Reuters reported that Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles from July through September, compared with an average analyst estimate of 456,896. European registrations rebounded, helping offset the loss of the U.S. federal EV tax credit.
Tesla needs at least 311,448 fourth-quarter deliveries to match last year's total, a threshold below every quarterly result since mid-2022. The company is due to report financial results on October 21.
