Tesla Sets Quarterly Delivery Record, Aided By Price Cuts by alanohnsman
it delivered a record 466,140 sedans and crossovers in the second quarter aided by steep price cuts. The results topped analysts’ expectations.
Led by deliveries of new battery-powered Model Ys and 3s, totaling 446,915 units, the overall sales figure was lifted by 83% from a year ago and 10% from 2023’s first quarter, Tesla’s previous high. Production at the Austin, Texas-based company's four auto-assembly plants rose 86% from a year ago to 479,700 vehicles.
Analysts that cover Tesla expected deliveries of about 448,000 units. Led by billionaire CEO Elon Musk, the company doesn’t provide delivery or production details by global region, making it difficult to tell where demand for its vehicles is highest. North America likely accounted for the biggest share of deliveries during the quarter, followed by China, Europe and the rest of the world, Deutsche Bank equity analyst Emmanual Rossner wrote in a research note last month.
“Price cuts implemented early in 2023 have paid major dividends for Musk & Co. as demand appears to remain very strong and production efficiencies have allowed for the massive deliveries beat this quarter,” Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in a research note on Sunday. “Overall, we believe Tesla is still on track to hit its 1.8-million-unit delivery bogey for the year with this performance.”
Sales have grown steadily over the past year owing to the ramping up of new plants in Berlin and Austin that opened in early 2022. Tesla is also preparing to

Used BAC Mono R - Delivery Mileage - 1 of 40 Examples [DK1781] for saleFaster than a P1 GTR, the 2.5l, Cosworth-fettled, Duratec-engined BAC Mono startled journalists when it was tested at Anglesey circuit in 2015. At the time its four-cylinder engine revved to 8,000rpm and delivered 305bhp. With a dry weight of just 540kg, it offered a Veyron-matching power to weight ratio of 525hp/ton! Founded by brothers Neill and Ian Briggs in 2009, BAC launched the Mono in 2011. A single seated, centred driving position helps deliver the most focussed driving experience possible. In 2015, the engine was upgraded making the car capable of a 0-60 run of just 2.7 seconds and capable of 170mph flat out. Built solely with the intention of going as fast as possible with as little weight as possible, everything was considered. An intrinsic methodology that has remained to date. The Mono R was launched in 2022 and pays testament to years of continued and unwavering attention to detail. Its 2.5 litre engine remains but has seen a wealth of revisions internally affording more power and higher revs. The most noticeable visual difference to the car is the prominent Formula Three style side mounted airbox which is coupled with the airscoop above the drivers head. A larger bore, but reduced stroke ensures the engine retains its displacement, but now redlines at 9,000rpm; 1,000rpm more than before with 37hp increase and an additional 16lb ft of torque. Fundamental components remain the same, the Hewland FTR sequential and steel wishbones for example, but many of the materials have changed. The R weighs 25kg less than a standard Mono and whilst that may sound minimal; when coupled with the engine revisions, its power to weight ratio jumps from 525hp/ton to 580bhp per ton. Wet. BAC have managed to reduce weight from the carbon ceramic brakes, shaving grams from the already lightweight carbon rotors. All of the body panels are new too, this time made from a lighter, stronger composite in the form of Graphene. The chassis too has been reanalysed to reduce weight whe
