By midnight Saturday Tesla Motors managed to take about 276,000 applications on the newest electric Model 3, which will be collected only at the end of next year. Given the size of the deposit, which is required to be made to reserve an electric company for a couple of days could gain $ 276 million. However, experts believe that this is only a drop in the bucket of those investments that Tesla will have to release volumes of Model 3.
In particular, Tesla Motors in the first quarter, shipped just 14,820 cars instead of the planned 16,000 units. The most serious shortage was recently presented at the crossover Model X - were produced only 2400 pieces. However, up to 750 units per week, did not help to improve the situation at the end of the quarter . CEO Elon Musk blames the limited volumes of Tesla Model X manufacture deficiency of certain components and their own desire to saturate electric car with the latest technology in the first generation.
However, in the first quarter Tesla Motors has increased the total volume of electric supply by 48% compared to the same period last year, and just this year the company expects to release 80 to 90 thousand electric cars of different models. the company managed to surpass their own expectations - Last year, 50,658 electric vehicles were produced. Throughout its history, Tesla Motors has released no more than 122 thousand electric vehicles . Related Products :
