Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, announced on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, that the company intends to boost its vehicle production in the US within the next two years. He described this move as "an act of faith in America" and attributed his decision to "the great policies of President Trump and his administration."
Tesla, Inc. remains at the forefront of the electric vehicle (EV) industry with a robust production lineup. By early 2025, Tesla's activities encompass a variety of vehicles and energy storage solutions manufactured at its worldwide facilities.
In Q4 2024, Tesla achieved a record-breaking quarter, producing approximately 459,445 vehicles and delivering 495,570. For the full year 2024, Tesla's total production reached 1,773,443 vehicles, with deliveries totaling 1,789,226.
Key vehicle models currently in production include the Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, Cybertruck, and Tesla Semi, with the upcoming "Redwood" compact crossover slated for mid-2025. Tesla's energy products, including the Powerwall, Megapack, and Solar Roof, also saw considerable growth, with deployments totaling 11 GWh in Q4 2024 and 31.4 GWh for the full year.
Tesla's manufacturing footprint spans multiple Gigafactories, with major hubs in Fremont (California), Shanghai (China), Texas (USA), and Berlin (Germany), alongside additional facilities for battery and component production.
Tesla's Present Production Capacity Chart
Tesla's installed annual vehicle production capacity is based on the latest available data, primarily from Q4 2024 reports and earlier 2023-2024 updates. No significant capacity changes have been confirmed for Q1 2025.
The total global capacity remains stable at over 2.35 million vehicles annually, with potential increases approaching 3 million units as new models and factory expansions progress (e.g., next-generation vehicles in Texas starting mid-2025).
The following chart summarizes Tesla's current production capacity in the United States and globally:
Location | Facility | Annual Production Capacity (Vehicles) | Models Produced |
United States | |||
Fremont, California | Tesla Factory | Up to 650,000 | Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y |
Austin, Texas | Gigafactory Texas | Over 375,000 | Model Y, Cybertruck |
U.S. Total | Up to 1,025,000 | ||
Global (Outside U.S.) | |||
Shanghai, China | Gigafactory Shanghai | Over 950,000 | Model 3, Model Y |
Grünheide, Germany | Gigafactory Berlin | Over 375,000 | Model Y |
Global Total | Over 2,350,000 |
|
Notes:
U.S. Capacity: The Fremont Factory has a capacity of up to 550,000 Model 3/Model Y units and 100,000 Model S/Model X units annually, totaling up to 650,000. Gigafactory Texas exceeds 375,000, with Cybertruck production estimated at over 125,000 and Model Y accounting for the remainder.
Global Capacity: Shanghai is Tesla’s largest plant, producing over 950,000 units, while Berlin supports over 375,000 Model Y units. These figures reflect installed capacity, not actual production, which was 1.77 million in 2024.
Future Expansion: Tesla plans to expand capacity to nearly 3 million units with new models and lines (e.g., Texas next-gen vehicle in mid-2025 and a potential Mexico factory in 2026).
This chart reflects the most current, widely reported estimates as of March 11, 2025, based on Tesla’s official updates and industry analyses. Actual production may vary due to demand, supply chain conditions, or factory upgrades.
