Tesla improved sales by 55% compared to the first quarter of 2014
Tesla Motor Inc reported sales data in the first quarter of 2015, Kommersant reports . For three months, the company sold 10,030 electric vehicles - a 55% increase from the same period in 2014 and 500 more cars than the company planned to sell.
In 2015, the head of the company Ilon Mask plans to sell 55 thousand cars, and by 2020 the sales volume should reach 500 thousand a year. Given that sales this year successfully started even with the decline in gasoline prices in the United States, Tesla should be able to exceed last year when the company sold 31,655 cars.
The company warns that the volume of cars sold should not be used as an indicator of quarterly financial results, as they depend on many other factors, including exchange rates and costs.
The cost of electric cars at 25-50% consists of the cost of batteries. Recent studies by scientists from the Stockholm Environment Institute showed that from 2007 to 2014, prices for lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicle manufacturers decreased from $ 1,000 to $ 410 per kilowatt-hour, and for major players - Tesla and Nissan - to $ 300 and will decrease by 8% annually.

By 2018, predict a decline in prices to $ 230 per kilowatt-hour, which can lead to a "potential paradigm shift in transport technologies." Tesla is already planning to release more affordable models than Tesla Model S, the price of which now starts at $ 69,000.
