Those who thought Tesla could soon lose its status as the world's most valuable automaker couldn't be more wrong. Since beating out Toyota for that title last summer, Tesla has been on a roll and it's continuing in 2021. For the first three months of the year, Tesla posted record deliveries despite the many challenges automakers continue to face as the world tries to emerge from the coronavirus pandemic. It also defied Wall Street expectations.
"We are encouraged by the strong reception of the Model Y in China and are quickly progressing to full production capacity," Tesla said in an official statement. "The new Model S and Model X have also been exceptionally well received… and we are in the early stages of ramping production."
