“In the first quarter we produced over 305,000 vehicles and delivered over 310,000 vehicles, despite ongoing supply chain challenges and factory shutdowns,” the company said.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the first quarter exceptional given the challenges faced in China and by the supply chain.
“Outstanding work by Tesla team & key suppliers saved the day,” Musk tweeted.
Going forward, Tesla opened its Gigafactory in Berlin in the first quarter and is opening its Gigafactory in Austin, Texas on April 7. The new factories will help the company push forward on a goal of producing two million vehicles annually, with a current goal of 1.5 million vehicles produced in 2022.

Key Takeaways: A quick look at the figures shows that production has increased in each sequential quarter with the exception of two quarters in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic with lockdowns and factory restrictions and the recently reported first and second quarters of 2022, which was once again affected by COVID-19 lockdowns in China.
Deliveries have also grown in each quarter, with the exception of two quarters in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and the second quarter of 2022, hurt by factory shutdowns and production numbers.
The data shows that Tesla continues to expand its production capabilities and is continuing to see increased demand from consumers, a trend investors hope will continue.
