Even though the stock markets point to the rise and popularity of Tesla in the automotive market, the automaker needs its electric vehicles on the streets to change the transportation landscape. As 2021 ended, Tesla came a bit close to achieving this feat as it shipped close to million vehicles in the year, The Verge reported.
By no means is this a small achievement, especially in a year when carmakers struggled to get their hands on chips after the global crisis caused by the pandemic. This is also a big success for tesla as the company has almost doubled its production in one year. In 2020, the Texas-based company delivered just under 500,000 vehicles, while in 2021, the number exceeded 930,000, the reported edge.
Tesla's internal objectives have been to increase its number of deliveries by 50% annually. Thus, even though it has missed a million deliveries, the 'close to a million' is nevertheless a big step.
Looking at the absolute numbers from the Tesla website, one can see that Model 3 production is the juggernaut in Tesla's factories with a whopping 906,032 cars produced in 2021 while 24,390 Model S were produced in the same time. Q4 was very productive for the company which saw 305,840 cars produced with 292,731 models 3 and 13,109 models sharing loot.
A highly anticipated addition to this range would be the cyber truck. However, as production is postponed to 2022, we will not be able to see his figures until next year. We'll know more after Elon Musk joins the next earnings call and gives us a legit update on the 'End of the World' upgrade that his insane technology bandwagon is getting.
When it comes to musk, 2021 was a bitter year for him too. While Tesla stocks soared along with his personal worth, his other company SpaceX is at the risk of bankruptcy by his own admission. Although he sent internal memos to the spacex team, Musk publicly congratulated the Tesla team on their successful production and global deliveries.
Excellent work of the tesla team all over the world! https://t.co/lsDTCJtMrp

Undoubtedly, the team has their task cut out for 2022 with the Cybertruck and Semi both under wraps since their unveiling. With companies like Rivian getting into the fray and conventional car manufacturers focusing on Evs, the space will become really competitive.
The year 2022 should be electrifying.'
