Tesla Delivery Estimates: Data-driven & free. Early access on Patreon.
My average error rate is 1.4% for Tesla's production and 3.0% for deliveries.
Tesla is expected to release its Q3 2025 production and delivery numbers tomorrow. When markets are open, as they will be tomorrow, the numbers are released at around 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

Hi everyone, here are the final Tesla delivery estimates for Q3 2025. For reference, deliveries were 462,890 units in Q3 2024.

• My estimate: 481,000
• Analyst consensus: 443,079 (from Tesla’s survey of 25 analysts, known as the Company-Compiled Consensus, published on Sep 26)

Hi everyone. Here’s my detailed calculation for Tesla's Q2 2025 earnings:

Hi everyone. The chart shows Model Y sales prices in the US based on DMV data. Each dot represents a vehicle, and each color shows a different trim level.

The most interesting part is that some Performance versions (shown in red) were so heavily discounted at the end of Q4 2024 and ...

Hi everyone. The chart shows actual Tesla sales in Europe, based on vehicle registration data from 25 countries.

In Q2 2025, Tesla sold 55,924 units, down 29% year-over-year from 78,417 units in Q2 2024.

Tesla has been struggling with brand image issues caused by political controversy.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will eliminate Tesla’s US regulatory credits, also known as ZEV credits.

Under the current system, automakers failing to meet zero-emission vehicle quotas must either pay a fine or purchase credits from companies like Tesla, which generate excess credits.

The table on the left shows my error rate. The one on the right shows the analyst consensus. My error rate is still lower than the consensus, but the gap is narrowing. I need more accurate results going forward, which means understanding what went wrong and finding ways to improve it.
July 3, 2025 at 9:19 AM
For maximum transparency, here’s my delivery error rate versus the analyst consensus (based on Tesla’s survey, also known as the company-compiled consensus) over the past 16 quarters.

Today’s result was my largest miss in the last four years.
July 2, 2025 at 5:16 PM
Tesla deliveries were down by 50,129 units in Q1 and 59,834 units in Q2 2025 year-over-year. Q3 will also be challenging, as last year’s Q3 was strong with 462,890 units delivered.

However, Tesla may soon launch a stripped-down Model Y, which it hopes will improve sales.
July 2, 2025 at 4:09 PM
Tesla deliveries fell 13.5% year-over-year in Q2 2025, the largest decline in the company's history. This follows a 13.0% drop in Q1 2025.

Still, the decline this quarter was smaller than many, including myself, had expected.
July 2, 2025 at 2:03 PM
This is my initial calculation for Tesla’s regional deliveries in Q2 2025. I’ll update the table as more registration data becomes available over the next few days.
July 2, 2025 at 2:03 PM
Here are my final Tesla delivery estimates for this quarter. I’m aiming for a lower error rate than my 3.0% average over the last 12 quarters.

Tesla Delivery Estimates for Q2 2025:
• My estimate: 356,000
• Analyst consensus: 385,086
• Q2 2024 deliveries: 443,956

Tesla is struggling to adapt to the new reality of lower sales. For example, sales in Canada have dropped to nearly zero, largely due to political controversy (source: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...).

Tesla doesn’t report Cybertruck, Model S, and Model X sales separately. Instead, it combines all three into a single number.
That number was 23,640 units in Q4 2024 but fell to 12,881 units in Q1 2025 due to weak demand. Based on the latest data, the decline is expected to continue this quarter.
June 27, 2025 at 7:28 PM
Today's update on Patreon (patreon.com/posts/132143...) includes DMV VIN data up to June 25. I use it to estimate Tesla’s production.

Over the last 12 quarters, my error rate has been 1.4% for production and 3.0% for deliveries.

However, I’ll post my final estimates on June 30th here as well.

In the first half of the year, Tesla sold

• 345,088 cars in North America in 2023, and
• 313,727 in 2024, a drop of 31,361 units.

The decline continues in 2025, but this time, the drop will be much larger than 31,000 or even 40,000 units.
June 27, 2025 at 12:56 AM
Tesla's Global inventory increased from 77,000 at the end of Q4 2024 to 101,000 at the end of Q1 2025. A similar increase is expected this quarter, with production running higher than deliveries because of limited demand.
June 26, 2025 at 7:25 PM
The red line shows Tesla’s China sales this quarter based on weekly car insurance data. After 12 weeks, sales are lower than in Q1, when Tesla blamed the drop on the Model Y Juniper production changeover.

Quarter-to-Date Sales (Weeks 1–12):
• Q1 2025: 116,119 units
• Q2 2025: 109,520 units
June 25, 2025 at 3:01 PM
Based on the latest data, Tesla sales in Europe remain weak. The chart shows sales over the past few quarters, with Q1 2025 being very low, which Tesla blamed on the Model Y Juniper production changeover in March. However, Q2 shows no improvement over Q1.

The numbers changed since my tweet below. 1.6 million Tesla deliveries this year no longer look possible. Analyst consensus is still too high for now, but it’s expected to come down over the next 8 days

• My Estimate: Below 1.60M units
• Analyst Consensus: 1.68M units
• 2024 Deliveries: 1.79M units
Analyst consensus for Tesla’s 2025 deliveries has dropped from 1.85M to 1.73M since my last post below. The latest:

• My Estimate: Below 1.67M units
• Analyst Consensus: 1.73M
• Last Year's Deliveries: 1.79M

Tesla delivery estimates for the full year have dropped since my last post below. The latest:

• My Estimate: Below 1.68M units
• Analyst Consensus: 1.85M
• Tesla's Target: 1.79M

A year ago today, my 2024 estimate was 91,000 and analyst consensus 252,000 higher than what actually happened in 2024.

Tesla sales in Europe are performing poorly. Based on the latest data, sales in the first half of 2025 are expected to be down 35% YOY.

Sales are down everywhere except Norway & Spain. Norway will be ~1,700 units above last year in the first half, but that’s small compared to the declines elsewhere
June 21, 2025 at 1:52 PM
Tesla deliveries dropped just 1.1% in 2024. But this year, the decline is expected to be over 10%.

Also, deliveries are expected to drop in all major regions, including North America, Europe, and China.

Hi everyone. Here’s the current Tesla delivery outlook based on the data so far:

Q2 2025: Deliveries are expected to be between 350,000 and 395,000 units, down from 443,956 in Q2 2024. I’ll tweet my final estimate on June 30, two days before Tesla reports the official numbers.

What would be a good delivery result for Q2 2025?

Tesla is currently 50,129 units behind last year after Q1. To close that gap over the remaining three quarters, they’d need to deliver 16,710 more units than last year in each quarter.
