhorse of the upcoming agentic era.

Q1 2026 Shareholder Update
https://t.co/dOjSLhd10p
We continued to make meaningful progress on the build out of the infrastructure & AI software that underpins our Robotaxi & future robotics businesses in Q1.
That meant commencing the ramp of new factories across AI compute, battery & battery materials, as well as preparing lines for start of production of Megapack 3, Cybercab & Tesla Semi.
Demand for our vehicles continued to grow in APAC & South America markets, with a rebound of demand in EMEA markets & North America.
As trade and geopolitics become more uncertain, we're further regionalizing and vertically integrating critical supply chains to ensure access to key materials & componentry in each region across vehicle, energy & AI.
Automotive
– Optimizing our vehicle product portfolio with an emphasis on vehicles designed for a fully autonomous future
– More affordable trims of Model 3/Y & rollout of Model Y L in markets outside of China
– Began deliveries of Cybertruck in the UAE
– Volume production of Cybercab & Tesla Semi this year
Energy Generation & Storage
– Good progress with new Megafactory outside Houston (will produce Megapack 3 for Megablock). Start of production on track for later this year
– We began meaningful customer deployments of Tesla’s first in-house designed solar panel produced at Giga New York
Robotics
– Preparations for our first large-scale Optimus factory will begin shortly in Q2.
First-gen line designed for 1M robots/year will replace Model S/X lines in Fremont Factory, second-gen line is being prepared at Giga Texas (long-term annual capacity of 10M robots/year)
AI Training Compute
– Cortex 2 is now online & has started running training workloads
– Also ramping on-site training infrastructure to ensure sufficient compute resources for AI products & services
– Continuing with custom silicon development (Dojo 3) to reduce training cost over time
Battery
– Ramping new battery & material factories, including LFP cells in Nevada, cathode material & lithium refining in Texas
– Battery vendor cell availability continues to be a limiting factor on ramping vehicle production, so we're working on initiatives to de-bottleneck, including using 4680 cells at Giga Berlin
Other Supporting Infrastructure
– Giga New York is now producing V4 Supercharging cabinets (3x power density & 2x the number of stalls vs V3)
– Alongside the ramp of Tesla Semi, we're deploying public Megachargers, including our first one in SoCal
– Over 2,200 new Supercharger stalls, growing the network 19% YoY
AI Software
– FSD 14.3 launched in April
– Upgraded Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage to better handle long-tail edge cases, enhanced the neural network vision encoder for sharper perception in low-vis scenarios & rewrote the AI compiler to accelerate model iterations & cut inference latency by 20% (faster reaction time for FSD!)
This accelerates our efforts to eventually deploy unsupervised autonomy to both the Robotaxi fleet & customer owned vehicles
– Digital Optimus: our next evolution of AI development. We're working on automating digital workloads, building an intelligence layer that will complement real-world AI in vehicles & robots
AI Inference Compute
– Expanding our scope of manufacturing to include semiconductor fabrication (coinciding with Robotaxi & Optimus ramps) = step towards ensuring sufficient & resilient chip supply
– Partnership with SpaceX aims to build the largest chip fab ever, vertically integrating logic, memory & advanced packaging to allow for rapid iteration
– Completed final chip design of AI5 (our next-gen inference processor) in April
Automotive & Other Software
– Rolled out Spring Update which includes a new Self-Driving app with tutorials & stats, "Hey Grok" wake word w/ location-based reminders, accent lights for blind spot alerts, updated Pet Mode & more
Robotaxi
– Paid Robotaxi miles doubled sequentially in Q1
– Cybercab will begin replacing Model Y fleet once in production & be the largest volume vehicle in the fleet over time
– Continuing to lay the groundwork for expanding into new cities (testing, permitting), so we can launch quickly once ready. Safety remains top priority
– Expanded unsupervised ops in Austin & launched in Dallas & Houston in April
FSD Supervised
– Record net new FSD subscriptions in Q1
– Received approval to deploy FSD Supervised in the Netherlands in April, clearing the path for potential approval in other EU countries
– Continuing to make progress on approval in China
Automotive Services
– Safety Score v3.0 enables every mile driven with FSD Supervised engaged to receive a score of 100. Higher Safety Score over time = lower premiums for Tesla Insurance customers
$TSLA 🇯🇵
BREAKING : Tesla has officially announced that it aims to introduce FSD in Japan in 2026.
Tesla Japan started test runs on public roads using FSD today.
The only existing FSD test vehicle was Model 3, but from today, Model Y has also been added to the test fleet.
American mother says her daughter is 1 of only 4 children in her entire math class that speaks English
“She doesn't get to learn math because there's 20 plus other kids who don't know English and the teacher has to accommodate them”
“Why am I paying property taxes? Why am I paying income tax? Why am I paying taxes for anything for my children to have a the right to a free and public education? — This this is what they get. You don't get to learn math because you know English, so you just don't get to learn math.”
