Tesla delivers 486,532 vehicles in Q3, produces 464,391; energy storage hits 13.7 GWh

Tesla opened the quarter’s scorekeeping with a fresh production and deliveries print. In a press release furnished with an 8-K Friday morning, Tesla, Inc. said it produced 464,391 vehicles and delivered 486,532 in the third quarter of 2026, and deployed 13.7 GWh of energy storage products.

Model 3 and Model Y remained the volume core: 457,387 produced and 478,237 delivered. Other models accounted for 7,004 produced and 8,295 delivered. About 1% of total deliveries were subject to operating-lease accounting, according to the release table.

The company thanked customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and supporters for the results and stressed that deliveries and storage deployments are only two measures of performance. Net income and cash flow will come with the rest of the financial package, Tesla said.
