Beat old record
The second quarter figures set the previous record set in the first quarter, when they delivered 185,000 cars.
The company reports that the second quarter was characterized by a shortage of car parts and price increases, which was the case for most car companies. Executive Vice President Elon Musk wrote in a Twitter message in May that Tesla has made some changes related to design to avoid drastic price increases on cars, and that the price increases are due to a large increase in the price of materials.
