With deliveries pushed back, Tesla will start the year slowly as a follow-up to its successful 2023. Of note, the American EV maker delivered 1,808,581 units in 2023, with the Model 3 and Model Y being its best-sellers. These two models amass 1,739,707 deliveries between them, so this delay will affect Tesla’s numbers in the first few months. It doesn’t help that the Model 3 lost its eligibility for a $7,500 EV tax credit under the new Inflation Reduction Act regulations.
Tesla will reinforce its Model 3 lineup with a more potent version wearing the Performance badge. There was a sighting of this trim on US soil about a week ago, albeit it was a right-hand drive unit, suggesting foreign markets like Europe and China would get it first.
