Tesla delivered a record 936, 172 vehicles in 2021, despite the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and semi-conductor chip shortage. In October of 2021, Tesla surpassed $1 trillion in market value, making it one of the most valuable companies globally and number one automobile company (in terms of market value) by some distance.

The American carmaker did even better in 2022, with a total of 1,313,581 cars built and delivered, most of that thanks to the Model 3 stabilizing at just over $40,000 (after rebates) for a rear wheel drive base model throughout that year. 2023 proved to be even more productive, with a little over 1.8 million EV's delivered, an increase of 38% year over year.

Much of that can be attributed to the Model 3 stabilizing in price nearer to $35,000 (after rebates) halfway through 2023, and the Model S dropping almost $10,000 at the base spec to just over $71,000, down from its 2023 price of $88,4900.

Let's not forget that Tesla also makes the immensely popular Model Y SUV, which has also had a significant dive in price for the RWD base model to $31,890, nearly $15,000 less than its 2022 price after rebates. Both the Model 3 and Model Y have two optional upgrades, the aforementioned Performance version, and the Long Range. Ranges of over 300 miles are considered in the current EV market as very good, and even the Model Y base trim will just about hit, depending on how you drive the car. The Model 3 Long Range has a stellar 505 mile estimated range.

With the Cybertruck running into production difficulties and not shipping regularly in 2024, the only truly performance oriented Teslas are the Model S, in the dual-motor base model or tri-motor Plaid edition, and the Model X super-SUV, with a dual-motor base edition and tri-motor Plaid edition. Both cars, even in their base specs, will do 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds, with the Model S Plaid doing it in just under 2 seconds and the Model X Plaid making the same sprint at 2.5 seconds. The Model 3 Performance trim has been discontinued as of 2024.

At the time of this writing in 2024, in just the month of January alone, over 53,800 vehicles were produced and delivered to customers. Not counting in holidays and just counting business days, that's a production rate of just under 2,340 EVs per day.
