Despite CEO Elon Musk noting on a few occasions that Tesla would be wise to put an end to these huge end-of-quarter delivery waves, it seems the company is at it again. After opening 2023 with surprising and significant price cuts, the electric automaker is preparing to deliver every last car it can produce before the month's end.
Tesla has been setting sales records across the globe over the last few months, which is far from common in the first quarter of the year. However, after a rocky 2022 and high prices for a number of reasons, Tesla dialed back its prices, its EVs became newly eligible for the US federal EV tax credit and other local credits, and the cars have seemingly been leaving the factory as quickly as Tesla can produce them.
