Why Tesla Shares Are Trading Higher Today

Tesla Inc TSLA is trading higher Monday morning after the company announced better-than-expected vehicle production and delivery numbers for the fourth quarter and full-year 2021. 

Vehicle production totaled 305,840 in the fourth quarter, while deliveries reached 308,600, representing an increase of about 71% year-over-year.

Tesla said it produced 930,422 vehicles in 2021 and delivered 936,172 during the year.
