The electric vehicle industry has had a tough few weeks with the global chip and battery shortages affecting electric vehicle manufacturers around the world. Despite that, Tesla delivered 184,800 vehicles in Q1 of 2021, exceeding the number of vehicles produced (180,338). The deliveries consisted of 182,780 Model 3 and Model Y.
The rest (2,020) were made up by Model S. The latest figures mark a 109% improvement from Q1 in 2020 when the company delivered 88,400 vehicles. The latest figures also put the company on track to beat last year’s deliveries of 499,500, which was just shy of Elon Musk’s target of 500,000. ''Our net income and cash flow results will be announced along with the rest of our financial performance when we announce Q1 earnings.
Our delivery count should be viewed as slightly conservative, as we only count a car as delivered if it is transferred to the customer and all paperwork is correct. Final numbers could vary by up to 0.5% or more. Tesla vehicle deliveries represent only one measure of the company’s financial performance and should not be relied on as an indicator of quarterly financial results, which depend on a variety of factors, including the cost of sales, foreign exchange movements and mix of directly leased vehicles'' – statement read on the company’s website following the latest delivery numbers.
Tesla – Monthly Chart Source: TradingView With the Tesla reporting strong numbers for Q1, the price target was also increased by Wedbush analyst Dan Ives. Ives lifted his price target on the stock to $1,000 a share from $950, with a "bull case" level of $1,300. "In our opinion, the first quarter delivery numbers released on Friday was a paradigm changer and shows that the pent-up demand globally for Tesla's Model 3/Y is hitting its next stage of growth as part of a global green tidal wave underway," Ives said. "With a green tidal wave kicked off by Biden last week in the US, and global EV demand skyrocketing going after a $5 trillion (total addressable market) over the next decade, we believe these delivery numbers are a paradigm and sentiment shifter for the space going forward."

Tuesday, 12 May 2026, at roughly 7:30 pm AEST, Treasurer Jim Chalmers will stand up in Canberra and deliver the 2026-27 Federal Budget. According to Budget.gov.au, that is when the Budget is officially released, with the Budget papers going live online at the same time.
全球顶级大厂对最前沿先进制程晶圆以及高端先进封装的贪婪蚕食速度,已经远远把底层供应链的常态扩产周期甩在了身后。这种持仓超载带来的**内生脆性风险**,正在强行迫使顶级 AI 巨头未雨绸缪地去寻找替代制造水源 —— 这绝非他们要脱离或抛弃台积电,而是因为在风控准则上,大厂绝不能将万亿美元的算力帝国单边绑死在单一地理节点的供应链上。
一颗顶级 AI 算力大芯片的诞生,绝不仅仅是将光刻机在晶圆上蚀刻出电路那么简单。工程师必须在微观层面上,将算力核心的核心中央处理器、海量的高带宽显存(HBM)以及其他异构组件,以极度变态的物理密度进行拼装互联,使其在财务能效比上能像一个闭环整体那样爆发出超级算力。这一道决定生死的终极组装工艺,在行业内被统称为高级先进封装。
看涨英特尔(Intel) Foundry 战略的长线逻辑极具说服力:**全球 AI 基础设施建设资本支出依旧高亢暴动**,台积电的物理承载力逼近绝对瓶颈,跨国巨头急切需要一个在技术、地缘和产权安全上完全靠得住的第二制造温床。如果英特尔能够成功将目前传出的多项大厂试单测试意向真正沉淀为流水线上的量产出货,华尔街将乐此不疲地对其转型前景执行暴利重新计价。
更底层的风险在于**全球 AI 硬件资本支出的大周期拐点**。倘若在 5 月 27 日核心宏观数据和美债收益率冲高的双重压制下,谷歌、微软、亚马逊或 Meta 等超大规模云厂商在下半年对数据中心等重资产砸钱的步伐出现边际失速,那么整场芯片战争所赖以生存的总蛋糕都将面临残酷的系统性估值倍数(Valuation Multiple)大清洗,届时全行业泥沙俱下,任何个股的微观进展都绝无可能在大雪崩中逆势独活。
作为坐在交易面板前的你,未来决定多空头寸生死存亡的终极监测变量包括:顶级大厂生产性订单的最终法律合同落地、18A 制程的量产良率拐点、英特尔代工单元经营性亏损的边际改善情况、台积电先进封装的扩产速度,以及全球超大规模云厂商的 AI 资本开支大盘有无发生见顶刹车。
