Tesla Stocks Climb as its Q3 Report Hits Vehicle Deliveries

On Tuesday, shares of Tesla Inc. climbed as it reported impressing third-quarter vehicle deliveries.

Tesla improved 0.81% or 6.31 points to $781.53 per share after declining 0.03% to $775.22 per share last Friday. 

Accordingly, the automaker’s third-quarter delivery numbers extended 73.00% to 241,300 vehicles from the same period from last year. 

Also, it came in higher than the analysts’ expectation of 220,000 to 225,000, which is a significant winning streak for the company.

Out of the reported figures, 228,882 vehicles were mid-range cars, namely Model 3 and Model Y.

In addition, its total delivery number for this year significantly hiked 100.00% to 627,000 vehicles compared to the 2020 data.

Then, its Shanghai factory also contributed to the uplift of sales because of its proximity to chip suppliers.

Remarkably, Tesla stunned the market as supply bottlenecks and chip shortages halted most vehicle productions of its rival manufacturers.
