Tesla just reported first-quarter vehicle production and delivery numbers for 2021. In total, it delivered 184,800 vehicles and produced 180,338 cars.

Analysts were expecting Tesla to deliver around 168,000 vehicles during this period, according to estimates compiled by FactSet as of April 1. Estimates ranged from 145,000 to 188,000 deliveries.

The Q1 deliveries beat Tesla’s previous record of 180,570 deliveries in Q4 2020.

All of the electric vehicles it produced were Model 3 sedans and Model Y crossover SUVs during the quarter, and it didn’t produce any of its more expensive Model S sedans and Model X SUVs.

It delivered 2,020 Model S and Model X vehicles from inventory, however representing just 1% of its total deliveries. In a statement, Tesla wrote that with “new equipment installed and tested in Q1” the company is now “in the early stages of ramping production” for updated versions of the S and X.

Really impressive considering that they didn't have X or S to pump things up this quarter. I have a friend eagerly waiting for his Model S Plaid. Hopefully that starts production soon. I want a ride in that! He lives in a far different tax bracket than I do.

I have a friend waiting for his Long Range Model S (he switched from a Plaid because he didn't want to wait that long). I get the 2nd ride in it. His dog gets the first one. He was promised March delivery...but obviously that came and went.

Tesla might have a strong Q2 once they get Model S back up to speed.
And then Q3 will see vehicles start to come out of GigaTexas and push up deliveries even more in Q3.
