Notes
- No unit has been sold or delivered to an external customer as of 2026-09-20; Tesla's own working demos (walking, sorting, dancing) qualify as demonstrated, not shipped.
- Primary sourcing gap: tesla.com/AI returned HTTP 403 and Tesla's investor-relations PDFs were not reachable directly during this build; the figures above are Tesla's own stated numbers as compiled by Wikipedia with named dates and events (AI Day 2021, Q1 2026 earnings call), not independent journalism repeating a rumor. This should be replaced with a direct tesla.com or ir.tesla.com citation in a follow-up.
