Tesla has released its production and delivery figures for the third quarter of 2026. The U.S. manufacturer produced nearly 465,000 electric vehicles over the months of July, August, and September. Around 486,500 vehicles were delivered.

457,387 units of the midsize sedan Model 3 and 478,237 units of the midsize SUV Model Y left the production line, with those models respectively being delivered in those quantities.

“Other models” had 7004 units built and 8295 delivered. Following the production halt in spring, the luxury sedan Model S and the large SUV Model X are no longer part of ongoing production. Thus, the vehicles built in the third quarter in these categories will likely be primarily the pickup truck “Cybertruck.” Deliveries may still include previously produced Model S and Model X vehicles.

In total, Tesla built 464,391 electric cars in the third quarter and delivered 486,532 vehicles. Compared to the previous quarter, this represents a 2.8 percent increase in production and a 1.3 percent increase in deliveries. Compared to the same quarter last year, production rose by 3.8 percent, while deliveries declined by 2.1 percent.

In the second quarter of 2026, Tesla produced 451,758 vehicles and delivered 480,126. In the third quarter of 2025, it produced 447,450 electric cars and delivered 497,099.

Tesla will announce further details on its financial results for the third quarter of 2026, including figures on revenue and profit/loss, as well as an outlook for the rest of the year, at a later time.
