What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Tesla reported third-quarter electric vehicle deliveries of 486,532, surpassing the consensus estimate of 461,100. This performance occurred as the company lowered vehicle prices and gas prices increased due to the war in Iran. Gene Munster noted that Tesla's delivery decline was minimal (2%) compared to the 75% decline reported by Ford and General Motors.
