Tesla’s Production Volume by Vehicle Model

(All figures in actual units)

Model S/X

Tesla produced 0 units of its Model S/X during Q1 2021, which is a 100% decrease when compared to Q4 2020, where 18,920 units were produced. The reason for no production of Model S/X in Q1 2021 was due to the company preparing new updated versions of the Model S/X. Those updated vehicles were supposed to start dispatching in March. But the company ran into an issue with regards to retooling of its production lines in the Gigafactory Fremont, California factory where the Model X and Model S are made, thereby delaying production. Another possible reason for the production delays could be the global chip shortage.

Model 3

The company produced 180,338 units of its Model 3 during Q1 2021, which is a 12% increase when compared to Q4 2020, where 161,650 units were produced. Further, there was a 106% increase when compared to Q1 2020, where 87,282 units were produced. The reason for this increase is the new plant set up in Shanghai which allowed the company to produce cars in China, which is the world’s largest EV market. This helped in increasing the exports of vehicles produced at Gigafactory Shanghai and has been effective in easing the strain on the production of Tesla vehicles.

Tesla’s total production has increased from 102,672 units in Q1 2020 to 180,338 units in Q1 2021, which is a 75% increase. The total production is expected to increase further as the company is planning to set up its Gigafactory in countries such as Norway, Germany and India which will reduce the workload of Gigafactories in Fremont and Shanghai and thus increasing the production rate.
