(MENAFN) US Electric carmaker Tesla announced it delivered a "record" number of vehicles in the first quarter, as it began more timely reporting of sales figures, Arab News reported.
The California firm, started by tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, said it sold 10,030 cars in the first three months of 2015. Last year, the group sold some 55,000 vehicles in total.
This was a new company record for the most cars delivered in a quarter and represents a 55 percent increase over the first quarter last year, the company said in a statement.
"We have decided to take this approach, because inaccurate sources of information are sometimes used by others to project the number of vehicle deliveries," the statement said.
