There’s almost a 151 percent increase in their net income when compared to that of the last year. The company has managed to reach $1.1billion in net income for the quarter. This makes their revenue go up by 98 percent.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has recently revealed more details on opening its charging stations to other EV brands. He also pointed out that there may be few constraints for non-Tesla owners even though the company thinks of it as a simple affair. Musk added that people began to think that electric vehicles are the future. He also commented on the shortage of microchips affecting vehicle production as “it does seem like it’s getting better, but it’s hard to predict”.
