Tesla CEO Elon Musk set a goal of shipping 500,000 units per year five years ago. In the announcement of the settlement on January 2 (local time), it announced that it had produced 5,09,737 units of all 4 models S, X, 3, and Y in 2020 and paid 490,550 units. Although it did not reach 450 units, it is the highest record for an electric vehicle manufacturer.
Tesla, which achieved all-time high performance in the third quarter earnings report conducted in October 2020, announced that it produced 145,036 units, of which 13,9,300 units were shipped. In the midst of the spread of Corona 19, it has continued to grow, and it is declared to achieve 500,000 vehicles production and delivery by 2020.
Tesla showed an increase of 71% year-on-year due to the production of electric vehicles, and 61% increase compared to the previous year through payments. It can be said that it is a remarkable growth for automobile manufacturers that only handle electric vehicles. In addition, Tesla added that the 4Q figure has not yet been confirmed, so there is a possibility that it may fluctuate by more than 0.5%. Tesla has a 90-day free license to use the FSD option for 3 days at the end of 2020, and in some cases, it is still possible to exceed 500,000 units.
Tesla received worldwide attention, with its market capitalization exceeding Doota in July 2020. However, it is still a small automaker. GM sold 7.7 million units in 2019, and BMW, which has a luxury car lineup, is selling more than 2.5 million units.
However, Tesla is still growing, and narrowing down to electric vehicles, it is clear that Tesla is leading. Tesla is expected to introduce a version of the Model S Plaid in 2021 and start production of Cybertruck, which can further improve performance. In addition, the Model Y, which started production at the Shanghai plant in China, could also significantly increase the number of production units. Related information can be found here .
