Tesla reported a 7.4% increase in sales for the third quarter, with a total of 497,099 vehicles sold. This surge is attributed to increased demand in the United States as buyers sought to take advantage of expiring electric vehicle tax credits.

The company delivered 481,166 units of its Model 3 compact sedan and Model Y crossover during the quarter, surpassing Wall Street expectations.

The expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit on electric vehicles is anticipated to impact future sales. Tesla's full-year delivery projection stands at 1.61 million vehicles, requiring 389,498 deliveries in the fourth quarter to achieve this target.

In China, Tesla commenced deliveries of the Model Y L, a long-wheelbase, six-seat variant, in September, aimed at boosting demand in the region.

Meanwhile, in Europe, Tesla faced challenges as sales declined by 22.5% in August compared to the previous year, reducing its market share to 1.5%.

Tesla has postponed the release of a lower-cost Model Y in the US, with plans to manufacture this variant in China and Europe. The new model is expected to be approximately 20% cheaper to produce and could achieve an annual production scale of 250,000 units in the US by 2026.

Tesla is focusing on expanding its portfolio with more affordable models to mitigate potential sales slowdowns following the tax credit expiration. The company's strategic initiatives include advancing AI-based self-driving systems, robotaxis, and humanoid robots.

As of 11:30 am in New York (15:30 GMT), Tesla's stock was down 1.3%. The company has proposed a shareholder vote on a new CEO compensation package that could grant Elon Musk approximately 12% of the company, contingent on performance and valuation targets.
