According to the data, Tesla's total automobile production in the second quarter was 258580, with a total delivery of 254695

Tesla delivered 238533 model 3 and model y and 16162 model s and model X. Compared with the same period last year, Tesla's delivery volume in the second quarter increased by 26.5%, but fell by 17.9% month on month

Tesla reported new car deliveries that were slightly lower than analysts' expectations. According to the data compiled by the street account under FactSet, a market research institution, analysts expect Tesla to deliver 256520 vehicles in the second quarter. However, in the second quarter, Tesla's production and delivery were affected by many adverse factors, including epidemic restrictions, supply chain chaos, and supply shortages of semiconductor chips and other parts

in the second quarter of 2021, Tesla delivered 201250 vehicles, which was the first time that the company delivered more than 200000 vehicles in three months. Tesla delivered 310048 vehicles in the first quarter of 2022. Tesla seems unlikely to grow faster than last year. Last year, the delivery volume increased by 90% to 940000 vehicles. Analysts from wadebush said it was more realistic to achieve 50% growth in 2022

Tesla also hopes that its delivery volume can "grow at a rate close to 50% per year", but now it seems that even achieving this goal has become particularly challenging. In the first quarter financial report, Tesla once said, "we plan to improve our manufacturing capacity as soon as possible. In the next few years, we expect vehicle delivery to achieve an average annual growth rate of 50%."

delivery data is a closely watched indicator for Tesla, because it can provide clues for the outside world to understand the company's financial performance. This figure is also widely regarded as a barometer of the demand for electric vehicles, because Tesla has always led the trend of the electric vehicle market

musk warned in an internal memo that this would be a "very difficult quarter". However, musk said earlier this year that he expected the auto production in the third and fourth quarters to "significantly increase", and Tesla is expected to increase the production to more than 1.5 million vehicles this year

Tesla has no global sales data by geographical location, but the United States and China have long been its largest markets. The company currently produces model s, model x, model 3 and model y models, and plans to start producing electric pickup trucks, electric trucks and sports cars

in the second quarter, affected by the epidemic, Tesla's Shanghai plant had to be closed or only allowed to operate for a few weeks. China is the world's largest auto market, accounting for about 40% of Tesla's sales. In addition, the conflict in Ukraine also exacerbated the supply chain chaos, which in turn affected Tesla and even the entire automotive industry

in addition to the Fremont and Shanghai plants in California, Tesla is also trying to cope with the high cost of expanding and starting production at new plants near Austin, Texas, and Berlin, Germany. Its CEO Elon Musk has publicly said that the new plant has lost billions of dollars, but it has not been able to produce enough cars and batteries

in the last few days of the second quarter, although musk continued to remain silent on twitter, other executives were personally involved in delivering cars to customers, including design director Franz von holzhausen. At the end of each season, Tesla tends to go all out, and employees in all departments of the company will help deliver cars in the last few hours

despite the slowdown in delivery growth, Tesla's performance is still better than that of other automakers. General Motors said on Friday that the number of new cars delivered in the United States in the second quarter fell by 15% from the same period last year. Similarly, Toyota Motor reported a 23% drop in sales in the United States

as start-ups and traditional automakers provide more new electric vehicles, Tesla's share in the U.S. and global electric vehicle market is expected to decline, but it will still maintain its leading edge

Tesla said on Saturday that it would release its second quarter earnings after the closing of the stock market on July 20. The annual general meeting of shareholders will be held on August 4. (small)
