Following the release of Tesla’s 1st quarter production and delivery numbers, I wanted to take a closer look at Tesla’s long-term delivery trends. To make it a little more fun, though, I’m going out on a thin limb and also creating charts forecasting quarterly Tesla deliveries for the remainder of … [continued]
I noticed that in the past month “Troy Teslike,” an occasional writer on CleanTechnica and obsessive Tesla delivery tracker and forecaster, got word that Tesla Giga Shanghai had added a second shift for production of the Tesla Model Y. He got an update a little more than two weeks later, … [continued]
We’ve gotten some great electric vehicle news this week in the United States — the Chevy Bolt EV had a record 1st quarter, the Audi e-tron had a record quarter, the Ford Mustang Mach-E arrived with a bang, and US-based EV giant Tesla had a record quarter. As I’ve been … [continued]
“Troy Teslike” is probably the person outside of Tesla who tracks Tesla deliveries more closely than anyone else. He provides quarterly delivery estimates a few times a quarter, with the last one right at the end of the quarter and typically very close to what ends up being the official … [continued]
After completing my 2020 US Electric Vehicle Sales Report, it crossed my mind that it would be interesting to look at longer-term US electric vehicle and broader car sales trends. So, I found the data and have created 3 charts for you to enjoy and examine below. All 3 charts … [continued]
How did US electric vehicle sales go in 2020? We’ve published reports for Europe and China, but US electric vehicle sales have been left nearly untouched. The problems are: 1) there is no unified reporting agency for the country that reports out vehicle registrations, 2) there aren’t even state reports … [continued]
Tesla’s vehicle registrations in California were up almost 63% during the 4th quarter of 2020 compared with the 4th quarter of 2019, Reuters reported. The article noted that this was mostly due to the success of Tesla’s newest addition to its line — the Model Y.
Tesla has published its official 4th quarter 2020 and full-year 2020 vehicle production and delivery numbers. Details are below. They show that Troy Teslike, whose estimates I wrote about yesterday, was off by only 3,142 for the full year. In other words, not much changes from yesterday’s discussion, but scroll down for the details and new CleanTechnica charts.
“Troy Teslike” obsessively tracks Tesla registration data. He has a superb history when it comes to Tesla sales estimates (delivery estimates) at the end of each quarter. He also occasionally contributes articles for CleanTechnica and will do so much more in 2021. For now, though, he has shared his 2020 Tesla delivery estimates and I will dig into them to highlight the points that stand out to me, as well as create a couple of charts based on these figures.
A rough estimate is that about 70% of new Tesla sales in the US are Tesla Model Y sales.
