358K Q1 Deliveries Reported by Tesla; China FSD Rollout Delayed to Q3
Summary
Tesla reported Q1 2026 deliveries of 358,023 vehicles, marking a 6.3% year-over-year increase. However, the company announced a significant delay in its Full Self-Driving (FSD) rollout in China to Q3, with EU regulators also expressing skepticism, indicating material regulatory and product development hurdles. Additionally, a massive "SpaceX–Tesla Terafab plan" proposing up to $119 billion in investment for 2nm chips and computing capacity was revealed, signaling a major long-term strategic initiative. While the 2026 Model Y NHTSA approval was previously reported, these new details on deliveries, FSD, and the Terafab plan are highly material. The FSD delay directly impacts a key growth driver, while the Terafab plan, if realized, represents an enormous capital commitment and potential future competitive advantage. Traders will closely monitor further updates on FSD regulatory approvals and the progression of the Terafab investment.
