Tesla gets sales boost ahead of US EV incentive end
Tesla has reported global quarterly deliveries up 7% ahead of the expiry of a US tax credit applying to purchases of EVs.
Overall deliveries of Tesla cars for the quarter ended 30 September were 497,099 units (462,890 units, Q3: 2024), an increase of 7.4% on last year. Tesla doesn’t break out sales by world region, but with Europe and China sales for the company weak this year, the gain will have likely been based on strong US sales over the period.

Sales of EVs in the US have been sluggish through the course of the year, but there was an uplift as the US tax credit incentive applying to EVs came to an end (30 September 2025). The tax credit was ended as part of US President Donald Trump’s second-term first spending bill, passed in July.
However, Tesla also posted production figures for Q3 that were down 4.8% down on last year’s pace, at 447,450 units (Q3 2024: 469,796).
