Tesla says it remains firmly committed to investing in American manufacturing and infrastructure — and it has the numbers to back it up.
In a new statement posted to X, Tesla revealed that it invested nearly $10 billion USD in capital expenditures across the United States during the last fiscal year alone. That figure is part of a broader long-term investment strategy that has seen the company pour approximately $44 billion into U.S.-based facilities and infrastructure since its inception.
Tesla also noted that it plans to invest another $8 billion this fiscal year as it continues scaling its operations and expanding capacity at key locations, including Gigafactory Texas, Gigafactory Nevada, and the recently expanded Fremont plant in California.
The electric vehicle maker’s capital spending supports not just EV manufacturing, but also critical infrastructure for batteries and its sustainable energy products. Not to mention AI-focused computing, which powers Tesla’s growing focus on autonomy and AI training through its Dojo supercomputer project.
These investments come at a pivotal time for Tesla. The company is under increasing competitive pressure in the global EV market, especially from Chinese automakers, and is also in the midst of ramping up production for the Cybertruck, refining its Full Self-Driving (FSD) platform, and preparing for the commercial rollout of its Robotaxi service.
As Tesla continues to position itself not just as a car company but as a vertically integrated energy and AI company, these multibillion-dollar U.S. investments signal that Elon Musk’s long-term bet on American-made innovation is only accelerating.
