Tesla: Tesla's car production in Q1 2022 was 305,400 and 310,000 were delivered

Tesla has just announced its car production and delivery numbers for the first quarter of 2022. Tesla delivered more than 310,000 vehicles in the first quarter, with a production of 305,400 vehicles in the first quarter. In the same period last year, Tesla produced 180,338 vehicles and delivered 184,800 vehicles. Analysts expect Tesla to deliver 317,000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2022.

Tesla, along with the rest of the auto industry, has also been hit by widespread parts shortages and inflation. Key components such as semiconductors remain in short supply, and in the United States, Tesla delivery orders are backlogged for months.

Tesla recently opened a new factory in Brandenburg, Germany, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 22. Tesla also plans to hold a grand opening and "cyber rodeo" event on April 7 at another new vehicle assembly plant it is building.

Tesla officially moved its headquarters to Austin on Dec. 1 but still operates its first electric vehicle factory in Fremont, California.

Globally, Tesla's operations in the quarter ended March 31 were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Shanghai factory temporarily shut down. In the fourth quarter of 2021, Tesla delivered 308,600 electric vehicles, a record for the company.

Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk warned in mid-March that Tesla's business faced inflationary pressures and raised prices for its cars in the United States and China.
