Tesla sold more cars than expected, and its share price jumped

Tesla delivered 486,532 cars in July to September 2026, more than the roughly 461,100 experts predicted, per Quartz. It made over 464,000 cars, per Tesla. Its stock price rose over 5% on October 2, per Forbes. I’m cautious: shipping more cars is like serving more tables — it doesn’t prove profit after discounts for savers.
