Tesla produced 364,236 electric cars in 2019
- The Californian electric car maker Tesla produced 364,236 vehicles at its Fremont plant in 2019, compared to 254,530 units in 2018 (representing a 43% year-over-year increase), thereby strengthening its position of worldwide electric carmaker leader.
- This strong increase is due to the strong progress of the Model 3 sedan (segment D) which was produced in 300,000 units last year, despite a difficult start of production. Today, the plant releases 35,000 Model 3 every month.
- The carmaker's objectives, which had been set for 350,000 vehicles produced in 2019, were therefore reached, or even slightly exceeded, thanks to the success of the Model 3 sedan observed in many countries (this model has become number 1 in sales in Norway and in the Netherlands for example).
- The carmaker has announced its 2020 targets set at 500,000 sales, thanks to the marketing of the Model Y (a D-segment SUV closely derived from the Model 3) and the recently unveiled pickup Model X, as well as the start of production of the Chinese plant which will strengthen Tesla's footprint in China. For Inovev, these objectives seem realistic taking into account these new models planned for 2020. It is to remind that the Chinese Tesla plant located in Shanghai will be able to produce up to 200,000 electric cars per year from this year, which could be achieved in the 2 to 3 coming years.
