Tesla deliveries in the second quarter of 2020 suffered a bit from supply chain challenges and covid-related lockdowns in Shanghai, China, home of Tesla Giga Shanghai. It was the first quarter in a long time in which Tesla deliveries weren’t higher than in the quarter before. However, one thing always … [continued]
With Tesla’s 4th quarter and full-year 2021 sales figures in, it’s time to look at those numbers in the context of history. As Will Meek has pointed out in a couple of comments under this article, Tesla actually reached 1.4% of global light-duty passenger vehicle sales last year. Clearly, its … [continued]
We’ve been covering Tesla sales for the past 9 years, since the Model S arrived. At many steps along the way, I’ve thought the quarterly sales chart has shown amazing growth. Looking back to those points now, they look like small successes and periods of low sales. How things change … [continued]

I reported yesterday on Tesla’s record quarterly production and deliveries (aka sales). It’s another stunning feat. Tesla’s the first company in the world to sell more than 200,000 electric vehicles in a quarter.
