WASHINGTON: Tesla said Sunday it delivered nearly 1 million vehicles in 2021, almost twice as many as in the previous year, results that were better than expected despite global supply challenges.
Tesla had announced last January that it was aiming to increase deliveries by 50 per cent per year over several years, so Sunday's results far exceeded that goal. Its chief Elon Musk previously said he was able to get around much of the semiconductor shortage by using new chip designs and rewriting software.
This announcement brought the automaker into the very select club of companies worth more than US$1 trillion on the stock market.
