Tesla may be the first thing that comes to your mind when it comes to electric cars. The reason for this is Tesla’s cars, whose name we now memorize, and Elon Musk himself. The company, which is a pioneer in the spread of electric cars, did not spend the year 2021 empty despite the chip crisis. Adding the full autopilot feature to its vehicles, Tesla announced the total number of cars it sold in 2021.
Tesla almost doubled the number of sales
With the closing of the fourth quarter of 2021, the number of vehicles sold throughout the year was shaped. With the announcement of the fourth quarter data, it is seen that Tesla managed to sell much more vehicles than in 2020. Although automotive manufacturers have come to the point of closing their factories due to the chip crisis, we can say that the company has done well. Considering the fourth quarter alone, we see that 308,400 vehicles were sold. This number is 71 percent higher than in the same quarter of 2020.
Tesla sales count
When we look at the overall year, we see that 936,000 vehicles were sold. This number is 87 percent more than the total sales in 2020. In other words, it is possible to say that sales have increased almost twice compared to 2020. The chip crisis isn’t being handled very well, and it’s admirable to have this success while COVID-19 is mutating.
In October, Tesla’s company market value exceeded $1 trillion, reaching a major threshold. Automotive companies have never been able to reach this threshold before. Moreover, even if you add the market value of manufacturers such as Ford, Volkswagen and Toyota, the result does not reach the market value of Tesla.
Electric cars are becoming more common
Although Tesla is a pioneer in the spread of electric cars, Tesla is not solely responsible for their popularity today. We’ve recently seen manufacturers like BMW announce that they will focus exclusively on electric cars in the future. The fact that electric batteries are both environmentally friendly and incentives with tax cuts in Europe is attractive to keep up with the future.
