Tesla Inc. on Wednesday reported that it produced 469,796 electric vehicles and delivered 462,890 units globally in the third quarter of 2024. The delivery tally represented a 6.4% increase compared to the 435,059 vehicles delivered in the corresponding period of 2023, snapping two consecutive quarters of year-over-year contractions.
The Austin-based automaker confirmed that the popular Model 3 sedan and Model Y crossover accounted for the vast majority of volume, with combined production of 443,668 units and deliveries of 439,975 units. Other models, which include the Model S, Model X, Cybertruck, and Semi, saw 26,128 units produced and 22,915 units delivered.
Global Delivery Execution Rebounds After Challenging First Half
Commercial momentum was strongly buoyed by retail incentives in Mainland China, where zero-interest financing packages and local government trade-in subsidies catalyzed customer purchases amid fierce domestic price competition from local rivals such as BYD, Li Auto, and Xiaomi.
In addition to core automotive operations, Tesla highlighted that its energy storage division deployed 6.9 GWh of stationary Megapack and Powerwall products during the third quarter, matching robust commercial demand for grid-scale battery systems.

While deliveries fell slightly short of some elevated Wall Street whispers predicting up to 470,000 units, analysts emphasized that returning to positive year-over-year growth stabilizes investor sentiment ahead of Tesla's long-awaited 'We, Robot' event in Los Angeles, where the company plans to showcase its autonomous Cybercab robotaxi platform.
Tesla is scheduled to release its complete third-quarter financial results, including gross automotive margins and automotive regulatory credit revenues, after market close on Wednesday, October 23, followed by its customary executive question-and-answer session.
