Tesla China has just posted a record delivery number for the month of February producing and selling 74,402 vehicles. This number is even more impressive when we take into account that Tesla has shut down the Giga Shanghai Model 3 production line for half of the month.
Europeans Line Up For An Hour To Get Their First Glimpse Of The Model Y As Tesla Begins Deliveries torquenews.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from torquenews.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
What is even more impressive is Tesla is still ramping up Model Y production at Giga Shanghai. And when the Model Y production line is fully ramped it’s not too far-fetched to imagine Tesla delivering as many Model Ys in China as the Model 3.
However, according to Elon Musk, he expects the Model Y to sell more than the Model 3, S, and X combined. This makes sense given the Model Y is in the crossover segment which is by far the largest automotive segment in the world.
If the made in China Model Y matches the Model 3 numbers that will give Tesla a run rate of over 600,000 vehicles a year. And if the Model Y indeed becomes more popular than the Model 3, I don’t want to even speculate what kind of delivery numbers Tesla will be posting out of China.
