Another Milestone of Electric Vehicle Industry

 



Tesla has made 1 million electric cars, Musk shared an image of the vehicle, a red Model Y.

It's a remarkable milestone. The car making business is notoriously competitive and capital-intensive. Before Tesla, it had been decades since anyone had built a substantial American carmaker.

But Tesla is clearly here to stay. Wall Street now values the company at almost $120 billion—more than GM and Ford put together.

The company has big expansion plans, with a recently launched factory in China and another planned for Germany. If all goes according to plan, Tesla will make its 2 millionth car in just a couple of years—far faster than the decade-plus it took to make the first million.



But Tesla does face some potential headwinds in China. The novel coronavirus has interfered with Tesla's manufacturing operations there. And a weak Chinese economy may limit demand for Tesla's luxury vehicles.
