IT Home reported on October 22 that Tesla CEO Elon Musk said during Tesla’s earnings call today (the 22nd), Beijing time, that demand for Tesla vehicles is growing rapidly and has already far exceeded production capacity.
Musk said Tesla will “without a doubt” increase production and is currently expanding capacity significantly. He said the biggest driver of demand is the FSD Full Self-Driving system. “At present, no vehicle on sale can compete with us when it comes to FSD.”
IT Home learned from the earnings call that Tesla is producing and delivering as many vehicles as possible while pushing for FSD approval in more markets.
Musk said FSD has already been approved in several European countries and that he hopes to secure approval across the entire European Union. He acknowledged that the timing is “hard to predict”: approval could come within a few months, but a delay until the first quarter of next year would not be surprising. “The pace of approval is beyond our control, but we expect FSD to eventually receive approval throughout Europe and in other countries.”
Musk firmly believes the humanoid robotics sector will become the world’s largest industry and that humanoid robots could eventually outnumber humans on Earth. He also expects that, by the end of next year, a series of issues involving robot AI, electromechanical design, reliability and service life may be resolved. “Only then can we deliver Optimus to companies outside Tesla.”
