Elon Musk
Chief Executive Officer at Tesla
Thank you Martin. So just a Q1 recap. Model Y became the best-selling vehicle of any kind in Europe and the best-selling non-pickup vehicle in the United States. And this is in spite of a lot of challenges in production and delivery so it's a huge credit to the Tesla team for achieving these great results. It is worth pointing out that the current macro environment remains uncertain. I don't think I'm telling anyone they -- anything people already know especially with large purchases such as cars. And while we reduced prices considerably in early Q1 it's worth noting that our operating margin remains among the best in the industry.
We're taking a view that pushing for higher volumes and a larger fleet is the right choice here versus a lower volume and higher margin. However we expect our vehicles over time will be able to generate significant profit through autonomy. So we do believe we're like laying the groundwork here and then it's better to ship a large number of cars at a lower margin and subsequently harvest that margin in the future as we perfect autonomy. This is an extremely important point. Let's see, regarding the Cybertruck we continue to build Alpha versions of the Cybertruck on our pilot line for testing purposes.
It's a great product and we're completing the installation of the volume production line at Giga Texas and we're anticipating having a delivery event -- a big, a great delivery event probably in Q3. As with all new products it'll follow an S-curve of -- so production start up slow and then accelerates. So the Cybertruck is no different. So it's -- [Indecipherable] a demand for the product obviously, it is -- might be a fantastic product a Hall of Famer but as with all new products it takes time to get the manufacturing line going and this is really a very radical products. It's not made in this in the way that other cars are made.
So let's, see with regards to Megapack we're making great progress. Our energy storage deployment reached nearly 4 gigawatt hours in Q1. It's by far the strongest quarter ever and this growth was achieved thanks to the ongoing ramp at our Megafactory in Lathrop, California. There's still some way to go to reach the full run rate of 40 gigawatt hours per year. And then we additionally announced the start of a new Megafactory in Shanghai. So we're -- as we've expected the stationary storage growth actually will significantly exceed the vehicle growth. Regarding autopilot and full self-driving we've now crossed over 150 million miles driven by full self-driving beta and this number is growing exponentially.
I mean this is a data advantage that really no one else has. Those who understand AI will understand the importance of data -- of training data and how fundamental that is to achieving an incredible outcome. So yeah, we're also very focused on improving our neural net training capabilities as it is one of the main limiting factors of achieving full autonomy. So we're continuing to simultaneously make significant purchases of Nvidia GPUs and also putting a lot of effort into Dojo which we believe has the potential for an order of magnitude improvement in the cost of training. And it also -- Dojo also has the potential to become a sellable service that we would offer to other companies in the same way that Amazon Web Services offers web services even though it started out as a bookstore.
So I really think that, yeah, the Dojo potential is very significant. In conclusion, we're taking a view that we want to keep making as many cars as we can despite this being an uncertain macro-environment. This is a good time to increase our lead further and we'll continue to invest in growth as fast as possible. Once again, I'd like to give a huge thanks to all Tesla employees worldwide for doing an incredible job again and yeah, super appreciate it.
