Elon Musk announces Tesla AI4+ computer, reaffirms AI5 won’t power cars, yet

During Tesla's Q1 2026 earnings call, Elon Musk announced an upgraded **AI4+ computer** for vehicles, which will offer improved performance over the current AI4 hardware. Musk also confirmed that the next-generation **AI5 chip** is not intended for cars and will instead be dedicated to the company's data centers and the Optimus robot. For Tesla owners and enthusiasts, this means their vehicles will see a mid-cycle hardware refresh with AI4+, but they should not expect a major leap to AI5 in their cars.
