Read MoreHide Full Article

Tesla Motors (TSLA - Free Report) reported another quarter of record deliveries, underscoring its strong growth amid the global automotive semiconductor shortage that is roiling car production across the globe.

The company delivered a record 241,300 (232,025 Model 3 and Y, and 9,275 Model S and X) vehicles. Deliveries were up 73% from the year-ago quarter and 20% from the prior quarter. This marked the sixth consecutive quarter-over-quarter gain. The electric carmaker produced 237,823 (228,882 Model 3 and Y, and 8,941 Model S and X) vehicles during the quarter.

Given that demand in China is still recovering and EV competition is coming from all angles, Tesla’s ability to navigate these challenges this quarter has been very impressive. Rising exports to Europe and the introduction of a cheaper Model Y helped boost Tesla's production (read: Top-Ranked ETFs That Are Up At Least 25% So Far This Year).
