According to foreign media CleanTechnica, Tesla's 2021 financial statements show that the number of Tesla employees has increased by 40% as of 2021, with a total of nearly 100,000 people.
Due to good corporate management capabilities, Tesla sales reached a new high in 2021, with a total of 936,000 vehicles sold worldwide, an increase of 87% year-on-year compared with the previous year. The production capacity of some factories has exceeded that of traditional car companies such as Ford, which can be described as a rising star.
Tesla used last year's operating data and financial data to respond forcefully to negative expectations from the outside world and sat firmly in the top spot in the electric vehicle industry.
First, Tesla's employee growth rate last year was rapid The number of employees still needs to be improved
Tesla's annual financial statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) show that the number of employees grew to 99,290 in 2021, a 40% increase in just one year.
By the end of 2020, Tesla's financial report said that Tesla had more than 70,000 full-time employees worldwide. As of December 31, 2021, there were more than 99,000 full-time employees worldwide.
Because the number of part-time Tesla employees is unknown, if it is counted, the total may exceed 100,000.
Tesla believes that their achievements come from excellent employee management skills.
The head of Tesla said in an interview: "So far, we have a good relationship with employees and have not stopped work due to labor disputes. Tesla's workforce management goal is to attract, develop and retain top talent while incorporating the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion, and the spirit of practice into Tesla's core values. ”
But in terms of the number of employees, Tesla still has a long way to go to compete with traditional automakers. Although the total number of Tesla employees is far less than that of traditional car companies, if it can maintain the current 40% employee growth rate, it is still expected to catch up with Ford.
According to foreign media Teslaati, the top two employees are Volkswagen and Toyota, with about 665,000 and about 370,000 people, respectively, while Ford has about 180,000 employees, twice that of Tesla.

Second, compared with traditional car companies, Tesla has a higher production capacity
Tesla's quarterly production and deliveries are also record and profitable. Although Tesla has only two factories, it is still building new ones, in Texas in the United States and Berlin in Germany.
According to Bloomberg, Tesla's Fremont plant will produce an average of 8,550 cars per week in 2021, more than Toyota's 8,427 at its Georgetown, Kentucky plant, and also more than BMW's 8,343 at its Spartanburg plant in South Carolina and Ford's 5,564 at Its Dearborn plant in Michigan.
In terms of totals, Tesla is close to outperforming Toyota, but Toyota's factory in Kentucky is almost twice the size of Tesla's Fremont plant, so Tesla produces more cars per square foot (about 0.1 square meters) than Toyota. Tesla produces more cars in the same area of factories, and it is constantly building new factories.

Conclusion: Tesla's number of employees and production are still growing rapidly
As a representative of the emerging electric vehicle industry, Tesla is still working hard to study technology and Seiko Boyi. With the construction and production of the Texas and Berlin factories in the United States and Berlin, Germany, and the continuous improvement of battery technology, Tesla's employee demand will increase, and production will also increase.
