Earlier this month, Tesla announced another strong quarterly global production and sales results, achieved despite various challenges - including a lockdown in China and ramp-up issues at two new plants (in Texas and in Germany).
Q2 2022 does not bring new records, but the growth year-over-year is noticeable and it was the third-best quarter in the company's history. Interestingly, June 2022 was the top production month ever:
"June 2022 was the highest vehicle production month in Tesla’s history."
In this post, we will take a look at the numbers and charts to visualize the progress and better understand what can be achieved in the near future.
Let's get into details.
