Tesla delivers record 466,140 vehicles globally in Q2
Tesla Model 3 and Model Y delivered 446,915 units worldwide in the second quarter, beating market expectations of 437,400 and contributing 96 percent of deliveries.
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) saw another record quarter of deliveries.
The US electric vehicle (EV) giant delivered 466,140 vehicles worldwide in the second quarter, up 83.02 percent year-on-year and up 10.23 percent from 422,875 in the first quarter, according to its overnight announcement.
It was also a new record for Tesla's EV deliveries and higher than the 448,400 units Wall Street analysts had expected.
Tesla's cheaper Model 3 and Model Y delivered 446,915 units worldwide in the second quarter, above market expectations of 437,400 units, contributing 96 percent of deliveries. A total of 19,255 Model S and Model X units were delivered, above expectations of 14,600 units.
Tesla produced 479,700 vehicles in the second quarter, including 460,211 Model 3 and Model Y, and 19,489 Model S with Model X.
Tesla's production and delivery gap was 13,560 units in the second quarter, down from 18,000 units in the previous quarter.
Tesla cut prices globally earlier this year, and its starting price for the Model 3 sedan came to an all-time low after it cut prices in China on January 6.
In early May, the company raised the prices of all Model 3s and Model Ys in China, all by 2,000 yuan ($275), an increase of less than 1 percent. The move was thought to be more aimed at dampening consumers' wait-and-see sentiment at the time.
In China, Tesla has a factory in Shanghai that produces the Model 3 and Model Y. It's the largest Tesla factory in the world, with an annual capacity of about 1.1 million units a year.
Tesla does not officially announce its deliveries in China, though the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) publishes those numbers every month.
Tesla's retail sales in China in April and May were 39,956 and 42,508, respectively, and its Shanghai plant exported 35,886 and 35,187 units in the two months, according to the CPCA.
The company's June sales figures in China are expected to be available in a few days.
BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY), one of Tesla's main competitors in China, delivered 703,561 new energy vehicles (NEVs) in the second quarter, including 700,244 passenger cars and 3,317 commercial vehicles, according to data released yesterday.

Nio (NYSE: NIO) has ended beta testing of NOP (Navigate on Pilot) Plus, its assisted driving software, and started accepting paid subscriptions as planned.
Along with the release of Nio OS Banyan 2.0.0, NOP+ Beta will be upgraded to the official version, the electric vehicle (EV) maker announced today.
Starting July 1, NOP+ will start accepting subscriptions at RMB 380 ($52) per month, and free access benefits for new car buyers will be handed out at the same time, Nio said.
As of June 30, NOP+ Beta has been in a free trial for 185 days and has accumulated 42.86 million kilometers, adding 2.1 million kilometers per week, the company said.
More than 52,000 users participated in the NOP+ Beta trial, and the software achieved rapid iterative updates, it said.
On the official version of NOP+, Nio brought a new BEV (Bird's Eye View) and occupancy network perception model and switched to the same technology stack as NAD (Nio Autonomous Driving), it said.
The BEV perception architecture can display richer information including dynamic models, road elements, vehicle taillights, and turn signals, allowing assisted driving to reduce the frequency of degradation by 80 percent, resulting in a smoother NOP+ experience, Nio said.
In the second half of 2023, NOP+ will be extended to cover battery swap scenarios in highway service areas, and gradually cover battery swap stations in highway service areas nationwide, it said.
In the future, Nio will continue to optimize the assisted driving experience based on BEV and occupancy network awareness model, it said.
NOP+ will be pushed to vehicles with the Banyan 2.0.0 CN release, and users who do not receive the push in time will get 1 month of free access, Nio said.
The new ES6 already comes with Banyan version 2.0.1 CN software, and the ET5 Touring and new ES8 come with Banyan 2.0.0 CN on delivery, it said.
Nio announced on April 10 that customers who purchase ET7, ES7, EC7 and ET5 customers before June 1, and the new ES8 before August 1, will receive 2 years of free access to NOP+.
Customers who have previously purchased Nio Pilot software will receive at least 5 years of free NOP+ access if they purchase a new model of Nio's Banyan-based system again, Nio said at the time.
On May 31, Nio announced that all customers who purchase a new Nio vehicle will receive 1 year of free use of NOP+, with an expiration date for the benefit to be announced in the future.

Leapmotor delivers record 13,209 vehicles in Jun as pivot to EREVs seems to be paying off
In June, Leapmotor's flagship C-series model delivered more than 11,600 units, contributing more than 87 percent of total deliveries.
Leapmotor delivered a record number of vehicles last month, as the company's move to add extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) offerings appears to have worked to boost sales.
The company delivered 13,209 vehicles in June, surpassing the previous record of 12,525 vehicles last August, according to figures released today.
That's up 17.32 percent from 11,259 units a year ago and up 9.55 percent from 12,058 units in May.
Leapmotor delivered 33,993 vehicles in the second quarter, up 11.76 percent year-on-year and up 223.47 percent from the first quarter.
In the first half of the year, the company delivered 44,502 vehicles, down 14.41 percent from 51,994 in the same period last year.
By the end of June, Leapmotor had delivered 206,171 vehicles since its inception, according to data monitored by CnEVPost.
In June, Leapmotor's flagship C-series model delivered more than 11,600 units, contributing more than 87 percent of total deliveries, the company said today.
Of the total, more than 8,900 units of the flagship SUV model, the C11 series, were delivered, it said.
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Zhejiang, Leapmotor's models on sale include the mini vehicle T03, the coupe model S01, the flagship SUV C11, and the flagship sedan C01.
Leapmotor has been seen as a budget EV maker for the past few years, with sales mainly contributed by the inexpensive T03, which currently has a starting price range of RMB 59,900 ($8,260) to RMB 89,900.
The C11, which went on sale September 29, 2021, and the C01, which went on sale September 28, 2022, are Leapmotor's flagship models, targeting the RMB 150,000 to RMB 300,000 range.

Deliveries of Leapmotor declined significantly starting in the fourth quarter of last year, falling to 1,139 units by January of this year, the lowest since March 2021.
To reverse the sales decline, Leapmotor announced plans last year to release an EREV model to target the market for larger plug-in hybrids. All of Leapmotor's previous models were battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
On March 1, Leapmotor officially launched the C11 EREV and offered 2023 models for the previously available BEVs, allowing for lower starting prices. Deliveries of the C11 EREV began in March.
Leapmotor will release an EREV variant of its flagship sedan, the C01, in July-August of this year, the company's founder, chairman and CEO Zhu Jiangming said previously.
Starting with the B-series models, all future new Leapmotor models will be offered in both BEV as well as EREV versions, Zhu said.
In late March, Leapmotor management said the company was targeting 200,000 units in 2023, nearly double the number of units sold in 2022.
Leapmotor delivered 111,168 vehicles in 2022, up 157.80 percent from 43,121 in 2021.
