Tesla reported first-quarter adjusted EPS of 41 cents, above the 34-cent Wall
Street estimate, marking a second consecutive beat. The company said it
continues investing in robotics and autonomous driving while expanding
production across multiple facilities. Despite sluggish vehicle sales earlier in
the year, Tesla is ramping output in cars, batteries, and robots. Shares rose 3%
after the results. Capital expenditure is expected to reach $20 billion this
year, more than double last year’s level.
