With excitement, we look at the end of each quarter to the corresponding current quarterly figures from Tesla. On 02 July 2023, the time had come and Tesla published the first figures for the 2nd quarter of 2023 and exceeded everyone's expectations with over 466,000 electric vehicles delivered. While Wall Street was expecting another record quarter for Tesla deliveries, the estimate of 448,000 vehicles delivered was lower than the actual number. That beat Tesla's previous record of 422,000 vehicles, which the company set in the first quarter of 2023.
Production Vehicles delivered accounted for as operating leases:
Model S/X produced: 19,489 // Delivered: 19,225
Model 3/Y Produced: 460,211 // Delivered: 446,915
Total produced: 479,700 // Delivered: 466,140
BREAKING: Tesla delivered an all-time high 466,140 vehicles in Q2, smashing Wall St expectations of ~447k.

Total Q2 production was also an all-time high at 479,700. Congrats @Tesla team & @elonmusk on a record quarter! pic.twitter.com/EYw1czIk1v
Of course these are Model 3 and the Model Y still the mass-produced vehicles that drive Tesla's sales and deliveries and help the company set new records, but the Model S and Model X also seem to be selling better again since the facelift two years ago.
The number of vehicles added to inventory this quarter is also lower than in recent quarters, at around 13,000 vehicles. Tesla usually mentions Transit vehicles in its press releases, but not this quarter. This could indicate that there are more vehicles in inventory than in transit this time.
Tesla is now at a total of about 888,000 deliveries in the first half of 2023 and needs less than a million deliveries in the second half to reach its forecast of 1.8 million deliveries in 2023.
Tesla reports new production record of 479,700 and record deliveries of 466,140 for 23Q2. The growth in deliveries is 10% QoQ and 83% YoY. The Tesla fleet reaches 4.5m cars. $TSLA pic.twitter.com/wdXiLlBpTq
