Tesla delivered around 63,000 fewer cars than expected last quarter, but still outpaced Chinese rival BYD
Tesla reclaimed its position as the world's best-selling electric car manufacturer last quarter, overtaking Chinese rival BYD despite deliveries falling well short of expectations. From 1 January to 31 March, the American firm said it produced around 433,000 vehicles and delivered 386,810 - down nearly 40,000 on the same period last year, and some 63,000 units short of what had been expected.
Nonetheless, the final tally is enough for Tesla to nudge back past BYD in the global EV sales charts. The Chinese manufacturer overtook Tesla in the final quarter of 2023, delivering 526,409 EVs worldwide, compared to the Tesla's 484,507, stripping the Texas firm of its EV sales crown for the first time in years.
