San Francisco, January 25: Elon Musk-run Tesla has reported $7.9 billion in net income and $25.2 billion in revenue during the fourth quarter of 2023, a 3 per cent growth from the same quarter last year. The electric car company registered a record delivery of 1.8 million EVs in 2023.

Tesla cautioned that the growth of its vehicle sales “may be notably lower” in 2024 as it prepares to launch a new vehicle platform for cheaper EVs. “In 2023, we delivered over 1.2 million Model Ys, making it the best-selling vehicle, of any kind, globally,” the company said in its earnings release. Apple Car Project: Initiated As ‘Project Titan’ in 2014 and Later Renamed ‘T172’, Company Anticipated To Launch Apple Car by 2028; Check Expected Price and Specifications.

Free cash flow remained strong in 2023 at $4.4 billion, even as “we focused on future growth projects with our highest capital expenditures and R&D expenses in company history”. The company is now focused on bringing the next generation platform to market as quickly as it can, with the plan to start production at Gigafactory Texas. “This platform will revolutionise how vehicles are manufactured,” said Tesla.

In 2023, the Tesla Fremont factory produced nearly 560,000 vehicles. At Gigafactory Texas, it began production of the Cybertruck and delivered the first units to customers. “We expect the ramp of Cybertruck to be longer than other models given its manufacturing complexity,” said the company. Tata Tigor CNG Likely To Launch Soon in India; Check Prices of All Variants, Features and Specifications Ahead of Launch.
