Key Takeaways: A brief examination of the data reveals that, before the third quarter, there was a consistent increase in production each quarter, except for two quarters in 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related lockdowns and factory restrictions. Additionally, the first and second quarters of 2022 also saw a decline in production, influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns in China.
After posting quarter-over-quarter declines in the third quarter, Tesla is back into growth mode with the fourth quarter results.
The company posted records for both deliveries and production in the fourth quarter, which comes against lofty targets from internal estimates and analyst projections.
Tesla said in 2023 that it remains on course to meet its goal of production increasing an average of 50% annually.
"We are planning to grow production as quickly as possible in alignment with the 50% CAGR target we began guiding to in early 2021. In some years we may grow faster and some we may grow slower, depending on a number of factors. For 2023, we expect to remain ahead of the long-term 50% CAGR with around 1.8 million cars for the year," the company said.
