Tesla recently celebrated the production of the 2 millionth car in Gigafactory 3, and now the American manufacturer has shown why it is considered the largest manufacturer of electric cars in the world. A new phenomenal achievement is the production of the 5 millionth car and the installation of 50,000 Supercharger stations.
The growth of production started three years ago when in just 18 months Tesla exceeded the production of two million vehicles, three million in just 11 months, and four million seven months later. All this was achieved thanks to the large capacities of Tesla’s factories, but also to the great demand. At the beginning of July, the company announced that it had built the first Cybertruck in Giga Texas and that it had received more than 1.9 million orders.
Other plants such as the one in California that produces the Tesla Model 3, Y, S and Model X have an annual production capacity of 650,000 units, while the Berlin plant has a capacity of 375,000 units/year. It should also be noted that the Tesla Model 3 is the best-selling electric car ever.
The large number of electric cars on the road also requires solving the issue of fast charging stations. Tesla is a leader in that field as well. The company recently installed the 50,000th Supercharger in California, which will also be used by electric cars from other brands.
