The world's largest electric car manufacturer, Tesla, published its quarterly figures on cars delivered last Saturday. However, these are not very encouraging.

The picture of a recession is also reflected at Tesla: people's desire to buy is decreasing, interest rates have been increased, less debt can be taken on and therefore fewer cars are being bought.
In the second quarter of the year, 254,695 cars were delivered, more than 50,000 less than in the previous quarter. On July 20, the company will publish the financial reports, which most likely means that Tesla will make less sales than in the previous quarter.
Deliveries are divided as follows:
| Q1 2022 | Q2 2022 |
Model S/X | 14'724 | 16'162 |
Model 3/Y | 295'324 | 238'695 |
Total | 310'048 | 254'695 |
It's probably already obvious how Tesla accounts for this drop in deliveries: Tesla's factory in Shanghai has been shut down, raw material prices are skyrocketing, and fewer people want to buy a car with increased interest rates.
