Tesla delivered a record 241,300 electric cars in the third quarter, surpassing Wall Street estimates after CEO Elon Musk called on employees to “make efforts” to meet production targets, Reuters reports.
Analysts anticipated that the electric car maker would sell 229,142 vehicles, according to Refinitiv.
Tesla has withstood the chip crisis better than other automakers, with its vehicle deliveries up 20 percent in July-September from a previous record in the second quarter, the sixth consecutive quarterly increase.
In China, rising exports to Europe and the introduction of the cheaper Model Y car have helped boost Tesla production, analysts say.
Tesla also announced that it has delivered 232,025 Model 3 compact cars and Model Y SUVs and 9,275 Model S and Model X cars.
