Tesla’s Q2 Delivery Beat Fueled by Gas, FSD, Pricing and Europe

Tesla posted a Q2 2026 delivery of 480,126 vehicles (up 25% YoY) with production of 451,758, led by Model 3/Y, beating Wall Street estimates and ending a two-year slide in deliveries. The beat is attributed to four drivers: rising gas prices boosting EV incentive, increased adoption of Full Self-Driving in Europe, strategic pricing with lower-cost Model 3/Y configurations, and a European recovery supported by incentives and exports from Shanghai and Berlin. The result suggests demand outpacing supply and demonstrates Tesla’s resilience even as the US EV tax credit winds down.

Lucid Stock Plummets as Q2 Deliveries Fall Short of Estimates

Lucid stock (LCID) tumbled as the luxury electric vehicle maker announced second quarter deliveries that missed Wall Street expectations. The company delivered 1,404 vehicles, falling short of the estimated 1,873, and produced 2,173 vehicles in the quarter. Lucid's struggle to meet expectations contrasts with rivals like Rivian and legacy automakers like GM and Ford, which have met or exceeded their EV production targets. The high price tag of Lucid's sole EV, starting at $90,000, may be impacting demand. However, the company did strike a "long-term strategic technology partnership" with Aston Martin to supply components for future Aston Martin EVs.

Jefferies analyst Philippe Houchois raised the firm's price target for Tesla to $265 from $185, citing a consensus view that Q2 will be a trough in auto gross margin.

Despite recent price cuts, Houchois believes there is still room for growth, especially with potential product refreshes and Tesla's operational performance advantage over legacy OEMs. Tesla is set to release its Q2 earnings results on July 19.
