• Tesla has had a positive run in recent months, being the second most valuable automaker in the world at USD 116.95 billion.
• It currently plans on adding the Roadster to its lineup after the recent introduction of the Model Y SUV.
• It also plans on setting up another Gigafactory in the US for the production of the upcoming Cybertruck and boosting production of the Model Y.

Tesla’s successful run has continued into 2020 as CEO Elon Musk has revealed on Twitter that the electric carmaker has produced its one millionth car in the form of the Model Y SUV. The Model Y made its debut back in March 2019 and Tesla commenced production of the SUV in January this year. It is the entry point to the EV maker’s SUV lineup. And yet, we still await the day the electric carmaker enters the Indian market.

The carmaker has been quite busy behind the scenes, with a variety of developments, announcements and milestones achieved. It started off with Tesla announcing that its next factory, codenamed Gigafactory 4, will be built in Berlin, Germany. And with that investment, it has passed Daimler to become the second most valuable automaker in the world at USD 116.95 billion, surpassing Daimler’s USD 62.78 billion.

Tesla also unveiled the radical Cybertruck EV pickup on November 22, 2019 via a live event in Los Angeles. Highlights include a design that looks straight out of a Cyberpunk virtual world and a bulletproof body that can resist upto 9mm shells. It also boasts serious off-road and pickup capabilities with a 35-degree approach angle, 28-degree departure angle, and towing capacity of  up to 14,000 pounds (6,350kg). It is also very efficient with an all-electric range of upto 500 miles (804km). 

The carmaker will now turn its attention to introducing the new Roadster to its international lineup that comprises the Model 3 and Model S sedans, the Model X SUV and the recent Model Y. The carmaker recently began production at its first Gigafactory in China, Tesla’s first installation outside of the US. Musk has also hinted at plans to set up another Gigafactory in the US for manufacturing the 2021 bound Cybertruck and boost production of the Model Y.
