Compared to the 430,488 cars Tesla produced at the same time last year and the 435,059 cars it delivered at the time, production is up by about 9% and deliveries are up by about 6%.
According to Bloomberg, increased international demand for electric cars drove shipments up overall.
Demand in the electric vehicle industry is slowing down for new cars but accelerating for used ones, per CNN Business. Ford also recently attempted to drive up demand by offering free home chargers and installation with the purchase or lease of one of their cars.
