Tesla BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Tesla just set a staggering new quarterly sales record with 497,099 global vehicle deliveries for Q3 2025, according to Automotive News and Teslarati, smashing Wall Street expectations as customers hustled to cash in on the federal $7,500 EV tax credit before its expiration at September’s end. The frenzy around the tax break reportedly juiced Tesla’s numbers by as much as 50,000 units above what might have been expected, though some analysts warn this is a temporary spike rather than a true resurgence in underlying demand. While the company basked in the headlines, the stock market served up a reality check: shares initially surged on the news, then tumbled 4.5% as investors and analysts questioned if this rebound is sustainable, citing persistent demand and product freshness concerns. Dan Ives of Wedbush called it a “blip,” and Telemetry Insight’s Sam Abuelsamid bluntly stated he doubts much has changed in how consumers view both Tesla and Elon Musk after months of controversy.
But there’s more fueling the Tesla rumor mill. Investors and fans are buzzing with speculation about a more affordable Tesla, spurred in part by sleuths who uncovered references in Tesla’s website code to a “Model Y Standard”–potentially a stripped-down crossover expected to start around $39,990, though Teslarati cautions this is unconfirmed and fan anticipation is mostly being fanned by online leaks and social media. Elon Musk’s history of teasing new models–and recently promising a mass-market EV for “everyone” by the end of 2025–means excitement is running high, though no official reveal has been scheduled yet.
Meanwhile, business headlines are also pivoting to Tesla’s other ambitions. There’s renewed investor focus on the company’s energy business after it reported a record 12.5 GWh of storage deployments, and hype continues to swirl about Tesla’s robotaxi platform and Optimus robots after a bumpy Austin pilot launch. Musk’s own role is as much in the spotlight as ever: his testy posts and political entanglements made news again, this time sparking both social media waves and consumer pushback. A viral post on X about British rule in India drew millions of views and a torrent of criticism, while Musk’s one-word “idiot” branding of himself on the same platform has been widely shared but taken in stride as self-deprecating banter. Through it all, speculation lingers about whether his attention will remain fixed on Tesla, with board members dangling a reported $1 trillion pay package if he hits ambitious targets. Upcoming: the full Q3 earnings call, slated for October 22, will give investors and fans a fuller picture of whether this quarter’s big delivery number is the start of a new Tesla chapter or just another twist in the company’s headline-grabbing saga.
