Installed capacity does not equal current production rate; achievable rates depend on equipment uptime, component supply, factory upgrades, regulatory factors, and other items. Early-ramp capacity includes expected capacity.

AI training compute

Cortex 2 is now online and running training workloads. Onsite training infrastructure continues to scale to support the AI product and services roadmap. Custom silicon development continues with Dojo 3, targeting a lower long-term cost of training.

Battery

Ramp has begun across the new battery and materials factories: LFP cells in Nevada and cathode materials and lithium refining in Texas. Battery pack capacity remains the binding constraint on vehicle production ramp; the team is working actively to expand it.

Other supporting infrastructure

Gigafactory New York is now producing V4 Supercharging cabinets, which deliver roughly 3× the power density and 2× the stalls per cabinet versus V3. Public Megachargers are being deployed alongside the Tesla Semi ramp, with the first in Southern California. Over 2,200 net new Supercharging stalls were added in the quarter, growing the network 19% year over year. Japan service-center footprint is set to double this year, with broader Supercharger coverage in the world's third-largest vehicle market.
