With 182,174 vehicles, Tesla sets another quarterly sales record
Recently, according to auto sales data, Tesla’s wholesale sales in March were 65,814 units, an increase of 85% year-on-year. In the first quarter of this year, Tesla’s cumulative sales exceeded 180,000 units, reaching a market performance of 182,174 units, which was outstanding in the field of new energy vehicles.
On March 22, Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory was officially opened, and Musk opened the prelude to the era of Tesla's entry into the base camp of gasoline vehicles. For German Chancellor Scholz, who also attended the ceremony, what he hopes to see is that the German auto industry will usher in an era of accelerated transformation with the help of Tesla, so as to continue to maintain its global competition in the automotive field. Advantage.
Before Germany, Tesla showed its unique charm in China. Tesla not only redefines the new concept of intelligent travel with pioneering intelligent pure electric vehicles, but also reshapes the development pattern of the electric vehicle industry with innovations such as digital factories and direct sales models.
Recently, Tesla has been awarded the honor of “Leader” in 2021 corporate standards certified by a national authority, once again demonstrating its role in leading the industry and improving high-quality standards. And this is what Germany urgently needs. After all, automobiles, as Germany's leading industry, have actively promoted the transformation of electrification in recent years, but their progress has been slow due to historical burdens.
In fact, at the beginning of Tesla's founding, both the pure electric research and development direction and the "secret grand plan" of subverting the business model were highly controversial. However, Tesla still pushes new energy vehicles to the stage of the "future" trend of automobiles with decisive innovation and technological breakthroughs, and makes intelligence a standard for "future" cars.
Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory can produce a Model Y body in just 45 seconds, while German car companies generally need 60-70 seconds. Ferdinand Dudenhof, a well-known German auto industry expert, also said: "For Germany, a new era of the auto industry has arrived."
From its establishment in 2003, to the delivery of its first electric sports car Roadster in 2008, to the current global popularity of the S3XY models, Tesla has maintained a positive and positive development trend. It can be said that the world wants to know the secret of Tesla's "success" and "always successful", and Musk's words when he talks about Tesla's opening of more than 300 patented technologies should serve as an explanation. "It is useless to block competitors with patents, it is more important to maintain continuous innovation," he said.
Tesla's hard work in "innovation" can also be seen intuitively from Tesla's R&D costs. According to a report released by StockApps, a British financial transaction analysis company, the average R&D cost of each Tesla car is $2,984, which is more than 2.5 times that of the second-placed Ford, $1,186, and the average R&D cost of the auto industry is $1,000. nearly three times.
R&D costs far higher than those of its peers and innovative thinking beyond the times allow Tesla to maintain its forward momentum and adaptability at all times. After entering China, Tesla not only launched products and services more in line with the needs of Chinese consumers according to Chinese consumers' hobbies and car needs, but also established the Shanghai R&D and Innovation Center to further accelerate the process of localization in China, and also help Tesla overseas. R&D accumulates new innovative exploration experience.
In response to emergencies such as the epidemic, Tesla has also responded to the times and promoted service upgrades with continuous innovation. A few days ago, Tesla launched a self-service car pickup service in many places, shortening the traditional delivery process of about 2 hours into a fast mode of as fast as 20 minutes. What reassures car owners is that the entire car pickup process avoids the need for other car owners and special vehicles. Sla staff are in close contact with risks, creating a "zero-contact" healthy delivery experience. In addition, for car owners in need, Tesla also provides Home Delivery services in some areas of the country, allowing car owners to receive their cars while sitting at home.
Not only that, Tesla also launched air services such as live car lectures and online remote consultations to ensure that consumers can obtain high-quality satisfaction for all ecological needs such as car purchase, after-sales, and charging during the epidemic, creating a worry-free special period. travel experience.
