Tesla Meets 4Q Estimate Delivering 17,400 Vehicles
Tesla Motors, the pioneering electric car maker, said on Sunday it delivered 17,400 vehicles during the fourth quarter of 2015, in line with its forecasts, and a total of 50,580 for the year.
The launch of the long-awaited Model X was a milestone for the loss-making Silicon Valley automaker during a period of high spending and modest growth because it can now boast a second model in production beyond its Model S sedan, launched in 2012.
CEO Musk estimated in September that 25,000 customers had pre-ordered the $144,000 Model X online or in its stores and that it would take eight months to 12 months for those ordering from now to receive the SUV.
