In the latest development, Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) has reportedly projected a slower increase in the production and delivery of its 787 widebody jets. This is primarily due to supplier shortages,
What Happened: Scott Stocker, the 787 vice president and general manager, disclosed the situation to employees at the South Carolina facility via a memo on Monday, Reuters reported. Despite the hurdles, Boeing is determined to incrementally increase its rate to cater to the &#8220;strong demand&#8221;.
The memo highlighted, &#8220;We continue to manage through supplier shortages on a few key parts.&#8221; 
It also mentioned that customers have been notified about the anticipated slower increase in production and deliveries.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is keeping a close watch on Boeing&#8217;s challenges in procuring certain parts and is in constant communication with the company. The agency&#8217;s primary concern is to ensure that only safe and compliant airplanes are dispatched from the factory.

Boeing, scheduled to announce earnings on Wednesday, is facing scrutiny over the manufacturing of its 777 and 787 widebody jets. This comes in the wake of allegations by company engineer Sam Salehpour at a U.S. Senate hearing last week, who pointed out inadequate shimming in some areas of the 787 Dreamliner.
Furthermore, the company&#8217;s separate production of its 737 MAX single-aisle jet in Washington state has experienced a significant decline, as U.S. regulators tighten factory inspections and workers slow down the assembly line to complete outstanding work.
A Boeing spokesperson confirmed to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a> about the memo but refrained from divulging further details.
Why It Matters: The latest development comes on the heels of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38330613/boeing-grapples-with-32-whistleblower-complaints-in-3-years-amid-mounting-safety-concerns-report">32 whistleblower complaints</a> against Boeing over the past three years, with allegations of employer retaliation being investigated by the U.S. workplace safety regulator. This has raised significant safety concerns for the company.
Moreover, as Boeing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38365885/boeing-will-deliver-q1-earnings-while-at-center-of-air-safety-scandal-everybody-wan"> prepares to release its Q1 earnings</a>, investors are keen to see if the company&#8217;s performance can offset the recent scandals that have tarnished its public image.
Price Action: On Monday, the stock closed at 170.48, with a slight increase of 0.22% from the previous close.

Boeing Foresees Slower 787 Production Ramp-Up Due To Supplier Shortages: Report (UPDATED)

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), has expressed his dissatisfaction with the term GPU while announcing that the company&#8217;s core AI infrastructure is no <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/34128510/elon-musk-affirms-training-compute-will-not-be-a-constraint-for-teslas-full-self-driving-improvement">longer training-constrained</a>.
What Happened: During the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38390883/tesla-q1-earnings-highlights-ev-giant-misses-wall-street-estimates-makes-cost-cuts-invests-in-ai-sp">first-quarter earnings call</a> on Tuesday, Musk revealed that Tesla has been actively expanding its core AI infrastructure. He stated, &#8220;We are, at this point, no longer training-constrained, and so we&#8217;re making rapid progress.&#8221;
The tech billionaire also disclosed that Tesla has installed and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38111017/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-disagrees-with-nvidias-jensen-huang-that-anyone-can-make-their-own-neural-networ">commissioned 35,000 H100</a> computers or GPUs and Tesla anticipates this number to potentially reach around 85,000 by the end of the year, primarily <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36707594/not-clear-quips-elon-musk-as-tesla-enthusiast-questions-metas-plan-to-buy-nvidias-ai-chips-equiv">for training purposes</a>.

&#8220;We are making sure that we&#8217;re being as efficient as possible in our training,&#8221; Musk said, adding that it is not just about the number of H100s but &#8220;how efficiently they&#8217;re used.&#8221; 
During the conversation, Musk also expressed his discomfort with the term GPU. &#8220;I always feel like a wince when I say GPU because it&#8217;s not. GPU stand — G stands for graphics, and it doesn&#8217;t do graphics,&#8221; the tech mogul stated. 
&#8220;GPU is [the] wrong word,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;They need a new word.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s statement came after Tesla reported its first-quarter financial revenue of $21.0 billion, which showed a 9% year-over-year decrease, missing the Street consensus estimate of $22.15 billion. The company stated that its revenue was affected by reduced average selling prices and decreased vehicle deliveries during the quarter.
On the other hand, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) last year made a significant impact on the AI and computing sectors by introducing its H100 data center chip, which added more than $1 trillion to the company&#8217;s overall value. 
In February, earlier this year, it was reported that the demand for the H100 chip, which is four times faster than its predecessor, the A100, in training large language models or LLMs and 30 times faster in responding to user prompts, has been so substantial that customers are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/02/37283133/nvidias-h100-chip-sparks-ai-revolution-boosting-value-by-1t-as-it-unveils-new-chips-for-china">encountering wait times of up to six months</a>.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, Piper Sandler&nbsp;analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38257652/nvidias-hopper-demand-and-blackwell-launch-position-makes-it-a-top-large-cap-pick-analysts">Harsh V. Kumar</a> engaged directly with Nvidia's management team and reported that despite Nvidia&#8217;s Hopper GPU being on the market for almost two years, demand remains strong, outstripping supply. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38257652/nvidias-hopper-demand-and-blackwell-launch-position-makes-it-a-top-large-cap-pick-analysts">Customers are hesitant to shift their orders</a> from the Hopper to the Blackwell, fearing extended wait times due to anticipated supply limitations.

Suzano Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of Suzano, the world&#39;s largest market pulp producer, has made a strategic investment into the Canadian materials science startup, Bioform Technologies. The investment provides up to US$5 million towards the company&#39;s seed round, enabling it to accelerate the development of its novel bio-based plastic alternatives. The products can be manufactured through modified industrial processes already used in the pulp and paper sector.
Bioform&#39;s proprietary technology rapidly produces wood pulp-reinforced hydrogels to create high-performance plastic alternatives, which can be made using Suzano&#39;s wood pulp fibre as a key input. Bioform&#39;s materials have the potential to be home compostable or recycled through existing paper recycling processes and do not require fossil-based inputs. The technology is highly versatile and has a number of applications where it could replace conventional single-use plastics, including paper recyclable thermoformable films for packaging applications and compostable heat-sealable films for pouches, agriculture, and garbage bags.
With the potential to offer an&nbsp;80 percent&nbsp;lower carbon footprint than conventional single-use plastics, Bioform&#39;s technology has similar or enhanced product performance to conventional plastics in areas such as tensile strength and permeability for oxygen or water vapor.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) senior executive Lars Moravy on Tuesday clarified that the company is not inhibited by 4680 cell production to ramp Cybertrucks. 
What Happened: As compared to the previous quarter, 4680 cell production in the first quarter rose by about 18% to 20%, Moravy said during Tesla&#8217;s first-quarter earnings call. In March, the company produced enough cells <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37863738/tesla-smashes-doubts-about-4680-cell-production-says-its-made-enough-batteries-for-1-000-cybertrucks">for over 1000 Cybertrucks</a> at Giga Texas in a week. 
&#8220;We expect to stay ahead of the Cybertruck ramp with the cell production throughout Q2,&#8221; Moravy said while adding that the company is looking to maintain multiple weeks of cell inventory to make sure it&#8217;s ahead of Cybertruck&#8217;s production ramp. However, the cell production will be in tandem with Cybertruck production, he noted
&#8220;We&#8217;re not going to just randomly build 4680s unless we have a place to put them and so we&#8217;re going to make sure we&#8217;re prudent about that,&#8221; he added. Moravy is Vice President of Vehicle Engineering at Tesla. 
Just a couple of weeks ago, the company made 1000 Cybertrucks in a week, Moravy said. While the company is looking to achieve volume production to bring down costs, it still faces challenges with the many new technologies and supplier limitations, he added. 
Why It Matters: In December,&nbsp;Reuters&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36341487/teslas-cybertruck-reportedly-struggles-with-its-pioneering-4680-battery-is-250-000-production-go" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>&nbsp;that the EV giant is struggling to make 4680 cells fast enough to meet its targeted annual delivery rate of a quarter million Cybertrucks. Tesla&#8217;s gigafactory in Texas is making only enough cells for about 24,000 Cybertrucks a year, the report said.
The annual delivery target of 250,000 Cybertrucks, company CEO Elon Musk has previously said, would not be reached this year but only<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35322048/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-details-enormous-challenges-in-reaching-volume-production-for-cybertruck-we-dug" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> in 2025.</a>

Amid fluctuating market conditions and rumors about Elon Musk's role as the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), the tech billionaire has suggested that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38288360/breaking-tesla-shareholders-to-vote-again-on-ceo-elon-musks-voided-47b-pay-package">continues to spend</a> the majority of his time at the EV giant. 
What Happened: On Tuesday, during <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38390883/tesla-q1-earnings-highlights-ev-giant-misses-wall-street-estimates-makes-cost-cuts-invests-in-ai-sp">Tesla's first-quarter earnings call</a>, Musk was asked that considering he is leading several important companies including SpaceX and X, formerly Twitter, where does his heart actually belong.&nbsp;
The question came from Tony Sacconaghi, a Wall Street analyst from Bernstein, who asked him about the possibility of reduced involvement with Tesla at &#8220;any point over the next three years.&#8221;&nbsp;
In response, Musk sidestepped answering the question directly. He said that Tesla &#8220;constitutes a majority of my work time, and I work pretty much every day of the week, it&#8217;s rare for me to take a Sunday afternoon off.&#8221;
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
The entrepreneur went on to assert that he will make sure &#8220;Tesla is quite prosperous. And it is — like it is prosperous, and it will be very much so in the future.&#8221;
Last year, Tesla director James Murdoch created a stir when he reportedly suggested that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/22/11/29760366/is-elon-musk-stepping-down-as-tesla-ceo-soon-analysts-react-to-succession-comments">Musk has identified a potential successor</a> to replace him.&nbsp;
Why It's Important: Earlier this month, Tesla's stock faced a significant downturn following a report on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38047077/tesla-stock-dives-as-q1-deliveries-disappoint-but-ev-giant-reclaims-top-spot-from-chinese-rival">disappointing first-quarter deliveries</a>. At the time, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38202377/elon-musk-should-pledge-3-5-year-tenure-as-ceo-says-wedbushs-dan-ives-70-of-the-val">70% of Tesla's value is Musk</a>.&nbsp;
&#8220;Musk is Tesla, Tesla is Musk,&#8221; he said.
In January earlier this year, Musk said that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36634396/elon-musk-seeks-greater-control-over-tesla-as-ai-endeavors-multiply-enough-to-be-influential-not-so">would require increased control of Tesla</a> if he is to advance AI endeavors at the company. &#8220;I am uncomfortable growing Tesla to be a leader in AI &amp; robotics without having ~25% voting control. Enough to be influential, but not so much that I can&#8217;t be overturned.&#8221;
Previously, in 2020, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36574844/elon-musk-says-he-never-wanted-to-be-ceo-of-tesla-or-anything-running-companies-hurts-my-heart-but-h">Musk admitted that he never wanted</a> to be CEO of Tesla. &#8220;This is misinterpreted like I somehow don't love Tesla, which I do, it's just like trying not to go insane with work,&#8221; he said at the time.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Tesla, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;offered a glimpse into his&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38286437/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-going-balls-to-the-wall-for-autonomous-driving-is-blindingly-obvious-as-eve" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;blindingly obvious&#8221;&nbsp;robotaxi&nbsp;strategy</a>&nbsp;during the company&#8217;s first-quarter earnings call on Tuesday, highlighting a potential name for the autonomous vehicle — &#8220;Cybercab&#8221; — and a unique ownership model inspired by&nbsp;Airbnb&nbsp;and&nbsp;Uber.
Dual Ownership Fleet:&nbsp;Musk described the forthcoming&nbsp;robotaxi&nbsp;fleet as functioning &#8220;like a combination of Airbnb and Uber.&#8221; This suggests a two-pronged approach: Tesla will own and operate a segment of the&nbsp;robotaxi&nbsp;fleet, while also offering individuals the opportunity to integrate their&nbsp;personal&nbsp;vehicles into the network for rental purposes.&nbsp;
This concept echoes a similar vision presented by Musk in 2019, as per Reuters, where a&nbsp;robotaxi&nbsp;network was expected to be operational by 2020.

&#8216;Cybercab&#8217; Name Emerges:&nbsp;During the call, Musk casually referred to the &#8220;purpose-built&nbsp;robotaxi&nbsp;product&#8221; as the &#8220;Cybercab.&#8221; While it&#8217;s unclear if this is a placeholder or the final name, it hints at a potential design direction.
Design Inspiration:&nbsp;According to Musk&#8217;s biographer&nbsp;Walter Isaacson, the design for the&nbsp;robotaxi, as well as the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38262675/not-good-for-tesla-if-its-true-says-fund-manager-as-new-report-says-ev-maker-has-pu" rel="noreferrer noopener">now-scrapped $25,000 EV</a>, was influenced by a February 2023 design review session. Inspired&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34422336/elon-musk-biographer-walter-isaacsons-interview-raises-speculations-on-tesla-robotaxi-design" rel="noreferrer noopener">by the Tesla Cybertruck</a>, both vehicles reportedly share a futuristic aesthetic characterized by angular lines and stainless steel construction.
Durability in Focus:&nbsp;In a playful jab at self-driving car company&nbsp;Waymo, Musk this week commented on a parody video showcasing the Cybertruck&#8217;s durability, suggesting it might be better suited for San Francisco&#8217;s&nbsp;robotaxi&nbsp;scene due to recent vandalism incidents.&nbsp;
Uncertain Timeline, Clearer Vision:&nbsp;While the precise timeline for the Cybercab&#8217;s launch remains unconfirmed, these developments paint a clearer picture of Tesla&#8217;s self-driving ambitions.&nbsp;
While some analysts like&nbsp;Gene Munster&nbsp;support Tesla&#8217;s focus on autonomous vehicles, others like&nbsp;Gary Black&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38286437/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-going-balls-to-the-wall-for-autonomous-driving-is-blindingly-obvious-as-eve" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">warn it&#8217;s risky</a>&nbsp;to prioritize robotaxis over developing the previously planned low-cost electric car. Importantly, Musk has long championed autonomous Teslas functioning as robotaxis, even identifying it as a key driver of value in 2023.
