Tesla lacked 450 cars to reach the milestone of 500 thousand electric vehicles sold in 2020

Tesla has released production and sales data for the fourth quarter of 2020. It turned out that the company was not quite enough to reach the target of 500 thousand electric vehicles shipped in 2020, outlined by the CEO Elon Musk.

Tesla sold 499,550 cars in a year. Thus, the plan was fulfilled by 99.91%. It is noteworthy that the final figures may differ by 0.5% or more, so, according to the updated data, which will be provided at the end of January, the target may be met.

In total, the company sold 442,511 Model 3 / Y trains and 57,039 Model S / X trains.

Production reached 509,737 units, of which 454,932 were for Model 3 / Y, 54,805 for Model S / X.

Elon Musk has repeatedly stated that his company will be able to achieve the goal of delivering 500,000 vehicles. He intended to do this back in 2019. In early 2020, Tesla announced that it would significantly surpass this figure by the end of the year, but the pandemic has led to disruptions to factories in China and California, as well as a decline in sales.

In the fourth quarter, Musk made every possible effort to fulfill the overarching task of producing and selling 500,000 cars. He repeatedly published motivation letters to employees.

There were even publications in the American press about the drop in build quality. Buyers have previously complained about flaws in their Model 3 / Model Y, however, after speeding up the pace of production, the number of claims increased. Basically, the company's customers paid attention to uneven body gaps, poorly closing doors, poor-quality painting, as well as shortcomings in the joining of interior panels.
