In the lead-up to the Q4 2024 Earnings Call on January 29th, Tesla has released its Q4 2024 production and delivery numbers. This wraps up 2024, and while Tesla finished with a strong Q4, the total deliveries are slightly below the previous year.

Q4 2024
For Q4, Tesla produced 459,445 vehicles and delivered 495,570 vehicles to its customers globally. For comparison, in Q3, Tesla produced about 10,000 more vehicles than in Q4, but Q4 deliveries were about 30,000 higher.
As usual, the Model 3 and Model Y accounted for the majority of sales, 436,718 vehicles produced and 471,930 vehicles deliveed. The Cybertruck, Model S, and Model X are lumped in as “Other Models” - totaling 22,727 produced and 23,640 delivered this quarter. This is about 700 more than the previous quarter. With Cybertruck production ramping up and sales expanding to Canada, this likely means dwindlingly for the Model S and Model X.
While production was relatively stagnant, Tesla experienced a fairly large growth in deliveries, likely due to the recent end-of-year and end-of-quarter sales push, which included the updated referral program and inventory vehicle price cuts.
It also seems like some demand has been tempered, as many people await the arrival of the refreshed Model Y Juniper, which is rumored to arrive in China as early as later this month.
Q4 2024 Breakdown
Model | Production | Deliveries |
|---|---|---|
Model 3/Y | 436,718 | 471,930 |
Other Models (Including CT) | 22,727 | 23,640 |
Total | 459,445 | 495,570 |
2024 Annual Breakdown
Model | Production | Deliveries |
|---|---|---|
Model 3/Y | 1,679,338 | 1,704,093 |
Other Models (Including CT) | 94,105 | 85,133 |
Total | 1,773,443 | 1,789,226 |
Year over year, Tesla produced and delivered slightly fewer Model 3 and Model Y vehicles than in 2023, but they did produce and deliver more of their Other Models - which includes the Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck.
It seems that Cybertruck has made a significant impact in the sales of the other models category, and given that it has already become profitable, this is fantastic news for Tesla. On the flip side, this does look like it means weaker sales for the Model S and Model X, which both seem in dire need of a refresh.

7 Millionth Vehicle
During this past quarter, Tesla also hit a huge milestone by delivering their seven millionth vehicle. Tesla is delivering about 1.8 million vehicles per year, so we expect Tesla to also sell their eight millionth vehicle around mid-year and potentially their nine millionth later this year. With the Model Y being the world’s best-selling vehicle, it’s expected to have a huge surge in sales when the refreshed model is finally released.
Tesla Energy
Over on the Tesla energy side, Tesla deployed 11GWh of energy storage - a record for both deliveries and deployments. That is a 243% year-over-year increase since last year - and Mega Shanghai isn’t even operational yet. In total, Tesla deployed 31.4 GWh of energy storage throughout 2024.
