Listen, the thing is:
We are in the middle of a revolutionary “explosion” in motoring since its beginning. Sales of electric vehicles are expected to overwhelm petrol and diesel cars very soon.
Well, Tesla stats say that it is closer to that finish line than any other carmaker. Its eccentric CEO, Elon Musk, claims they won’t stop until all vehicles on the road are electric.
And Tesla won’t. But, the question is when?
Let’s see if we can find the answer:
First, let's learn some basic information about Tesla:

In August 2022, the CEO of Tesla tweeted this from his personal account. He used the opportunity to congratulate Giga Shanghai on their millionth car, as well.
Tesla production numbers by year were rapidly increasing even during the pandemic period.

If you were wondering why three of Tesla cars have a letter and one a number in their names, we’ll tell you. The original innovative naming was to spell out “SEXY”.
However, the rival manufacturer Ford reserved the name first and threatened with a lawsuit. Musk returned with a more inginuous solution by naming the car Model 3. It was Tesla’s third car released and the spelling “S3XY” is similar with the original.
As a matter of fact, it’s s3xier!

In September 2021 Tesla started taking orders for Model Y across Europe.
According to Tesla car stats, the total number of 87,152 registered Tesla vehicles is increasing day by day. And, lately, Norwegians seem to prefer the Model Y.
Moreover, the guy who owns the biggest number of Teslas is a Norwegian. He has seven Tesla vehicles including six Roadsters and one Model S.

The sixth company in U.S. history to pass the trillion-threshold of market capitalization is Tesla. That was in October 2021.
As of August 2022, its market cap is $929.59 billion and that’s around 12% lower than its record of $1.061 trillion.
However, it still puts the company higher than any other in the automotive industry.
The EV company is a leader that achieved incredible growth over the last years. See for yourself:
(Source: Statista)
The total sales of Tesla in 2021 were 936,222 vehicles and in the first three-quarters of the 2021 fiscal year sales increased by 16% over the whole 2020 fiscal year.
The company is expected to repeat this trend even though Q2 deliveries in 2022 decreased compared to sales in Q1.
(Source: Statista)
The first quarter of 2022 was very successful for Tesla. It set a new record with more than 310,000 vehicles.
However, deliveries in the second quarter of 2022 decreased by 18%.
Can you imagine the revenue?
Logically, given its astounding revenue figures, Tesla is one of the leading companies worldwide.
(Source: Macrotrends)
The company had a net income of over $1 billion for the first time in Q2 of 2021. Tesla improved its operating margin from 11% in the first quarter of 2021 to a stellar 19.2% in Q1 of 2022.
The Q2 revenue and profitability decreased by almost 5%, however, but it is still bigger than the same period a year ago.

Tesla sales statistics show that revenue comes from four segments, namely automotive sales and leasing, services, and the energy sector.
For the fiscal year of 2021, total revenue was more than ten times bigger compared to the sales in 2015 (only $4 billion). The automotive sales accounted for over $44 billion of it.

To stay the leader in the EV industry, Tesla is investing a lot of money. According to the StocksApps report the company spends much more on R&D per car than other carmakers. It’s almost three times higher than the average of $1,000 per car. Furthermore, Tesla’s R&D budget is bigger than Ford, Toyota and GM combined.
At the same time, it doesn’t invest in marketing per car and relies on word-of-the-mouth testimonials about their brand.

Tesla’s selling, general and administrative costs reached almost $4.5 in 2021.
Previously, they were the highest in 2018 and 2020 with over $2.8 billion and $3 million, respectively.

The Model 3 became the best-selling electric vehicle worldwide in 2020. It was Tesla’s successful attempt to enter the mainstream automotive market. Consequently, the rise in Tesla’s market value was due to the release of this car.
Next year this model reached sales of roughly 501,000. In 2022, Model 3 sales doubled and went over one million.

All Tesla vehicles are designed to provide maximum safety for everyone. The Model X received a 5-star safety rating in every category from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2020.

The pickup truck is one of the most popular body styles in America. With impressive Tesla truck stats, the Cybertruck is a potentially strong seller for the company. It will be available in tri motors.
The three-motor truck will reportedly reach 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds with a 130 mph top speed. In terms of pulling capacity, the maximum rating will be whooping 14,000 pounds for the three-motor truck.

Tesla semi stats reveal that even when the truck is fully loaded it can reach 60 mph in 20 seconds. It has four independent motors and an enhanced autopilot.
The biggest advantage is the lowest cost of ownership because the Tesla Semi provides over $200,000 in fuel savings. This vehicle will cost $180,000 for the maximum range of 500 miles. The fuel savings guarantee a two-year payback period.
You can reserve a semi on their page by paying $5,000 upfront and $15,000 within ten days. The vehicle is expected to be produced in 2023.

This cool SUV Tesla Model X is “able” to dance to Christmas music. It does a full-on routine set to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra song “Wizards in Winter”.
The engineers created a light show with music. The pulsing of the lights with the help of falcon doors, windows, and mirrors opening and closing give the impression of a car dancing.

According to Tesla plaid stats, the car’s previous ¼ mile record was 8.943. A red Model S Plaid broke that record and set a new one with 8.834 at 160 mph.
Tesla Motors Club acknowledged the results and showed the best result known to date.

This one and Model 3 can return up to 360 miles on a single charge. Model Y can recharge to 80% in 32 minutes.
The first car that Tesla produced was the Tesla Roadster 2008. It’s come a long way since then.
(Source: Sportscarmarket)
In a way, the first Tesla Roadster was the car that started the electric revolution by introducing Li-ion batteries in their vehicles. It was a sports car based on the Lotus Elise chassis that was produced from 2008 to 2012.
It was sold for close to $110,000 and only 2,500 Roadsters were delivered and sold.
(Source: Electrek)
For some time some people in the automotive industry believe that the original Roadster can be considered a rarity. Because of this fact, it can pass as a collector’s car.
Someone in Switzerland has the very last Tesla Roadster VIN 2500 ever built and wants to sell it for 1,390,000 CHF ($1.5 million).
(Source: Caranddriver)
The new Roadster model was originally scheduled to be ready in 2021 but it was delayed.
According to Tesla Roadster stats, this sportscar of the future will have a higher level of performance than its predecessor, the original Tesla Roadster from 2008.

The Founders series would be produced first with only 1,000 cars. Other than the fact that you can have your limited-edition Roadster before others, Tesla doesn’t specify why you need to pay more.
In December 2021, pre-orders were closed for the Founders series with buyers paying $5,000 instantly and $45,000 in the next 10 days.
However, if you are a fan of the previous Roadster model, you can expect improved performance and a longer driving range with additional two back seats.
What other interesting things do you need to know about Tesla?
Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered:

Among the most interesting Tesla facts is the intention to build a humanoid robot called the Tesla Bot. It would run on the same AI used by their fleet of autonomous vehicles.
According to Musk, these robots will have a broader application than cars. They would have the height and weight of a human adult that can do basic, boring, and dangerous tasks for us. They would go shopping, carry heavy objects and even mow our lawns!

Currently, only models 3 and Y owners can view the charging history and cost on their smartphones. Tesla has introduced a new section called “Charge Stats” in the latest version of their app.
This new feature will give owners some insight into potential fuel savings, and charging costs per month.

Tesla sales by country reveal that the U.S. market brought the largest portion of the total revenue in 2021. It generated around $24 billion which is just over 45% of the total.

There are over 36,000 global Tesla Superchargers - the largest network in the world. Tesla statistics indicate that the U.S. has the biggest number worldwide with around 7,000 Superchargers stalls at over 1,400 stations.
The automaker is deploying new stations with a 35% growth rate. It had 23,277 Superchargers at 2,564 stations in 2020 and 31,498 at 3,476 stations in 2021. At the end of Q2 of 2022, Tesla deployed additional 5,000 stalls globally.
There are more than 1,200 stations with around 8,300 stalls in China.
Moreover, the company is planning to open up the network to non-Tesla EVs thus increasing its revenue.

The factory is situated just outside Shanghai and allows access to the Chinese market. According to Tesla, the Chinese plant will be able to produce more than 750,000 vehicles per year.
The carmaker set a record in June 2022 when it made 78,906 vehicles, 135% higher than the cars it produced in June, last year. Only a fraction of those cars, just under 1,000 were delivered abroad which means there is an increase in the Chinese market.
When Tesla launches a new product, half of the people think Elon Musk is mad and half go and preorder a vehicle.
We’re all wondering what’s next - a Tesla spaceship?
Who knows! All I can say is, judging by those stats, this company is really just getting started.
Tesla statistics reveal that around 84,000 vehicles were produced in 2016, reaching just over 100,000 cars in 2017.
In 2018 production increased by over 50% and reached over 360,000 cars in 2019.
Tesla produced over 930,400 vehicles in 2021. The total number for the first two quarters of 2022 is just under 3,000,000.
It started with just below 76,000 vehicles in 2016 and rose to around 936,000 units in 2021. This year Tesla delivered 564,750 cars in the first two quarters. It is expected to surpass its record of almost a million sales in 2021.
Tesla stats for vehicle sales by quarter reveal that there are over 2,900,000 Teslas on the road since the beginning. This number includes the most recent figures for Q2 of 2022 - 254,700 deliveries.
