Tesla posted a $5.5 billion annual profit on $53.8 billion of sales in 2021, up from $721 million in profit and $31.5 billion in sales in 2020.

Tesla said that it expects global supply disruptions and constraints to continue, resulting in the shares dropping 7.41% in aftermarket trading.

“The rate of growth will depend on our equipment capacity, operational efficiency and the capacity and stability of the supply chain,” Tesla said in a statement. “Our own factories have been running below capacity for several quarters as supply chain became the main limiting factor, which is likely to continue through 2022.”
