Tesla reported it was able to produce a total of 365,923 vehicles and deliver 343,830 vehicles in the third quarter of 2022.

More specifically, Tesla produced 19,935 Model S/X and 345,988 Model 3/Y. The company was also able to deliver 18,672 Model S/X and 325,158 Model 3/Y in Q3 2022.

As noted by Tesla in a press release, the company has started transitioning to a more even regional mix of vehicle builds per week. This has resulted in the company increasing the number of cars in transit at the end of the quarter.

“As our production volumes continue to grow, it is becoming increasingly challenging to secure vehicle transportation capacity and at a reasonable cost during these peak logistics weeks.

“In Q3, we began transitioning to a more even regional mix of vehicle builds each week, which led to an increase in cars in transit at the end of the quarter. These cars have been ordered and will be delivered to customers upon arrival at their destination,” Tesla wrote.

Tesla’s Q3 2022 deliveries are successful. In comparison, the company delivered a total of 308,600 vehicles in Q4 2021, 310,048 cars in Q1 2022, and 254,695 vehicles in Q2 2022.

Tesla will be posting its Q3 2022 earnings results after markets close Oct. 19.

Streamline Collision In South Gate, CA, Joins 1Collision

1Collision proudly announces the addition of Streamline Collision, located in the city of South Gate in Los Angeles County, CA.

“We are excited to have Streamline Collision join our team of shops,” said Kevork Kahwajian, 1Collision regional manager Western U.S. “The shop is committed to OEM certifications, excellent customer service and new technologies to provide quality repairs.”

Carlos Contreras, owner of Streamline Collision, and Robert Alvarado, the general manager, learned about 1Collision after meeting Kahwajian.

“We were looking for opportunities to grow our business in a tough market here in Los Angeles but did not want to lose our essence of identity of what we started,” said Contreras.

“We had talked with different competitors, but they all wanted to take us down a path that just did not fit our model of who we are at Streamline Collision,” added Alvarado.

After a few more meetings with Kahwajian and building a trustworthy relationship, Streamline decided that 1Collision was the best fit to help grow the business.

Established in 2012, Streamline operates out of a 48,000-squarefoot facility focused on repairing vehicles, commercial trucks and RVs. Outside, there is space to park 60 vehicles.

Contreras said he is committed to reinvesting in equipment and educating technicians. Presently, the shop has 10 employees.

“In our changing industry, we have committed ourselves to become an OEM Assured Performance approved collision shop,” noted Contreras. “We pride ourselves in knowing that we have the most advanced equipment and certified technicians to work on yesterday’s and today’s automotive vehicles.”

“When we work on a vehicle, we do it correctly for the safety and satisfaction of our customers,” said Alvarado.
