Anticipated Tesla Deliveries: A Look at Upcoming Vehicle Shipments
Tesla's anticipated third-quarter deliveries are forecasted to range between 350,000 and 370,000 vehicles, according to analyst predictions. This figure, if achieved, would represent a significant increase compared to both Q2 2022 and Q3 2021 deliveries, reflecting Tesla's production ramp-up and growth ambitions.
While precise Q2 2022 numbers are not available, analysts expect a slight decrease in deliveries compared to the 466,140 vehicles delivered in Q2. In contrast, Q3 2021 saw Tesla deliver approximately 201,250 vehicles. The expected Q3 2022 deliveries would mark a notable year-over-year growth, aligning with Tesla's goal of delivering around 1.4 million vehicles for the full year 2022, representing about a 50% increase over 2021's 936,222 deliveries.
The high interest rate environment and an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop could potentially impact demand for Tesla's vehicles. Higher interest rates may lead to higher payments, making it difficult for some people to afford new vehicles. However, despite potential demand pressures, deliveries of around 460,000 units in Q3 would still be impressive.
Elon Musk mentioned that total production would be down slightly during Q3 due to production line upgrades. Tesla management also mentioned a "slight" sequential decrease in vehicle production during Q3 due to planned pauses in production.
Tesla is expected to announce its third-quarter deliveries on Monday, and the upcoming third-quarter earnings call may provide insights into management's expectations for Q4. Comments during the call regarding Q4 expectations may be crucial for investors' opinions about Tesla's growth. Investors may not consider worse-than-anticipated third-quarter deliveries a significant letdown due to production shutdowns.
Analyst estimates for Tesla's third-quarter deliveries range from 440,000 to 510,000 units. The consensus forecast for Tesla's third-quarter deliveries remains around 460,000 vehicles. Tesla's factory upgrades are expected to bring the company closer to its goal of annual production of more than two million units per year.
