Tesla’s record first quarter in 2021 was powered by several things, but it all came down to the numbers, as usual. The automaker, coming off of its best quarter in terms of deliveries and production figures, was able to mark down significant gains in automotive gross margin while decreasing costs of production. This ultimately led to the average cost of its vehicles being sliced by a large percentage, especially when compared to 2017 figures when the Model 3 was just being launched.
