Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) delivered 201,250 vehicles to the market last quarter, CNBC reported. Analysts surveyed by FactSet on average expected the electric car maker to deliver about 207,000 vehicles during this period, although estimates ranged from 195,000 to 231,000.
Nevertheless, the actual result still surpassed the previous record set in the first quarter, when Tesla delivered 184,800 and produced 180,338 vehicles.
Tesla produced a total of 206,421 vehicles during the quarter, including 204,081 Model 3 and Y vehicles, which are more affordable mid-range vehicles. According to the company, 2,340 Model S and X vehicles were produced.
Tesla does not categorize shipments by region or model, and it does not report production in China or the United States. The company currently manufactures Model 3 and Y vehicles at its Shanghai plant and its US plant in Fremont, California.
In the second quarter, Tesla, like other automakers, experienced a shortage of parts and semiconductors, and also suffered from rising prices. CEO Elon Musk said on May 31 on Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) that Tesla had made some design decisions, in part to cope with rising costs, and said that Tesla's price increases were “due to significant price pressure in the supply chain in the scale of the entire industry. " The rise in prices for metals was especially affected.
The company has also begun shipping its expensive 2021 S Plaid electric sedans, a three-engined version of its flagship sedan, which is billed as the fastest production car ever built.
Musk said the company will soon be producing several hundred vehicles of this model a week, but will cut production of the Model S.
