440,808 Teslas were produced in the first quarter, also a new record. This allowed the manufacturer from Texas to surpass its previous record quarter of 2022/4, in which 439,701 vehicles were built and 405,278 cars were delivered. While there was only a slight increase in production numbers, the restructuring of logistics made it possible to deliver 17,500 more cars.

Gigafactories Increase Their Production Rate

The plant in Grünheide recently reported a weekly production rate of 5,000 vehicles, while Tesla's Gigafactory in Texas reaches 4,000 Model Y per week. While the premium models S and X were built 19,437 times and 10,695 vehicles were delivered, 421,371 cars of the volume models 3 and Y were produced and 412,180 delivered in the first quarter.

"We are continuing the transition to a more balanced regional mix of vehicle productions, including the Model S/X vehicles, which are on the road in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) and APAC (Asia Pacific)," the company stated.

What does this mean?

The manufacturer has big plans. This year, Tesla wants to produce 1.8 million electric vehicles, and long-term, Elon Musk intends to increase production by 50 percent every year.
