โช Q2 2026 consensus: 406,024
โช Sequential increase: 48,001 vehicles
โช Quarter-over-quarter growth: +13.4%
1. Model 3/Y Is Driving the Recovery
โช Model 3/Y deliveries: 392,625
โช All other models: 12,978
โช Model 3/Y share of total deliveries: 96.7%
โช All other modelsโ share: 3.2%
Model 3/Y deliveries are expected to rise from 341,893 in Q1 to 392,625 in Q2.
โช Sequential increase: 50,732 vehicles
โช Quarter-over-quarter growth: +14.8%
All other model deliveries are expected to decline from 16,130 to 12,978.
โช Sequential decline: 3,152 vehicles
โช Quarter-over-quarter change: -19.5%
Teslaโs expected Q2 recovery is being driven almost entirely by Model 3 and Model Y.
2. The Median Estimate Is Higher Than the Average
โช Average consensus: 406,024
โช Median estimate: 408,609
โช Standard deviation: 14,922
โช Number of estimates: 22
The median is 2,585 vehicles higher than the average, suggesting that several lower forecasts are pulling down the overall consensus.
3. A Stronger Second Half Is Required
โช Full-year 2026 consensus: 1,654,808
โช Expected first-half deliveries: 764,047
โช Deliveries required in the second half: 890,761
โช Average required per quarter in Q3 and Q4: 445,381
Tesla would need to average approximately 445,000 deliveries per quarter during the second half.
โช Increase required versus Q2 consensus: 39,357 vehicles per quarter
โช Required growth versus Q2: approximately +9.7%
The Q2 recovery alone would not be sufficient. Tesla would need another meaningful acceleration in Q3 and Q4.

โช 2028: 2,065,389
โช 2029: 2,365,715
โช 2030: 2,649,054
The implied compound annual growth rate from 2026 through 2030 is approximately 12.5%.
However, uncertainty increases significantly over the longer term.
โช 2026 standard deviation: 65,814
โช 2028 standard deviation: 379,522
โช 2030 standard deviation: 760,060
5. Tesla Energy Is Expected to Grow Much Faster
โช Q1 2026 actual deployment: 8.8 GWh
โช Q2 2026 consensus: 13.8 GWh
โช Sequential increase: 5.0 GWh
โช Quarter-over-quarter growth: +56.8%
The full-year 2026 energy deployment consensus stands at 57.9 GWh.
โช Expected first-half deployment: 22.6 GWh
โช Required second-half deployment: 35.3 GWh
โช Average required per quarter in Q3 and Q4: 17.65 GWh
Long-term energy storage estimates:
โช 2027: 79.8 GWh
โช 2028: 99.9 GWh
โช 2029: 122.1 GWh
โช 2030: 150.1 GWh
The implied compound annual growth rate from 2026 through 2030 is approximately 26.9%.
Key Takeaway
Teslaโs vehicle deliveries are expected to recover to approximately 406,000 units in Q2, led almost entirely by Model 3 and Model Y.
However, reaching the full-year consensus of 1.65 million vehicles would require quarterly deliveries to increase to approximately 445,000 units during the second half.
Tesla Energy remains the stronger structural growth segment, with Q2 deployments expected to increase nearly 57% sequentially and long-term deployments projected to grow at approximately 27% annually.
Tesla has just released their company compiled Q2 analyst delivery consensus.
Analysts expect @Tesla to deliver 406,000 vehicles in Q2 2026, and deploy 13.8 GWh of energy storage this quarter.
๐จ BREAKING
Germany has officially confirmed that Tesla FSD Supervised is progressing through the European approval process.
Key points from the German governmentโs response:
โข RDW officially informed the European Commission and all EU member states on May 5, 2026
โข The complete approval dossier has been submitted
โข A TCMV vote on FSD Supervised is planned
โข A positive vote would allow RDW to issue an EU-wide type approval
โข Germany is currently evaluating the dossier through the KBA
Notably, Germany describes its approach as โtechnology-open and safety-orientedโ and does not mention any objections to the system.
This is one of the strongest official signals yet that Tesla FSD Supervised is moving closer to approval across Europe.
@FSDWatcherDE thnx for effort bro
As we approach the end of the quarter, Tesla is once again leading BEV sales in Europe's daily reporting markets. ๐ช๐บ
These markets represent approximately 60% of European sales, including countries that are not particularly favorable to Tesla.
The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) just announced that it is evaluating whether to approve Teslaโs FSD in Finland ๐ฅ
The agency noted that it will participate in the EU-level approval process, consult with Tesla and other stakeholders, and thoroughly assess the safety of the system ๐ฅ
Traficom is using a provisional type-approval issued by the Netherlands (RDW) back in April as their baseline, but they are applying a strict local lens:
โ While the agency acknowledges FSD's potential to reduce human-error accidents, they are explicitly focusing on how the system handles Finnish road conditionsโspecifically icy roads, heavy snow, and faded or obscured lane markings.
โ The agency stressed that this is strictly a driver-assistance system. Drivers must remain entirely attentive and ready to take over at any split second.
โ If approved, the software will initially roll out to roughly 6,500 newer-generation Tesla models already on the road in Finland.
