SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 27 ― Tesla Inc yesterday forecast annual sales would comfortably grow by more than 50 per cent year-over-year in 2022 despite supply chain issues that would limit electric vehicle production.
Musk said that Tesla would not introduce new models this year, but hopefully would launch its Cybertruck, Semi and Roadster next year. “Our own factories have been running below capacity for several quarters as supply chain became the main limiting factor, which is likely to continue through 2022,” Tesla said in a statement.
The automaker also said it increased the number of full self-driving beta vehicles in the United States to nearly 60,000, up from a few thousand at the end of September. Tesla has been testing the improved version of its automated driving software on public roads, but it has said the features do not make the cars autonomous.
