The U.S. electric car manufacturer has sold a whopping 466,140 vehicles worldwide last quarter, marking a new all-time record according to its own bookkeepers.
More shipments doesn’t necessarily mean more profits, though. Tesla had to resort to aggressive price slashing to get there, and still hasn’t posted a report on revenue. We should learn more on July 19 when the report for Q2 gets published.
The company sold 422,000 EVs in the first quarter of the year, also setting a year-on-year record. Wall Street number crunchers believed it was on course to selling 448,000 units the next quarter, but the company outperformed their expectations. The YoY growth amounted to 83%.
The vast majority of cars sold were Model 3 and Model Y.
