In fact, considering all other manufacturers are loosing production & sales numbers at the same time Tesla is rapidly growing. I would expect BMW to fall far sooner than expected.
Thus, if the 2 new Gigafactories (Berlin and Austin) reach a total of 1.5mn, they are almost to BMW, but when they reach 2.5mn, they'll be behind Honda.
And this assumes they don't reduce any of the sales of gas-car makers.
In the meantime, Tesla has released huge numbers for Q4, 2021, handedly beating Wall Street expectations. Here are the details:
In the fourth quarter, Tesla achieved production of more than 305,000 vehicles and deliveries of over 308,000 vehicles. In 2021, Tesla delivered over 936,000 vehicles.
Tesla thanks all of their customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and supporters who helped them achieve a great year.
