As we reported earlier this week, the analyst consensus for the fourth quarter was 507,000 autos delivered. The road anticipated Tesla to fall in need of its aim to ship greater than 515,000 autos with the intention to be barely up on deliveries for the complete yr 2024 in comparison with 2023.

This morning, Tesla launched its official manufacturing and supply outcomes, confirming that it produced 459,445 autos and delivered 495,570 autos in This fall:

Whereas that is each under Wall Avenue expectations and under the corporate’s personal steering, it’s Tesla’s new quarterly file for deliveries.

Tesla achieved these outcomes whereas implementing its largest-ever reductions and incentives by direct reductions on vehicles, boosted referral packages, and incentives like free Supercharging, free Full Self-Driving, and extra.

With these outcomes from This fall, listed below are Tesla’s whole manufacturing and supply numbers for 2024:

That’s a slight 1% lower in deliveries in comparison with the 1,808,581 autos delivered in 2023, nevertheless it’s a large swing in progress from a 38% enhance in 2023 versus 2022.

In the present day, Tesla confirmed that it deployed 11 GWh of vitality storage by its Megapack and Powerall merchandise – a brand new file.

Electrek’s Take

That is worse than I anticipated. Once more, Tesla hadn’t supplied quarterly supply guidances in years, however when it did, it was fairly good.

The rationale for that’s that it usually gave it when already into the quarter with nice order visibility. As Tesla claims, it has the very best sale knowledge of any automaker due to its direct sale mannequin.

However this time, it was off by 20,000 models or much more because it claimed that it could obtain slight progress in total deliveries for the yr with a robust This fall.

Going from 38% progress to -1% whereas including a car to the lineup (Cybertruck), and having all its factories absolutely ramped, and providing the largest reductions and incentives ever, is clearly a nasty signal.

Many Tesla followers would observe that the automotive market is down. Whereas that’s true, the EV market, excluding Tesla, is up worldwide.

Usually, It might be time for some shake-up on the management degree, however the CEO has full management over the board and a robust base of extraordinarily loyal shareholders who boosted the inventory not based mostly on these regarding fundamentals, however based mostly on the anticipation of collusion on the federal degree now that the CEO purchased the elections.

It’s a wild state of affairs. Enjoyable occasions to be a Tesla reporter.
