Tesla breaks records in various areas and can now add one to them. It is the first car manufacturer ever to have built 1 million electric cars.
Tesla has reached a historic milestone. Namely, it has built its millionth car in home country USA. It is a red Model Y, one of the many first Models Y that will be delivered by the American manufacturer this month. It is not only a milestone for Tesla itself, but also for EVs in general. Never before has one manufacturer built so many electrically powered cars.
It all started for Tesla about 12 years ago with the first model; the Roadster. That did not yet account for the large numbers, but that changed with Model S. revealed eleven years ago. With that car, Tesla managed to establish itself worldwide as an interesting new brand. Tesla’s first SUV, the Model X, increased the success, but especially the more affordable Model 3 added a lot in terms of numbers.
Tesla is now one of the most valuable car builders in the world and is expanding its production capacity on a large scale. The Model Y, which is being built in both China and the US, is the next achievement. The first copies are now being delivered in the US, but this red Model Y will probably have a special place within the company as a reminder of this milestone.
