On Saturday, Tesla reported quarterly deliveries of 254,695, down from 310,048 in the primary three months of the 12 months. The information got here as no nice shock given the pandemic-related shutdowns that affected its Shanghai manufacturing unit in April and May. The remaining tally was barely beneath consensus expectations of 264,000, based on FactSet.
