Business|Tesla delivered 185,000 cars in the first quarter, twice as many as a year ago.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/02/business/tesla-auto-sales.htmlCredit…
Tingshu Wang/ReutersTesla said on Friday that it more than doubled the number of cars it delivered in the first quarter, bouncing back after the pandemic slowed sales in the same period a year ago.
The company said in a statement that it was "in the early stages of ramping production" of the new models, which generate much more profit than the Model 3 and Model Y.The first-quarter sales numbers could lift Tesla shares, which have lost more than a quarter of their value since January when they hit a high of about $900.
Tesla does not break out its sales by region and a lot of its recent growth has been in China, where electric cars make up a much larger share of the auto market than in the United States.
Tesla has halted production of the Model S and Model X while preparing its plant in Fremont, Calif., to build updated versions of the cars.
