Tesla Inc. (TSLA) posted a company-compiled Q4 2025 delivery consensus on Dec. 30, 2025, showing analyst estimates that imply a sequential drop from Q3 and a second annual delivery decline for 2025. The company said it does not endorse the figures.
Delivery Consensus and Full-Year Outlook
The Tesla investor-relations site listed a Q4 2025 mean delivery estimate of 422,850 vehicles, a median of 420,399, and a standard deviation of 21,959, based on 20 sell-side analyst estimates. The consensus breaks down to a Q4 mean of 388,002 vehicles for the Model 3/Y and 34,848 for all other models. For full-year 2025, the mean delivery estimate is 1,640,752 vehicles, with 1,509,460 for Model 3/Y and 131,292 for other models.
Tesla’s actual deliveries in Q3 2025 totaled 497,099 vehicles, with 481,166 Model 3/Y and 15,933 other models. The Q4 consensus thus implies a sequential decline from Q3 and about a 15.0% drop from Q4 2024 levels. Secondary analysis attributes the 2025 annual decline in part to a pull-forward in demand linked to the expiration of the U.S. federal tax credit at the end of Q3 2025. The posting also included a line for energy storage deployments, showing a Q4 mean of 13.4 gigawatt-hours.
The multi-year consensus projects mean deliveries of 1,750,243 vehicles in 2026 and 2,010,459 in 2027.
Analyst Response and Company Guidance
The posting included a company disclaimer stating, "Tesla does not endorse any information, recommendations or conclusions made by the analysts." Baird maintained a bullish TSLA price target of $548, citing a pipeline of catalysts over the next two years. Other analysts trimmed growth forecasts ahead of Tesla’s official delivery report.
Tesla said it expects to release its official Q4 2025 delivery report in early January 2026, which will include company-verified totals.
