If you still think that Tesla is just a small time maker of toys for millionaires who want to look green, think again. The California-based maker of pure electric cars anounced that it has met its target of producing 400 Model S sedans per week, which is more than Mercedes-Benz or BMW sells of their flagship S Class and 7 Series cars respectively in the United States.
This stepped-up production isn’t going to end up in some parking lot looking for buyers. Tesla says that the company currently has a backlog of over 10,000 orders that it’s trying to fill. Those sales numbers are especially impressive when you consider that unlike its German competition, the Tesla is a pure electric car that will leave you stranded if you run those batteries flat.
