Tesla performs better than expected: The Model Y drives deliveries
The figures were announced by Tesla itself from its headquarters in Austin, Texas. Production reached 464,391 vehicles, but deliveries were 22,000 units higher, at 486,532. This figure far exceeds the consensus of financial analysts, who had predicted an average sales volume of 461,974 units. Deliveries for the just-ended quarter also surpassed the 480,126 units delivered in the second quarter. However, they remain below the 497,099 units sold in the third quarter of 2025. It is still a strong result, considering that Elon Musk’s brand has not launched any new car models.
Musk Advises Pentagon on Future Wars
The sales of the Model 3 and especially the Model Y accounted for almost all of them, reaching 478,237 units. Performance was also strong in Europe, as shown by data from the French market, where the Model Y continued to lead in sales. The rest of the lineup, including the Tesla Semi, a heavy vehicle set to arrive in Europe as well, resulted in only 7,004 deliveries. The Model X and Model S are now well-known to be out of production. During the quarter, the American company reported that 13.7 GWh of energy storage systems were installed. As for Musk, he was recently appointed as a senior advisor to the Pentagon on Project Meridian, tasked with examining tools for future wars. This is a strategic study focused on warfare technologies and military dominance in the coming decades. Musk will work alongside Palmer Luckey and Newt Gingrich.
