Tesla provided updates on the growth of its Supercharger network, service fleet, and stores in its shareholder letter, showcasing global numbers. While some may not catch these updates, the overall growth in these areas matches well with the overall Tesla sales split. The focus is on the growth in Tesla locations, service fleet, and Supercharger stations and connectors. Vehicle production and deliveries were down in the first quarter, with the Model 3 and Model Y dominating Tesla’s vehicle business.
In the first quarter, production of the Model 3 and Model Y combined decreased by 2%, while other models saw an 8% increase. Deliveries of the Model 3 and Model Y were down 10%, while the Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck saw a 59% increase in deliveries. Overall, deliveries were down 9%. Tesla locations increased by 26%, the service fleet by 12%, and Supercharger stations and connectors by 26% and 27% respectively from Q1 2023 to Q1 2024. The growth in Supercharger stations and service fleet is significant.
The percentage-wise growth of Tesla’s vehicle fleet did not match the growth of Superchargers, service vehicles, and Tesla locations. This is a positive sign for those concerned with ongoing availability of Superchargers and service. The question arises regarding what will happen in the current quarter (Q2) as Tesla has made significant cost cuts. Will the growth in Superchargers, service fleet, and locations be impacted? Will they continue to grow as before or come to a halt? The future remains uncertain.
Overall, the growth in Tesla Supercharger stations, connectors, service fleet, and locations from Q1 2023 to Q1 2024 shows promising expansion. The performance of the Model 3 and Model Y in vehicle production and deliveries indicates a need for further monitoring. Tesla’s ability to keep up with growing demand for Superchargers and service will be a key factor moving forward, especially with the company’s focus on cost-cutting measures during this quarter. The ongoing development and expansion of these key areas will play a crucial role in ensuring the continued success of Tesla in the electric vehicle market.
