EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) said on Friday that its factory in California and its gigafactory in Nevada together made its 3 millionth electric vehicle and it's a deep metallic blue.
What Happened: "Congrats Tesla Fremont + Giga Nevada on building their 3 millionth car!" Tesla wrote on X. The post was adjoined by a photograph of celebrating employees with the blue landmark Tesla in their midst.

Giga Nevada does not make production vehicles by itself. Instead, it is focused on electric motors, energy storage products, vehicle powertrains, and batteries. The Fremont factory, in contrast, makes Tesla's mass-market offerings Model 3 and Y, as well as the more premium Model S and X.
Why It Matters: The production milestone comes amidst layoffs. Last month, Tesla announced plans to cut at least 10% or 14,000 of its global workforce in an effort to cut costs. At least 3,300 jobs were cut in California and nearly 700 in Nevada.
As part of the same strategy, Tesla will lay off nearly 600 more employees at its Fremont-based manufacturing plant and its engineering headquarters in Palo Alto.
Tesla's global vehicle inventory jumped 87% from last year to 28 days of supply in the first quarter. The company's global deliveries fell to 386,810, marking an 8.5% year-on-year dip as demand dwindled. The company, however, produced 433,371 vehicles in the time frame.

Giga Nevada自己不生產量產車。相反,它專注於電動機、儲能產品、汽車動力系統和電池。相比之下,弗裏蒙特工廠生產特斯拉的大衆市場產品Model 3和Y,以及更優質的Model S和X。
爲何重要:生產里程碑是在裁員期間出現的。上個月,特斯拉宣佈計劃裁減至少10%或14,000名全球員工,以削減成本。加利福尼亞州至少裁掉了3,300個工作崗位,內華達州裁掉了近700個工作崗位。
作爲同一戰略的一部分,特斯拉將在其位於弗裏蒙特的製造工廠和位於帕洛阿爾託的工程總部再裁員近600名員工。
特斯拉的全球汽車庫存較去年增長了87%,至第一季度的供應天數爲28天。由於需求減少,該公司的全球交付量降至386,810輛,同比下降8.5%。但是,該公司在此期間生產了433,371輛汽車。
