Tesla Boosts EV Deliveries By 70 Percent: Model 3 Orders To Be Cleared Out On Schedule?

With the goal of fulfilling its commitment to its patrons, Tesla remarkably heightened up its electric vehicles (EVs) delivery rate by 70 percent. However, what still remains a question is if the company can deliver the Tesla Model 3 to the market on time.

The car manufacturer did not have the best spring thanks to sub-par deliveries. However, it made up for that in style this summer.

Tesla reported that it delivered 24,500 electric vehicles in the third quarter, which is equivalent to a whopping 70 percent more than it did in the second quarter, and over twice the 11,580 it shipped a year prior to that.

The car manufacturer really did not have a swift time clearing a backlog either, as production was up 37 percent (to 25,185 cars) over the second quarter but still made it.

Elon Musk, its CEO, as well as the company still remains silent as to what led and pushed them to the spike. Likewise, the return of the Model S 60 opened the door to buyers who could not make it good for the previous EV line. A more affordable 2-year lease program was also of great assistance.

Going up to the other side,  the spectrum leads the P100D variants of the Model S and Model X gave the spare-no-expense car enthusiasts a reason to take a closer look at the two.

The said lift and raise in the delivery rate hints that Tesla should not have much trouble hitting its target of 50,000 deliveries in the second half of 2016. It is a clear prediction that its fourth quarter deliveries will be as good or better than it managed last year if this increasing rate will be maintained and improved.

However, the big challenge is much anticipated in 2017, as it gets ready for the Model 3. Tesla will have to brace itself and deliver massive numbers of EVs to eager drivers who have supported the Ev since its unveiling.
