The automobile industry has largely functioned on fossil-fueled cars for years now. The electric-powered cars are still considered as the wheels of the future. However, the story doesn’t seem to be same anymore as Tesla has recently registered a sales milestone of 10,00,000 cars. The manufacturer recently rolled out a millionth car from its Fremont, California based manufacturing facility. The millionth car to be produced from the factory was a Model Y, a picture of which was shared via a tweet by Elon Musk, CEO, Tesla Inc.

However, with the novel Coved-19 Coronavirus outbreak, the deadline was shifted to early 2021, which is also expected to go for a toss. Tesla's Shanghai-based Gigafactory has an annual production capacity of 2,50,000 units, but the epidemic has affected the operations at the facility. Nevertheless, the car manufacturer has done a commendable feat of reaching a milestone of selling 1 million EVs.
