Tesla reported Sunday it delivered 343,830 vehicles in the third quarter. This new record was a turnaround from the second quarter when a shutdown of its China factory and other challenges affected the number of vehicle deliveries.
Tesla’s vehicle deliveries in the Q2 2022 amounted to just over 254,700 units. Quarterly deliveries dropped by almost 18%, compared with over 310,000 units in the first quarter of 2022.
However, the rebound didn’t meet Wall Street forecasts of 358,000 – 371,000 vehicles. Besides, the gap between production and delivery numbers was larger than usual. The company produced 365,923 vehicles in the third quarter.
Earlier this year, Elon Musk mentioned that Tesla would try to move away from its operating model that results in large pushes for deliveries at the end of quarters. Since customer experience suffers from the long wait time, Tesla even stopped taking orders for popular vehicle versions.
