In the corresponding quarter of 2022, Tesla had delivered 254,695 vehicles and produced 258,580.
The new data boosts Tesla's total vehicle production to nearly 900,000 for the first half of the year, surpassing expectations from Wall Street. This surge in production follows Tesla's decision to slash prices on its vehicles earlier this year, including a significant $5,000 cut for its high-end Model S and Model X vehicles in April.
The initial price reductions in January were aimed at qualifying some Tesla models for the new $7,500 EV tax credits introduced under the Inflation Reduction Act, which has strict pricing requirements. As per the information on Tesla's website, the Model 3 and Model Y could qualify for this tax credit.
Tesla also announced that it will disclose its full Q2 earnings on July 19.
