CEO Elon Musk said Tesla will end production of the Model S and Model X to make room for humanoid robot manufacturing at its California plant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\">The record spending will fund development of the Cybercab, a fully autonomous vehicle, along with the Tesla semi-truck and new battery and lithium facilities. CFO Vaibhav Taneja said most of the funds will support AI-related projects, backed by Tesla&#8217;s $44 billion in cash reserves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\">Analysts view the investment as essential for Tesla&#8217;s evolution. The bigger story is the business model transition now underway, said REX Financial&#8217;s Scott Acheychek.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\">Musk said the expansion reflects necessity rather than ambition, calling the projects investments for an epic future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
