Asian Tech Press (July 18) -- U.S. electric car company Tesla Inc. has delivered nearly 3 million electric vehicles over a 10-year period.

Tesla has delivered nearly 3 million EVs over a full 10-year period ending in the second quarter of 2022, since it delivered its first vehicle in the third quarter of 2012.

As of the second quarter of 2022, the automaker has delivered a cumulative total of 2,899,877 electric vehicles. CleanTechnica expected the company to reach a cumulative 3 million vehicle deliveries sometime in late July or August, based on recent trends and Tesla's general guidance.

The company produced 258,580 vehicles and delivered 254,695 units in the second quarter, down from the first quarter of 2022, according to Tesla's report on production and deliveries for the second quarter of 2022, released earlier this month.

In the first half of the year, Tesla delivered 564,743 vehicles, well above the 386,181 units delivered in the first half of 2021. Statistically, June of this year was the month of highest car production in Tesla's history.

As production at Tesla's global mega-factories picks up and supply shortages ease, the company is on track to deliver more than 1 million electric cars in 2022, an amount twice as many as last year.

Tesla will report its earnings for the second quarter of 2022 after the stock market closes on July 20, EST. In addition to announcing its Q2 2022 financial results, the company will also hold a Q2 earnings conference call at approximately 5:30 p.m. that day.
