Tesla's Q1 Surge: Robotaxis & Home Robots

0:00It's April 22nd. This is Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Tesla just dropped some solid numbers for the first quarter, bouncing back from their rough patch in 2025. Profits hit $477 million, a 17% jump from last year. Earnings per share came in at 13 cents, and adjusted, they beat expectations at 41 cents against Wall Street's 36th guess. The new climb to $22,390 million, mostly thanks to automotive sales jumping 16%. It's a clear sign the electric car giant is regaining momentum after the sales dip. Elon Musk keeps pushing the big picture, saying Tesla's real game is robo-taxes and home robots, not just cranking out vehicles. Investors are tuning into that vision, as the company shifts gears beyond traditional cars. Wall-a-taxi miles double from last year's fourth quarter, and they're gearing up to roll out services in big cities this year. Plus, they started building those pedal-free cybercabs for fully autonomous rides.
