Tesla records an increase in deliveries in the 2024 first quarter as it hopes for more boosted global deliveries in the third quarter.
Electric car manufacturing Company, Tesla, has recorded the highest-ever first-quarter deliveries of the auto-products worldwide.
Due to recent reports of the company’s share slump, investors are now hoping for more low-interest financing, mouth-watering lease deals, and free charging, which boosted Tesla’s global deliveries in the third quarter.
This report of an increase in distribution and deliveries is the first for the electric auto-manufacturing company this year.
The Austin, Texas, company stated yesterday, Wednesday, 2nd October 2024, that it had delivered 462,890 Tesla vehicles worldwide from July through September.
Deliveries were said to have been strengthened by loans as low as 1.99%, and $299 monthly leases on the Model 3, the cheapest vehicle on the Tesla market. Tesla Records Increase In Deliveries In First Quarter
The reports indicated that Tesla also delivered 435,059 vehicles during this same period the year before (last year).
According to the data provided by Factset, the figure delivered was slightly higher than the estimated 462,000 for the period from July to September.
Howbeit, the development brought about a drop in Tesla’s share yesterday morning, for almost 4%.
According to Dan Ives of Wedbush, “the deliveries were “good and a step in the right direction, but there would be pressure on the company’s stock because investors had been hoping for even better.

“Overall, this is a clear improvement from the first half and we believe getting in the range of 1.8 million for the year is still the key and important bogey,” Ives said.
In recent reports, Tesla had found it uneasy this year to sell its parks of ageing models of the vehicle as concerns over range, price and ability over electric vehicle sales in the U.S. and Europe.

Down sales in recent periods of the year occasioned a proposal for a discount on the brand by the automaker, which led to a sharp fall in the industry’s leading margin. Tesla Records Increase In Deliveries In First Quarter
Automobile analysts had estimated that the average price for Tesla vehicles was $42,000 for the third quarter which appeared to be the lowest price in four years.
The decline in sales of the product may draw down deliveries and earnings of the company when they are published next month, on 23rd October 2024.
Tesla’s decline in sales emanates as competition increases from old and new automakers who are striving to have the company’s larger share.
Most of Tesla’s sales came from smaller and cheapest Models like 3 and Y, which has seen the company sell only 22,915 of the expensive models which include X and S, as well as the new Cybertruck.
In a note of Dam Ives, the Wedbush analyst, he wrote to investors on Tuesday, assuring them that third-quarter sales would bring a rebound as China sales continue to increase and price and demand stabilize.
“As China continues to heat up on the demand story for Tesla with favourable leasing/financing terms and pent-up demand in the region, we are confident that we will see a significant growth figure in the region,” he wrote.
“Europe will continue to be slow with macroeconomic pressures, and U.S. demand should stabilize, Ives wrote.
“But BNP Paribas Exane said in an investor note that long-term expectations of the market are somewhat high for Tesla. The company said its sales estimates for 2026 and 2027 “remain 10% to 15% below the street, respectively,” Ives added.
Next week, Tesla will hold an event to unveil a purpose-built robotaxi. Watch out!
