Tesla Deliveries 2022

Tesla got a jump on the car industry with its electric cars. Being an exclusive electric car maker is an advantage production wise as is having an owner with deep pockets. In addition, a faithful following of 'believers' is more than useful. Government incentives have aided electric manufacturers in general.

The issue is staying ahead and winning over more to the brand. Each year sales have grown and for 2022 that is still the case. Q4 deliveries were up 31% in the same time a year earlier and supply issues seem to be easing. 

Deliveries: As the chart to the right shows, Q1 deliveries increased by 68%, 27% for Q2 and 42% for Q3. Deliveries ended up a healthy +40% in total. 

Production: For the first part of the year, production was similar to deliveries but for the second half pulled ahead. That shows supply is improving and 2023 should start with some strong delivery figures as the cars arrive at their destination. 

In the end, 1,369,611 cars were produced, an amazing figure for a relatively new car manufacturer. 2023 will be intriguing.
