DETROIT (AP) — Tesla says it delivered more electric vehicles worldwide in the second quarter than it did in the first. The increase came even though coronavirus restrictions forced it to shut down its only U.S. factory for much of the period.

The company says it delivered 90,650 vehicles from April through June as it rolled out the new Model Y SUV in the U.S. and China. That's a 2.5% increase over the first quarter's 88,400.

Coronavirus restrictions adopted in the San Francisco Bay Area forced Tesla to close its only U.S. factory in Fremont, California, for almost two months starting March 23. It didn't reopen until May 11.

The Palo Alto, California, company said it delivered 10,600 of its older Models, the S sedan and X SUV. The newer Y small SUV and Model 3 smaller car accounted for the bulk of the sales at 75,946.
