Tesla tops delivery forecast with 486,532 cars, shares up over 5%

Tesla handed over 486,532 cars in Q3 2026, topping the average Wall Street forecast of about 461,100, per Quartz. It built over 464,000 cars, per Tesla. Shares rose over 5% on October 2, per Forbes. I’m cautious: those sales count cars shipped, not profit. Discounts and profit per car decide what savers really own.
