Tesla… Achieved the first annual surplus

Tesla announced its settlement for the fourth quarter of 2020. Tesla broke the deficit that has continued since its inception for the first time on an annual basis and recorded a scholar of $721 million.

According to Tesla reports, sales in the fourth quarter of 2020 were $10.7 billion and net profit was a surplus of $270 million. Total sales in 2020 were $31.5 billion, a 28% increase from the previous year, and net profit was $721 million.

Tesla faced a bankruptcy crisis in 2017 due to manufacturing problems, and net profit in 2019 was a deficit of $862 million, but only achieved its first annual surplus in 2020. This turnaround can be seen as a good wind when global warming has attracted global attention and demand for electric vehicles has increased. Not only that, it also achieved the company’s highest number of shipments of 499,647 units per year. This is a little insufficient in the initial promise to ship 500,000 units within 2020, but favorable reports continue that it could have been achieved without the factory closure due to Corona 19.

In 2021, it is expected to produce 600,000 units per year at the Fremont plant in the US and 450,000 units at the Shanghai plant in China, and new plants to be built in Berlin, Germany and Austin, the US are also expected to operate. If everything goes according to plan, it is said that it can achieve 1 million units per year, which is twice as much as in 2020.

In addition to the Suzy report, the Korean version of Tesla announced the model S renewal. In addition to the exterior of the new model S, the front bumper, rear diffuser, and wheel design were partially improved, and the interior also adopted a touch screen on the bezel, the range was increased to 840 km, and the zero back was added as a 2-second powertrain option. It is explained that it has become a mass-produced car with high acceleration performance.

Some have introduced the model 3 built-in, such as the adoption of a horizontal screen display, but the rest are completely new. The screen located in the center of the front is a 17-inch horizontal and horizontal display with a resolution of 1900×1200 and 2200×1300. In addition to the driver’s 12.3-inch display visible inside the steering wheel, the rear seat also has an 8-inch display.

In addition, the new model S will also be equipped with a gaming computer equipped with a 10TFLOPS GPU. The processing speed of 10 TFLOPS corresponds to 10.28 TFLOPS for the PlayStation 5 and 12 TFLOPS for the Xbox Series X, and it is expected to be a game environment comparable to the next generation game consoles. Details of the gaming computer mounted on the vehicle will be revealed in the future.

Meanwhile, in a quarterly earnings report, CEO Elon Musk said in a quarterly earnings report that the company’s pickup truck, Cybertruck, could ship in small quantities within this year and start mass production in 2022, if lucky.

Shareholder data does not introduce changes to the appearance of cyber trucks, but the 2021 cyber truck steering is said to be an inverted U-shaped rather than a wheel shape. As Elon Musk CEOI said that the design is already over, it can be said that it is highly likely to remain as it is in the commercial model.

In addition, it has been announced that it will be mass-produced in 2022, but the new Testa roadster and semi-trailer heads announced before cyber trucks have not yet moved to mass production. In this regard, CEO Elon Musk said that building a prototype is simple, but that the scale of commercial production is very difficult. Tesla says it will use an 8,000-ton high-pressure casting facility, which exceeds the 6,000-ton giga press used in the world’s largest model Y, to manufacture cyber truck bodies. The cyber truck will be produced in Giga Texas, which Tesla built in Texas.
