Tesla announced via its social media page that it has achieved a production milestone of five million electric vehicles. This achievement comes about 20 years after the company was incorporated in 2003, a journey that commenced with the production and sale of its inaugural car, the Roadster, in 2008. The pace of Tesla’s production has increased over the years. The first million cars rolled off the assembly line in March 2020.
