Electric vehicle giant Tesla proudly announced that it has successfully produced its four millionth electric car since its inception. Incredibly, the electric automaker has no plans to stop there as its production rate grows exponentially.
Tesla’s global production chief Tom Zhu made the announcement during Investor Day, stating that the breakthrough was achieved early morning at Gigafactory Texas.
“I’m happy to share, earlier this morning, we hit the four million mark for total Teslas ever built.”

The day after, Tesla shared the good news on its official Twitter account along with a video showing delighted staff members who appear to be extremely pleased with the accomplishment:
Tesla’s production milestones
| Million Milestones | Period |
| 1st Million | 12 years |
| 2nd Million | 18 months |
| 3rd Million | 11 months |
| 4th Million | 7 months |
Tesla took 12 years to achieve its first million electric cars in early 2020. Remarkably, the Musk-led automaker was able to cut that period to just one and a half years as it hit the milestone of two million units produced.
After 11 months, Tesla reported that it had achieved its three million mark. Now, the EV giant once again astounded us with the 4,000,000 breakthroughs in just seven months after the last record.
“It took 12 years to build the first million vehicles, and about 18 months to build the second million. The third million took us 11 months, and in less than seven months, we’ve built four million cars.”

As mentioned, the jubilee EV was built at the Giga Texas in Austin. Tesla can now produce nearly two million EVs annually owing to its increased capacity at the plants in Texas and Berlin.
The increased production capacity would certainly aid Tesla’s 20 million EV production target annually. It would be exciting to see how Elon Musk would lead the automaker to achieve that goal.
