With its widespread appeal, the Model Y has become highly sought-after globally, prompting Tesla to increase production capacity in order to meet the high demand.
Tesla Giga Texas reached a production rate of 3,000 Model Y units per week in December and added 1,000 more units by early April. Just over a month later, the company has already reached a new milestone of 5,000 units in a single week, increasing the capacity by 20 percent in a short amount of time.
Shares of TSLA are up 2.26% in premarket trading on Wednesday.
