1/ It's easier to track Tesla’s production than its headcount. They have four car factories: Fremont Factory (California) Giga Texas Giga Berlin Giga Shanghai Tesla publishes quarterly global production, and the China Passenger Car Association reports monthly production for Giga Shanghai.
2/ I use DMV VIN data to calculate production at Fremont & Giga Texas. This method was 98.6% accurate on average over the last 12 quarters I subtract the numbers for the three factories from Tesla's global total to calculate Giga Berlin. I've a public spreadsheet where you can see all four numbers
3/ Check out this Google Sheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... I updated it today to add the numbers for Q1 2025. I'll start requesting new DMV VIN data for Q2 in early May and will post those on Patreon, but I will also post my final production and delivery estimates here on Bluesky on June 30th
