Tesla shares jump over 5% after 486,532 Q3 deliveries beat forecasts

Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in Q3 2026, above Wall Street consensus of around 461,100, per Quartz. Production was over 464,000, per Tesla. Shares rose over 5% on October 2, per Forbes. I'm cautious: deliveries show volume, not profit — price cuts and margins still decide what savers actually own.
