Tesla CEO Elon Musk is increasingly positioning the company as an AI and robotics firm rather than just a car manufacturer. Despite nearly half a million cars shipped last quarter and 70% of revenue from car sales, Musk now dedicates about half of his earnings call discussions to AI, robotaxis, and Full Self-Driving technology, up from 15-20% in 2022. This shift coincides with slowing growth in Tesla's core automotive business amid rising competition. Other Tesla executives have also started focusing more on AI and robotics, though less intensely than Musk, reflecting the company's strategic pivot toward future technologies like the Optimus humanoid robot and autonomous vehicles.
