They handily beat delivery expectations.

“Tesla deliveries amounted to 308,600 electric cars in the fourth quarter and full-year deliveries amounted to 936,172 vehicles.”

“According to a consensus compiled by FactSet, Wall Street analysts had anticipated Tesla deliveries of 267,000 in the fourth quarter and 897,000 for all of 2021.”

Almost hit 1 million vehicles/year. Should easily hit 2 million/year with Austin and Berlin coming online next quarter (Austin is already validating the manufacturing lines). Go Tesla Go.

Also the 300k cars produced in the last quarter means, that with the current factories they are already operating at 1.2 million cars/year capacity. A very strong position.

Tesla's investor relations department leaks these sandbagged estimates to the press at the end of every quarter so that they can beat them. It's an old game.

That's a ridiculous assessment.

do you have any way to back your statement? otherwise it’s just dust in the wind
