Tesla supplied 254,695 electric vehicles worldwide in the second quarter, a decrease of almost 18% compared to the previous period as a result of limitations in the supply chain, China’s extensive COVID-19-Lockdown and challenges about opening factories in Berlin and Austin , took their toll from the company.
This is the first time in two years that Tesla deliveries, which were 310,048 in the first period this year, fell quarterly to quarter. Tesla’s deliveries rose by 26.5% compared to the second quarter last year.
The quarterly-on-quarter reduction is in line with a wider supply chain problem in the industry. It also illustrates the importance of Tesla’s factory in Shanghai for his company. Tesla closed his factory in Shanghai several times in March due to the increasing COVID-19 cases that led to a government closure.
