Tesla Motors (TSLA - Free Report) reported record deliveries for second-quarter 2021. The company delivered a record 201,250 (199,360 Model 3 and Y, and 1,890 Model S and X) vehicles. Deliveries were up 121%, the highest growth rate in two years, from the year-ago quarter and an acceleration from the 109% year-over-year growth reported in Q1. In fact, Tesla logged its best quarter of deliveries ever.
The electric carmaker produced 206,421 (204,081 Model 3 and Y, and 2,340 Model S and X) vehicles during the quarter.
With Q2 deliveries, Tesla has delivered a total of 386,050 cars so far in 2021. Tesla did not announce an official guidance for this year but stated in its Q1 Update Letter that it expects “to achieve 50% average annual growth in vehicle deliveries in the coming years.” The ramp-up of production at Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory, which began delivering vehicles to customers in China in January last year, and its forthcoming facilities in Berlin and Texas are likely to help it in achieving this goal. Both in-progress Gigafactories in Berlin and Texas are on track to begin production and deliveries this year. Also, Tesla Semi deliveries will begin later in 2021.
Tesla has been lagging the current market rally, having gained just 2.6% over the past three months. It has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and Growth Score of A. It also belongs to a top-ranked Zacks industry (in the top 27%). All these suggest a good time for the stock in the coming months, making the beaten down price compelling for investors (read: 4 Top-Ranked ETFs to Buy for Second Half of 2021).
