It marks an increase in production from the same period last year when 237,823 cars were produced. Up from the previous quarter, when EV makers built 258,580 vehicles. The Tesla Model S and Model X are priced at over $100,000. China-made Tesla sales plummeted 64% from the previous month in July due to an ambitious upgrade of the company’s Shanghai factory.

In a report, Tesla said it was becoming “increasingly difficult” to secure vehicle capacity at a reasonable cost towards the end of the quarter. The company will announce third quarter results on October 19.
