Tesla has officially announced its total tally for 2023, which stands at 1,808,581 vehicles sold. That’s certainly an impressive number, marking a 37.6% increase over the 1,313,851 units delivered in 2022. However, it falls well short of CEO Elon Musk’s own bullish 50% year-on-year growth target.
Of the total sales figure, 1,739,707 units – or an astounding 96.2% – are from the smaller Model 3 and Y. That leaves just 68,874 units from the “other models,” meaning the Model S, X and a handful of Cybertrucks. Looking at the numbers alone, Tesla’s “more affordable, high-volume” model can’t come soon enough.
The 484,507 units it delivered in Q4 2023 to make up the year’s total was particularly high, more than most industry analysts had expected. This comes after repeated price cuts across the board, arrival of the updated Model 3 Highland, as well as a last-minute rush for delivery before federal tax credit offers ended on December 31 in the US.
Hopefully, we will get to see soon how much Tesla Malaysia‘s sales contributed to the total, and if its strong initial hype can be sustained.

2024 and Beyond
Very bad service from Tesla Malaysia. Extremely bad experience dealing with them. Delivery advisor keep changing. Poor service and everything also cannot confirm. All control by Hong Kong. Terrible experience as a buyer.
Tesla can survive where there’s no byd
Tesla didn’t say it will grow production by 50% every year.
They said they would grow production by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that averaged 50% over a multiyear horizon.
And they did.
