VERBATIM: The increase came after the company cut prices several times on its four electric vehicle models and buyers took advantage of U.S. government tax credits. The Austin, Texas, producer of EV, solar panels and batteries said it sold a record 466,140 vehicles worldwide from April through June. That’s nearly doubling the 254,695 it sold during the same period a year earlier.
