Tesla enters the Turkish market and is expected to hit the 1.5 million production mark this year

This year, the pursuit of higher production and sales targets is the most urgent thing for this American car company.

The U.S. Stock Research Agency learned that according to Sina Technology news, in order to further expand market share, Tesla recently appointed Kemal Ge er as the general manager of Turkey to be responsible for the country's business, which also means that Tesla officially entered the Turkish market.

Tesla is currently building a network of superchargers in Turkey that will cover much of the Balkans, including Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania and other countries, though there are no details about Tesla's sales targets in Turkey.

In 2021, Turkey sold nearly 4,000 electric vehicles. It is worth noting that in 2020 this figure is only 1600 vehicles. It is estimated that the country expects about 7,000-8,000 electric vehicle users.

In 2021, all three of Turkey's best-selling models are internal combustion engine models. The first place is Fiat Egea, known in some markets as Fiat Tipo, followed by Toyota Corolla and Renault Clio.

Last year, Tesla's journey to the sea in Europe and China has become smoother.

According to automotive data analyst JATO Dynamics, Tesla's Model 3 has become the best-selling electric car model in 28 markets in Europe in 2021. The data shows that the number of new car registrations in 28 markets in Europe in 2021 was 11.75 million, a low since 1985. FELIPE Munoz, a global analyst at JATO, commented, "The uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and the chronic shortage of semiconductors brought a perfect storm to the passenger car market last year. ”

In addition, according to the final data released by the Association, Tesla's sales in China in December were 70,847, and only 245 vehicles were exported. At the same time, including exports, Tesla's Shanghai factory delivered 413,283 units in the whole year, an increase of 235% year-on-year, accounting for 51.7% of Tesla's global deliveries.

At Tesla's shareholders' meeting held in October last year, the ambition was constantly on display. The most sympathetic is that it will sell 20 million vehicles a year by 2030.

Perhaps next, as long as the chip shortage can be alleviated as soon as possible, Tesla will have no problem maintaining the current growth rate, at least for a longer period of time to maintain more than 50% growth. That is to say, Tesla's new production and sales target in 2022 will most likely hit the 1.5 million mark.
