Tesla Meets 4Q Estimate Delivering 17,400 Vehicles
- 9 years ago
Tesla Motors, the pioneering electric car maker, said on Sunday it delivered 17,400 vehicles during the fourth quarter of 2015, in line with its forecasts, and a total of 50,580 for the year.
The launch of the long-awaited Model X was a milestone for the loss-making Silicon Valley automaker during a period of high spending and modest growth because it can now boast a second model in production beyond its Model S sedan, launched in 2012.
CEO Musk estimated in September that 25,000 customers had pre-ordered the $144,000 Model X online or in its stores and that it would take eight months to 12 months for those ordering from now to receive the SUV.
