At the company’s 2020 annual shareholder meeting and Battery Day presentation, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said vehicle deliveries are expected to increase by 30 to 40 percent over the previous year. Reported deliveries In 367,500 vehicles. This represents a delivery of 477,750 to 514,500 cars, a range that includes the 500,000 cars that the company previously said would be delivered this year.

Musk said that Tesla owners are trying to market their word to Tesla owners:

“We had 50% growth in 2019. I think we’ve done very well in 2020, maybe 30 to 40% growth, maybe in the midst of some very difficult conditions. I mean a lot – you know, like a bunch of pandemic and wildfires. Thanks to the team’s hard work and many innovative approaches to overcoming problems, we can still see significant growth in one of the most difficult… I say Tesla’s the most difficult year of its existence.

Musk also mocked upcoming updates to the company’s automated driving systems, which were marketed for $ 8,000 as a full self-driving option.

Due to the Kovid-19 health ordinance limiting the size of individual gatherings, the Tesla Annual Meeting was postponed from July 2020 to September 22nd. The company previously held shareholder meetings at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, but moved to Fremont, where the U.S. Auto Assembly plant is headquartered. At the meeting, shareholders parked and sat in their cars, which Musk described as a “drive-in.”

The shareholder meeting coincided with the presentation of “Battery Day”, where Tesla confirmed that it was building its own battery cells at a facility in Fremont.

Drew Bagline, Tesla’s senior vice president of powertrain and energy engineering, described the new cells as “the big table cell”. The cells are larger than those purchased by Tesla from Panasonic and other suppliers, and offer “thermal benefits”, making them ideal for use in electric vehicles, which need to be charged quickly and consistently over a long period of time.

According to Tesla, the pilot plant aims to produce 10 gigawatt-hour battery cells a year. Musk commented that any cells produced in Fremont would be supplemented with 100 gigawatt-hour cells purchased from suppliers. The company also said it has acquired the rights to the batteries of the Nevada lithium clay deposit.
