What did Tesla's Q3 2026 deliveries show?
Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in Q3 2026, beating its own company-compiled analyst consensus of 461,974 by about 5.3%. It produced 464,391 vehicles, so it delivered roughly 22,100 more cars than it built and drew down inventory. Deliveries were about 2% below the 497,099 of Q3 2025, the quarter before the US federal EV tax credit expired on September 30, 2025.
- Model 3/Y deliveries: 478,237
- Other models deliveries: 8,295
- Energy storage deployed: 13.7 GWh, up from 12.5 GWh a year earlier
Deliveries come out about three weeks before earnings, so they are the first hard number of each quarter. Revenue and margins are still unknown until October 21. Our Q3 2026 deliveries preview covers what the market expected going into the release.
What is Tesla expected to report for Q3 2026?
Tesla does not give quarterly revenue or earnings guidance, and its recent update decks contain no numeric volume or margin targets for 2026. The one figure management has put on the table is capital spending: on the April 22 call, Tesla's CFO said 2026 capex would top $25 billion (CNBC). Revenue and adjusted EPS consensus from a named provider, updated after the delivery beat, will be added here before October 21.
Four lines in the results tend to decide how the report is read. Each one comes from Tesla's own update deck.
- Adjusted EPS vs consensus: Tesla missed LSEG estimates in 9 of the last 12 quarters, including Q2 2026 ($0.33 vs $0.51)
- Regulatory credits: $146 million in Q2 2026, down from $439 million a year earlier, which removes a high-margin cushion from profits
- Capex: $5.79 billion in Q2 2026 alone, against the full-year figure of more than $25 billion
- Energy storage: 13.7 GWh deployed in Q3 2026, second only to Q4 2025's 14.2 GWh in the last 13 quarters

What did Tesla report last quarter?
On July 22, 2026, Tesla reported Q2 2026 (April–June 2026) revenue of $28.24 billion, a record, against LSEG's $25.71 billion estimate. Adjusted EPS was $0.33, well short of the $0.51 expected, and GAAP EPS was $0.32. Total GAAP gross margin was 16.8% (Tesla Q2 2026 update).
Regulatory credit revenue fell to $146 million from $439 million a year earlier, and capex reached $5.79 billion in the quarter. TSLA closed at $319.69 the next day, down 14.52%, its worst post-earnings session of the last 12 quarters.
How did TSLA trade on MEXC after the last report?
The US market closed at 4:00 p.m. ET on July 22, and Tesla's results reached the SEC at 4:35 p.m. MEXC's TESLA_USDT perpetual futures contract (1 contract = 0.01 TSLA) kept trading through the night.
- 4:00 p.m. ET, Jul 22 (US close): 374.36 USDT
- 3:00 a.m. ET, Jul 23 (3:00 p.m. Beijing): 358.64 USDT, down 4.20%
- 9:00 a.m. ET, Jul 23 (30 minutes before the US open): 345.97 USDT, down 7.58%
- 10:00 a.m. ET, Jul 23 (30 minutes after the open): 327.15 USDT, down 12.61%
By Beijing afternoon the contract was already pointing the same way as the stock's eventual 14.52% fall. By 9:00 a.m. ET it had covered about half of that move, and the largest single drop came in the hour around the US open. 24/7 trading lets you place orders outside US market hours, but it does not mean prices are discovered around the clock: liquidity is thinner overnight, and the contract can still gap when the cash market opens.

Tesla earnings history: results vs estimates and stock reaction
Tesla's adjusted EPS beat LSEG consensus in only 3 of the last 12 quarters, and revenue beat in 4. The print alone has not predicted the reaction: the stock rose after 4 of the 9 EPS misses and fell after 2 of the 3 beats. The average next-day move was 9.0% in either direction, and 5 of the 12 reports moved the stock 10% or more, from a 14.52% drop after Q2 2026 to a 21.92% gain after Q3 2024.

Sources and method: actual results as first reported in Tesla's quarterly update decks, filed with the SEC as 8-K exhibits; estimates are LSEG consensus as reported by CNBC on each report day; prices are split-adjusted closes from Yahoo Finance. From Q1 2025, Tesla's adjusted earnings exclude gains and losses on its bitcoin holdings, which is why figures such as the $173 million unrealized bitcoin loss in Q1 2026 do not appear in adjusted EPS. Q4 2024 adjusted EPS was later recast to $0.60 on that basis. "Next day" compares the report-day close with the following trading day's close. Past reactions do not predict future ones.
