Earlier in October, Tesla said its vehicle production for the quarter came in at over 365,000, and its deliveries were over 343,000. Both of those figures were up from the second quarter when the electric vehicle maker reported producing over 258,000 vehicles and delivering over 254,000.10月初，特斯拉表示，该季度其汽车产量超过36.5万辆，交付量超过34.3万辆。这两项数据都高于第二季度的数据，当时这家电动汽车制造商报告产量超过25.8万辆，交付量超过25.4万辆。

Some challenges Tesla said it faced include cost inflation of raw materials, ramp inefficiencies at certain factories, logistics volatility, and supply chain issues.特斯拉表示，它面临的一些挑战包括原材料成本上涨、某些工厂的生产效率低下、物流不稳定和供应链问题。

"I see a potential path for Tesla to be worth more than Apple and Saudi Aramco combined," Musk continued. "Now that doesn't mean it will happen or that it'll be easy. In fact, I think it will be very difficult and require a lot of work, some very creative new products, mass expansion and – always – luck."“我认为特斯拉的价值有可能超过苹果和沙特阿美石油公司的总和，”马斯克继续说道。“这并不意味着它会发生，也不意味着它会很容易。事实上，我认为这将是非常困难的，需要大量的工作，一些非常有创意的新产品，大规模扩张，以及——总是——运气。”

"I think it's an asset that has sort of languished for a long time but has incredible potential," he said.
