Tesla produced more than 250,000 electric cars in 2018
- California electric car manufacturer Tesla produced 254,530 vehicles in 2018 (including 152,977 Model 3, 65,627 Model S, 35,926 Model X), making it the world's leading electric vehicle manufacturer.
- The American manufacturer now expects to reach 350,000 sales in 2019 and exceed 500,000 sales in 2020.
- Inovev considers these objectives realistic, especially since two new models should be launched soon, including a roadster and a 100% electric truck. But Tesla is counting above all on the launch of a D-segment SUV, the Y model, and on the growth of the 100% electric vehicle market in China, which is the leading market for this type of engine and which is investing heavily in the development of this market for the coming years.
- Tesla has confirmed that its Chinese plant in Shanghai will be able to produce up to 200,000 vehicles per year, starting in 2020. The models concerned will be the Model 3 and the future Model Y, which will be an SUV variant of the Model 3. The Model S and Model X models that will continue to be sold in China will be imported from the United States as they are today. However, the latter two models will be handicapped by the taxes on vehicles imported from America that the Chinese government introduced last year in response to US taxes on vehicles imported from China. With two plants located in the two largest markets in the world, Tesla will likely reach 500,000 units produced in 2020.
