Tesla Inc. delivered 184,800 cars worldwide in the first quarter of 2021, up from about 88,400 in the first three months of 2020.
“We are encouraged by the strong reception of the Model Y in China and are quickly progressing to full production capacity,” the electric vehicle maker said in a statement Friday. The new Model S and Model X have also been “exceptionally well received,” it said, adding that it’s in the early stages of ramping up production.
Tesla currently makes the Model S and X only at its factory in Fremont, Calif., and the smaller Model 3 and Y both there and at its plant in Shanghai. The company doesn’t break out sales by geography, but the U.S. and China are its largest markets and the bulk of sales were of the Model 3 and Y.
