Recently, Tesla officially released production and delivery data for 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2021, with a total of 930,422 Teslas produced in 2021, with deliveries reaching 936,172, an increase of 87.2% compared with 2022. A total of 305,840 Teslas were produced in the fourth quarter, with 308,600 deliveries, and Tesla's overall sales reached a new high.
From the data point of view, Tesla sales in 2021 soared thanks to tesla Model 3 and Model Y, these two models produced a total of 906,032 units throughout the year, the actual delivery volume was 911,208 quantities, while the Model S and Model X produced a total of 24,390 quantities, the actual delivery volume was 24,964 quantities. Tesla's sales in 2021 have exceeded Tesla analysts' estimates, and China, as Tesla's largest single market in the world, the total production volume of Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory has exceeded that of the Fremont factory, which has greatly improved Tesla's delivery speed.
Although the number of Tesla sales has reached a new high, Tesla's safety problems can not be ignored, Tesla just recently recalled nearly 500,000 Teslas in the United States and 200,000 Teslas sold in China, because the Model 3 opening and closing may cause wear and tear on the rearview camera line, and the hood lock of the Model S may suddenly open, increasing the driving risk.
