Tesla saw its sales surge to 480,000 cars delivered around the world in quarter two, a figure bolstered by European consumers’ interest in its EVs.

Tesla beat delivery estimates by 18% in Q2 2026, posting 480,126 deliveries. It was a 25% YoY increase and 34% jump from Q1 as the company tries to rebound.

Tesla is trying to recover from consecutive annual declines in vehicle sales that were partly caused by a consumer backlash against CEO Elon Musk.

Deliveries outstripped production, suggesting Tesla has cleared some inventory.
