Tesla’s Third-Quarter Performance and Future Outlook
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) reported a total of 497,099 vehicle deliveries for the third quarter of 2025, marking a 7.4% increase from the previous year and a 29.4% increase from the second quarter. However, the company anticipates a decline in sales volumes for the fourth quarter, particularly after the expiration of federal tax credits for electric vehicles (EVs) on September 30, 2025. It is estimated that Tesla generated around 62.6% of its sales volume internationally in the second quarter.
New Developments
Tesla has initiated production of a new, lower-cost version of the Model Y, aimed at making EVs more affordable in an increasing price environment. This model is expected to be ready for launch in the fourth quarter of 2025. Additionally, Tesla’s latest full self-driving (FSD) software version (14) reinforces its competitive edge in data collection for autonomous vehicle technology, boasting approximately 4.5 billion miles driven with its FSD capabilities.
