Tesla Delivers 11,500 Electric Cars Globally From April Through June, It Says

Keeping to its promise of releasing quarterly global sales totals in a timely fashion, Tesla Motors announced its second-quarter delivery totals this morning.

According to the Silicon Valley carmaker, it delivered 11,507 Model S luxury electric cars from April 1 through June 30.

That is its highest quarterly total thus far, and brings Tesla's global deliveries for the first half of 2015 to 21,537 cars.

Tesla's release, in its entirety, reads:

Today Tesla Motors announced 11,507 Model S deliveries for Q2-2015.

This was a new company record for the most cars delivered in a quarter and represents an approximate 52-percent increase over Q2 last year.

There may be small changes to this delivery count (usually well under 1 percent), as Tesla only counts a delivery if it is transferred to the end customer and all paperwork is correct.

Also, this is only one measure of our financial performance and should not be relied on as an indicator of our quarterly financial results, which depend on a variety of factors, including the cost of sales, foreign exchange movements and mix of directly leased vehicles.
