Tesla remains to be solely breaking down deliveries and manufacturing between Mannequin S/X and Mannequin 3/Y as an alternative of by each automobile program like most different automakers:

The full variety of deliveries is an enormous quarter-to-quarter soar in comparison with the 90,000 automobiles Tesla delivered final quarter.
It’s additionally a brand new all-time supply document for Tesla — beating its This fall 2019 deliveries of 112,000 electrical automobiles.
Manufacturing can be up from 82,000 automobiles final quarter because the shutdown of Fremont manufacturing unit was nonetheless affecting manufacturing capability.
Tesla now appears to have totally recovered its manufacturing capability from pre-pandemic and is including some extra.
In its quarterly supply and manufacturing quantity launch, Tesla doesn’t break down manufacturing by manufacturing unit, however the info must be launched throughout its Q3 earnings later this month.
Tesla has additionally confirmed that new automobile stock has declined when it comes to days of gross sales final quarter:
When it comes to days of gross sales, new automobile stock declined additional in Q3 as we proceed to enhance our supply effectivity.

Electrek’s Take
This can be a actually spectacular outcome particularly when in comparison with the efficiency of different automakers.
Whereas the auto trade is recovering remarkably quick from the pandemic, there’s no different automaker like Tesla who shouldn’t be solely recovering but in addition rising gross sales considerably.
Tesla delivered 97,000 automobiles in Q3 2019. That’s a 43 year-over-year enhance. Unbelievable..
It now looks as if the fitting strategy to interpret Elon’s electronic mail that document deliveries for the quarter have been achievable 10 days earlier than the tip of the quarter and the next congratulation to Tesla workers meant that the purpose was achieved final weekend.
As we reported earlier this week, Tesla achieved a document supply quantity throughout its end-of-quarter push.
It appears to be like like Tesla achieved the purpose with 4 or 5 extra days of deliveries and with the brand new document tempo of day by day deliveries, they have been in a position so as to add ~27,000 automobiles.
It’s truly not the primary time that Tesla needed to ship ~30,000 automobiles throughout its end-of-the-quarter, however on this case, it appears to be like like Tesla might need delivered 60,000 automobiles over the past two weeks of the quarter.
I can’t wait to get extra knowledge from Europe and China for September to get a greater concept of the way it performed out.
