Key Takeaways: For many years, Tesla showed consistent growth in production and deliveries. The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns and factory restrictions led to lower production.
Tesla also had several quarters of year-over-year declines in deliveries in 2024, with the most recently reported third quarter showing a return to growth.
The electric vehicle company delivered 1,808,581 vehicles in 2023, up 38% year-over-year. The company's Model Y vehicle became the bestselling vehicle globally, a first for Tesla and the electric vehicle sector.
Tesla said it is between growth waves, with the first wave being the expansion of the Model 3 and Model Y and the next one being the global expansion of a next-gen vehicle.
“In 2024, our vehicle volume growth rate may be notably lower than the growth rate achieved in 2023, as our teams work on the launch of the next-generation vehicle at Gigafactory Texas,” the company said.
Tesla said it remains focused on growing its output.
“We are focused on bringing the next-generation platform to market as quickly as we can.”
Tesla hosts its Robotaxi Day on Oct. 10, which could highlight the company's future vehicles and growth initiatives.
