Caption: Tesla Shifts Focus To AI And Robotics As It Cuts Car Models. Tesla announces its first revenue decline as it shifts its focus toward artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. The company reports a 3% drop in total revenues for 2025, with profits falling 61% in the final quarter. Tesla will cease production of its Model S and Model X, instead using its California plant to produce humanoid robots, branded Optimus. The move comes as BYD surpasses Tesla as the world’s largest EV maker. In addition to cutting car models, Tesla invests $2 billion in Elon Musk's xAI, despite shareholder opposition. Musk justifies the investment by saying it reflects shareholder demand, despite mixed reactions at a recent vote. Tesla also prepares for a massive capital expenditure increase of $20 billion, as Musk aims to meet ambitious growth targets tied to his record-breaking pay package. The changes signal Tesla’s growing focus on AI and robotics, with Musk claiming they are laying the groundwork for an "epic future”.
