Tesla clears backlog with 480,126 Q2 deliveries, topping forecasts

Tesla reported Q2 production of 451,758 and 480,126 deliveries, well above consensus (roughly 396k–408k from Bloomberg/IR/Goldman/Morgan Stanley), effectively clearing its earlier backlog and marking ~25% year‑over‑year growth. The strong print suggests robust demand and an unwind of vehicle inventory, with analysts lifting or reaffirming 2026 targets as a result. Geographic delivery details weren’t disclosed, but the beat reinforces a more positive near‑term narrative for Tesla’s auto business.
