Tesla Delivered 22K More Cars Than It Built — How Far Can This Rally Run?
Tesla's Q3 deliveries beat expectations and ran 22,141 units above production — it sold more than it built. The stock closed +4.65% at $370.59 Friday and is on pace for its first annual delivery growth since 2023. It's still -17.60% YTD vs the S&P 500's +12.81%. Bulls read the beat plus the inventory drawdown as real demand, not channel stuffing; bears note most of the decline is multiple compression, not falling sales, so deliveries alone may not restore it. How would you score this rebound?
