Commentary

Automotive

We continued the launch of Model 3 and Model Y trims globally, including the roll-out of the Model YL in markets outside of China and more affordable trims of both models. We also began deliveries of Cybertruck in the UAE

Robotaxi

In Q1, paid Robotaxi miles nearly doubled sequentially. Once in production, we expect that Cybercab will begin to replace the existing Model Y fleet and will be the largest volume vehicle in the fleet over time.

Context

This positive performance, alongside increased free cash flow and strong EBITDA figures, suggests robust operational momentum that could bolster investor confidence and support Tesla's growth plans, particularly in expanding their vehicle lineup and technology initiatives like the Robotaxi.
