The world’s largest electric car manufacturer Tesla missed analysts’ expectations in the third quarter despite a delivery record. According to its own information on Sunday, the US company handed over 343,830 cars to its customers in the reporting period. However, experts had expected an average of 359,162 vehicles. Tesla was slowed down by production interruptions due to corona lockdowns at the Shanghai plant and logistics problems. As production volumes continue to increase, it becomes increasingly difficult to secure vehicle hauling capacity at a reasonable cost during peak logistics weeks, Tesla said. According to internal plans, Tesla plans to significantly increase production of its best-selling Model Y and Model 3 electric vehicles in the fourth quarter and continue this growth by ramping up the Austin and Grünheide plants near Berlin by 2023. According to internal plans, the US company plans to produce almost 495,000 Model Y and Model 3 vehicles in the final quarter of 2022. In the past, however, the Californian group has set goals several times, which it then had to withdraw.
