Tesla Produces 5 Millionth Car, Highlighting Impressive Growth
Tesla recently announced that they have produced their 5 millionth car, just six months after hitting the 4 million mark. This milestone signifies Tesla's close-to 2 million-per-year run rate on production. The company's progress is noteworthy, considering it took over a decade to produce the first million vehicles. However, the lack of specificity on the production date limits insights into the quarter's production numbers, primarily due to uncertainties caused by highland. Nevertheless, this achievement reflects Tesla's continuous growth and potential for future success.
Project Dojo Expected to Increase Orders for TSMC Dojo Chips
There are reports suggesting that Tesla plans to substantially increase their orders for Dojo chips from TSMC. While there may be some confusion in the reporting, it appears that Tesla's orders for 2023, 2024, and 2025 are set to increase year over year. This development indicates Tesla's commitment to further develop their artificial intelligence capabilities. However, it is important to note that this increase may not have a material impact on Tesla's computing abilities in the near future.
Elon Musk's Meetings and Updates on Tesla's Future Plans
Elon Musk recently had meetings with the Prime Minister of Israel and the President of Turkey. In the meeting with Israel, they primarily discussed artificial intelligence. Elon gave a tour of one of Tesla's facilities, including a glimpse at the Cybertruck, which showcased features like the LED interior lighting and the large touchscreen interface. In the meeting with Turkey, it was mentioned that many suppliers in Turkey are already working with Tesla, and Turkey is a strong contender for the location of Tesla's next factory. Additionally, there were reports about Tesla being in early talks with Saudi Arabia for an EV factory, although Elon denied this report as false.
