Many would think that any vehicle-related product or market would drop in sales during the pandemic. However, Tesla has been staying strong and keeping investors happy.
When interviewed on Automotive News’ Daily Drive Podcast, CEO Elon Musk made a statement about how Tesla remained strong during the pandemic:
