Despite lackluster sales in China, not to mention the delayed rollout of
the highly anticipated Model X, Tesla is as strong as ever.
Tesla
this past Friday announced that they delivered a whopping 10,030 cars
during the first quarter of 2015. Note that the figure pertains to cars
that actually ended up in consumer hands. Which is to say, the company’s
overall sales figures were likely a tad higher.
The important
takeaway, though, is that the 10,030 figure represents a new quarterly
record for Tesla. Further underscoring the increasing popularity of the
electric car maker is that Tesla during Q1 of 2015 delivered 55% more
vehicles than in Q1 of 2014.
And speaking of Tesla, the Elon Musk
led company apparently has an intriguing trick up its sleeve. Just a
few days ago, Musk said that the company will unveil a new product at
the end of April, adding that the new product is most definitely not a
car.
As for what it is, we recently detailed how Tesla plans to
release a breakthrough home battery “that can harness solar energy,
power the house, and even send energy back to the grid.”
Tesla
certainly likes to keep busy, which is just one of the many reasons why
the company has garnered such a passionate and devoted following. Most
recently, the company took the wraps off of a new “range assurance”
application that will alert users when they drive out of charging range.
On
a more lighthearted note, if any Tesla owners aren’t yet familiar with
this amazing James Bond easter egg in the Model S, it’s worth checking
out.
