Tesla’s global sales shot up 25% in the second quarter, a sign that the company may be turning a corner. The company posted deliveries of more than 480,000 in the three months to the end of June, up from a little over 384,000 during the same period in 2025.
European Sales Surge
Data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association showed Tesla sales surged 77% during the first five months of the year. This recovery in Europe was likely helped by a boost to demand for electric vehicles from higher pump prices, government EV incentives, and an easing of a consumer backlash to Elon Musk’s politics.
Tesla’s results – which came in above expectations – indicate the company may be recovering after two straight years of annual sales drops and the removal of EV tax credits in the US. Analysts at Deutsche Bank forecasted deliveries at 416,000 for the quarter, saying that it expected international sales to do “the heavy lifting, with Europe acting as the standout driver.”
