Tesla gets sales boost ahead of US EV incentive end

Group 1 - Tesla reported global quarterly deliveries of 497,099 units for the quarter ended 30 September, marking a 7.4% increase compared to the same period last year [1] - The increase in deliveries is likely attributed to strong sales in the US, as sales in Europe and China have been weak this year [1] - The US tax credit for EV purchases, which ended on 30 September 2025, contributed to a boost in sales as consumers rushed to take advantage of the incentive before its expiration [2] Group 2 - Tesla's production figures for Q3 were down 4.8% year-over-year, totaling 447,450 units compared to 469,796 units in Q3 2024 [2] - The sluggish sales of EVs in the US throughout the year were noted, but there was a notable uplift in sales as the tax credit incentive came to an end [2]
