Tesla has actually launched its second-quarter production and sales numbers. The take-home summary: they squashed Wall Street’s expectations. I’ll simply concentrate on shipments (aka sales) here, however here’s a screenshot from Tesla’s news release revealing both production and sales:
We blogged about expectations for Tesla sales a number of times in the previous week. In one post, I concentrated on Troy Teslike’s quote that there would be 441,000 sales, however likewise pointed out the Wall Street agreement of 448,000 sales. In the heading, I included a little fudge space and put the variety of expectations at 440,000– 450,000. In a 2nd post, Peter McGuthrie looked a bit more broadly at Wall Street expert expectations. At that point, the FactSet agreement was at about 445,000, however he likewise pointed out that Piper Sandler was anticipating 469,000 sales. Well, the majority of Wall Street was away the mark, however Piper Sandler practically accomplished. Tesla overlooked the agreement and provided 466,140 lorries in the 2nd quarter. This was in spite of quarter-end stock being up a fair bit in the United States.
Let’s look more carefully at what this implies for Tesla’s long-lasting sales patterns.
This very first and the majority of fundamental chart reveals Tesla’s quarterly sales from the start of Design S sales in 2012 through the 2nd quarter of 2023. It reveals that instead of decrease in the previous quarter, the development in shipment was more powerful than it had actually remained in the very first quarter. Likewise, it simply plainly reveals a nearly completely consistent increase in Tesla sales for many years. In truth, the development in sales from Q1 2023 to Q2 2023 resembles overall sales in the 2nd quarter of 2018, simply 5 years earlier.
This line chart then reveals the design numbers Tesla shares in another quarterly visualization. Tesla integrates Design 3 and Design Y sales (something nearly all people want it would stop doing now that it’s a fully grown and effective business) and Design S and Design X sales (exact same). In any case, it reveals a high, constant increase in Design 3 plus Design Y sales, and a stagnant low level of sales from the far more pricey Design S and Design X.
Approximating a complete split of those 4 designs, I create the line chart above. In this case, Design 3 sales have actually been increasing extremely slightly, while Design Y sales have actually controlled the business’s development and continued to be rather sharp in current quarters– however, they might be getting a bit softer in their development and tending towards a “leveling off” instructions. Naturally, this is simply a quote. We do not have main business numbers in this case. Tesla Design 3 sales might be increasing a bit more and Design Y sales might be leveling off more, or Design 3 sales might not be increasing at all and Design Y sales might be increasing more greatly. What we do understand is that the Design Y was the very best selling auto design worldwide in the very first quarter, and, most likely than not, it remained in the 2nd quarter also. (RIP, Toyota Corolla and Ford F-150.)
This next chart imagines the exact same information as the line chart above it. It’s simply another method to compare, aesthetically, the model-specific development. In addition, considering that the sales overalls are stacked, you can see the exact same pattern as that initial bar chart revealing overall Tesla quarterly sales– it simply begins a bit later on in time, not extending all the method back to the very first quarter of Design S sales in 2012.
For the next 4 charts, we’ll move to cumulative sales, prior to going back to quarterly sales in a last, interactive chart or series of charts.
Beginning with total Tesla sales, we have this chart revealing cumulative Tesla sales from quarter to quarter beginning in the business’s very first quarter of Design S sales. It’s nearly an ideal chart showing rapid development– nearly like a demonstrative chart in an economics book. Discover me a much better real-world chart showing disruptive tech development.
This next chart reveals cumulative Design 3 and Design Y sales integrated, however with the Design Y’s cumulative sales on top in the darker blue color.
Here’s an appearance just at cumulative Design Y sales.
And here’s an appearance just at cumulative Design 3 sales.
Finally, I have actually got an interactive chart revealing each design’s quarterly sales with time. You simply need to click the design’s name to see its quarterly sales chart. Listed below this interactive chart, there’s likewise an interactive variation of the fourth chart from the top. Regrettably, these interactive charts typically aren’t noticeable or aren’t simple to utilize and see on mobile phones. So, to get complete pleasure (or maybe any pleasure) out of these interactive sales charts, dive onto a regular computer system if you are merely on a phone today.
So, Tesla showed strong car sales development yet once again, as it has actually done from one quarter to the next nearly constantly for the previous 11 years. It’s a remarkable accomplishment by any procedure.
Will Tesla sales surprise favorably once again in the 3rd quarter? We’ll see. In the meantime, let us understand what you consider Tesla’s second-quarter sales in addition to its huge beat of Wall Street (and our) expectations.

Here at CleanTechnica, we carried out a minimal paywall for a while, however it constantly felt incorrect– and it was constantly hard to choose what we need to put behind there. In theory, your most special and finest material goes behind a paywall. However then less individuals read it! We simply do not like paywalls, therefore we have actually chosen to ditch ours.
