[Auto Styling News]


In the first quarter, Tesla produced just over 180,000 vehicles and delivered nearly 185,000 vehicles, the company said in an SEC filing.

In the final quarter of 2020, Tesla made a record 180,570 deliveries.

All of the electric vehicles it produced  in this first quarter were Model 3 sedans and Model Y crossover SUVs, and it didn't produce any of its more expensive Model S sedans and Model X SUVs.

It delivered just 2,020 Model S and Model X vehicles from inventory, however representing just 1% of its total deliveries. 

In a statement, Tesla wrote that with "new equipment installed and tested in Q1" the company is now "in the early stages of ramping production" for updated versions of the S and X.

The company says they are encouraged by the strong reception of the Model Y in China and are quickly progressing to full production capacity.  

The new Model S and Model X have also been exceptionally well received, with the new equipment installed and tested in Q1 and we are in the early stages of ramping production.
