After corona-related production downtime in Shanghai, Tesla broke the series of quarterly records for deliveries.
The electric car manufacturer brought 254,695 vehicles to customers in the second quarter. In the first quarter it was still a good 310,000. Tesla had recently increased deliveries from quarter to quarter.
Tesla referred on Saturday to “challenges in the supply chain” and plant closures over which the company has no control. Compared to the second quarter of last year, with a good 201,000 cars delivered, there was still growth.
Tesla boss Elon Musk (51) had recently expressed confidence that production would pick up again as the year progressed. The 3 and Y models continue to account for the majority of deliveries.
