Tesla livestreamed its quarterly all-hands meeting to the public for the first time, offering a rare look inside the company’s internal operations and long-term strategy. The decision to livestream one of these meetings comes as the company faces a growing wave of protests, targeted attacks on its vehicles and infrastructure.
Elon Musk used the platform to lay out an ambitious, future-focused vision that blends AI, robotics, autonomy, and sustainable energy into what he calls “sustainable abundance for all.”
The meeting was packed with updates on every major facet of the business. Among the highlights are that Tesla has now produced over 7 million vehicles globally, with expectations to surpass 10 million next year. The Model Y remains the best-selling vehicle of any kind on Earth for the second consecutive year, and Tesla expects that trend to continue in 2025 and claim the title for a third year running.
Musk also revealed that its Cybercab production line—designed to manufacture autonomous electric robotaxis—is now capable of producing a vehicle every five seconds, a staggering leap in manufacturing efficiency. Also, Tesla’s Cortex supercomputer in Texas is now running over 50,000 GPUs, with plans to scale to 100,000, putting it among the top five AI training clusters in the world. This computational power is being used to drive Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) development, which Musk insists will soon exceed human driving capability by a factor of 10.
The meeting was about much more than cars. Musk made it clear that Tesla’s identity is evolving beyond just vehicles. The company is accelerating production of its humanoid robot, Optimus, with plans to build 5,000 units in 2025 and scale to 50,000 in 2026. Featuring a new 22-degree-of-freedom hand and in-house AI hardware, Optimus could become, in Musk’s words, “10 times bigger than any other product ever made.”
The livestream wasn’t just about the company’s performance. Musk acknowledged “rocky times” and negative press, noting that if people “don’t like our product, you don’t need to burn it down—that’s psycho.” He emphasized the importance of execution over ideas and reaffirmed Tesla’s commitment to innovation, “the future is incredibly bright and exciting, and we’re going to do things that no one have even dreamed of,” Musk said.
