Following January's sharp sales decline in China, Tesla reported a 91% year-over-year surge in China-made vehicle sales for February, reaching 58,600 units—the fourth consecutive monthly rise. This offsets ongoing 2025 global delivery weakness (down 9% to 1,636,129 vehicles) and soft demand in the U.S. and Europe. Tesla is committing over $20 billion to AI, humanoid robots, and autonomy, including the new Digital Optimus project.
Elon Musk revealed on March 11, 2026, a collaborative Tesla-xAI initiative called Macrohard or Digital Optimus, a real-time AI system to emulate software company operations and automate computer tasks. Powered by xAI's Grok model directing Tesla hardware processing of screen video and inputs, it follows Tesla's $2 billion investment in xAI amid lawsuits, internal shifts, and a SpaceX acquisition.
