Tesla Crushes Wall Street Expectations, Beats Delivery Estimates by over 15 Percent
Tesla’s 467,762 Model 3 and Model Y deliveries helped offset weaker premium models and lifted energy storage deployments to 13.5 GWh.
- Tesla reported 480,126 deliveries for the second period of 2026, significantly beating Wall Street consensus estimates of 406,600 vehicles and marking a strong reversal after months of demand concerns.
- Production totaled 451,758 vehicles, meaning Tesla shipped more cars than it built during the period, drawing down inventory that had swelled to 27 days of supply at the end of the first period.
- Model vehicles accounted for 467,762 deliveries, while Other Models comprised 12,364 units. Energy storage deployments reached 13.5 GWh, with Megapack continuing to accelerate as a growth driver.
- Despite the delivery beat, investor Michael Burry revealed a new short position against Tesla, with shares opening down over 2 percent today despite the strong results.
- Tesla will report full financial results later this month, clarifying whether the company maintained Automotive gross margins while achieving these record delivery volumes.
