Tesla delivers 486,532 vehicles in Q3 2026, its best quarter post federal EV credits expiry.

Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in Q3 2026, marking its third-best quarter ever and the strongest since U.S. federal clean vehicle credits ended. The rise in fuel prices due to the Hormuz crisis likely replaced some of the lost $7,500 credit incentive, boosting demand. Each Tesla vehicle acts as a platform for future Full Self-Driving (FSD) software sales, with about 1.48 million active users currently. Approval of FSD in 16 markets and a potential EU-wide vote in December could further drive Tesla's software revenue, supporting its valuation near $1.43 trillion.

Tesla shares trade at USD 354.72 on Pluang as of Oct 17, 2026 19:41 WIB, down 2.13% for the day. The stock holds a market cap of $1.40 trillion, close to the article's valuation mention. Trading volume on Pluang is robust at over 61 million shares, reflecting active investor interest amid Tesla's evolving business prospects.
