Tesla continues to ramp up its investment in domestic manufacturing and infrastructure, revealing that it spent approximately $10 billion in capital expenditures in the United States during the last fiscal year alone. The electric vehicle (EV) maker plans to allocate an additional $8 billion in capital investments this fiscal year as part of its long-standing strategy to expand and scale its operations within the country.
The figures were shared by Tesla and its Vice President of Supply Chain, Sendil Palani, in a post on X. According to Palani, Tesla has poured about $44 billion into U.S. manufacturing and infrastructure since the company’s founding, establishing a physical footprint that underscores its commitment to domestic innovation and production.
“The physical reality behind our U.S. investments is even more staggering than the numbers,” Palani wrote, highlighting the company’s facilities across multiple states that now serve as critical hubs for EV production, energy storage systems, and artificial intelligence development.
Tesla has been focused on investing in manufacturing and infrastructure in the US since our inception and till the beginning of the year, we had invested ~$44B of capital expenditures. Just in the last fiscal year alone, we did ~$10B of capital expenditure and plan to invest…

Expanding Across the Nation
In California, Tesla transformed the dormant NUMMI factory in Fremont into the country’s most productive automotive manufacturing plant. The state also hosts a Megapack battery production facility in Lathrop, one of the largest utility-scale battery factories in North America.
In Nevada, Tesla partnered with Panasonic to develop what was at the time the largest lithium-ion battery and EV powertrain production facility in the U.S., located near Reno.
In Texas, the company constructed its massive Gigafactory in Austin from the ground up. The site, one of the largest buildings in the U.S. by footprint, houses vehicle manufacturing lines, in-house battery cell production, and the Cortex supercluster—Tesla’s advanced AI training and simulation infrastructure.
In New York, the Buffalo-based Gigafactory has been expanded to support Tesla’s Solar Roof production, residential energy and charging products, and the powerful Dojo supercomputer used for neural network training.
Supercharging Infrastructure
Tesla also continues to lead in EV infrastructure, operating the country’s largest and most reliable Supercharger network. The network is now partially open to non-Tesla vehicles, furthering its role in accelerating EV adoption across the U.S.
Long-Term Commitment
Tesla’s cumulative investment strategy is not only about producing vehicles and batteries—it’s about building long-term, scalable capabilities across energy, autonomy, and AI entirely within the United States. These projects reflect Tesla’s aim to vertically integrate its operations and reduce dependency on foreign supply chains while creating jobs and expanding local economies.
With another $8 billion in spending planned this fiscal year, Tesla’s domestic investments show no signs of slowing down as it continues to bet big on U.S.-based innovation and manufacturing.
