Results

Tesla increased its overall electric car production in Q4 by about 70% year-over-year to 305,840, which is the best result ever. The growth is related to the high production of the Model 3/Model Y (up 79% to 292,731), as the refreshed Model S/Model X duo is in the ramp-up phase (down 19% to 13,109).

The preliminary sales result (customer deliveries) is similar. The company sold a total of 308,600 electric cars (up 71% year-over-year). Mostly thanks to the Model 3/Model Y duo, which expanded by 84% to 296,850. The refreshed Model S/Model X duo is finally in at five digits per quarter (11,750), but it's still lower than a year ago (down 38%).
