Tesla has produced 930,000 electric cars in the first nine months of 2022.
- California-based electric car manufacturer Tesla has produced a total of 929,910 vehicles from January to September 2022. That's 305,328 more vehicles than the same period in 2021 and a 49% increase in production.
- As for the models, the Tesla Model 3, is the most produced vehicle. Production increased by 27% compared to the first nine months of last year. However, the overall share of this model in Tesla's production has decreased from 59% to 51%, which is understandable given the increasing production of other Tesla models. The Model Y is Tesla's second most important vehicle. Its production increased by 8% to 403,287 vehicles and its share of total production increased from 38% to 43%. More vehicles were also produced of the Model S and Model X, but they account for only a small portion of Tesla's production.
- By country, the U.S., where all four models are manufactured, remains the most important production location. Production there has actually increased by 55% and accounts for 53% of total production. The Chinese site, where the Model 3 and Model Y are manufactured, is increasing its production by 33%, but its share of total production is falling from 49% to 44%. The Model Y has also been produced in Germany since April 22. At 27,727 vehicles, its share of total production is only 3%, but the plant is said to have a potential capacity of 500,000 vehicles per year.
- Tesla must be careful not to be overwhelmed by its own success, as greater production also requires greater logistics. In 2022, for example, only 343,830 vehicles were delivered to customers in the third quarter, instead of the 358,000 announced. Tesla CEO Musk also wants to "smooth out the delivery waves at the end of the quarter."
