Beijing News (Reporter Lu Yifu) On October 3, Beijing time, the US electric vehicle giant Tesla announced the delivery data for the third quarter of this year. In the quarter, Tesla delivered a total of 97,000 electric vehicles, an increase of 1.9% month-on-month. Although it set a new Tesla delivery record, this figure was lower than the market expectations of 99,000 vehicles.
was affected by this, and Tesla's stock price fell 3.99% after the market. As of October 3, Tesla's stock price fell by 26.94% this year.
delivered a total of 97,000 vehicles in the third quarter, of which 79,600 were delivered by Model 3, an increase of 2.6% from the previous quarter, and the delivery of Model S and X was 17,400, slightly lower than the 17,650 vehicles in the previous quarter.
Tesla said that the company achieved record net orders in the third quarter, and some backlogs of undelivered orders were postponed to the fourth quarter. Similar to the situation in the second quarter, most of the orders for Model 3 in the third quarter came from users who had not placed orders before, so Model 3 still has strong market demand.
Previously, Tesla founder Elon Musk revealed in an internal letter to employees that Tesla is expected to deliver more than 100,000 vehicles in the third quarter, once again breaking the company's quarterly delivery record, but this result was ultimately failed to achieve. Market analysts believe that the delivery volume of Model S and X is relatively sluggish. Although Model 3 delivers large, its price is low, which will affect Tesla's overall gross profit margin level. While releasing delivery data, Tesla also announced that the company has reached an unsecured one-year revolving loan of up to RMB 5 billion with China China Merchants Bank , mainly used to provide funds for Tesla to transport vehicles to China.
This is the second time Tesla has borrowed from a Chinese bank. In order to build the Shanghai Super Factory, Tesla announced in March this year that it would borrow up to RMB 3.5 billion in a syndicated loan with China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank for a period of 12 months.
