Tesla is expected to deliver about 233000 electric vehicles in the third quarter. In addition, Credit Suisse is expected to deliver 225000 to 230000 vehicles.
This expectation is about 65% to 67% higher than Tesla's delivery in the same period last year. According to data provider visible alpha, as of Monday local time, analysts on average expected Tesla to deliver 222700 electric vehicles in the third quarter.
These analysts also pointed out that the global semiconductor shortage may have less impact on Tesla. As we all know, the global semiconductor shortage has paralyzed many automobile manufacturers around the world.
"Tesla seems less affected by the shortage of chips than other carmakers," Credit Suisse analyst Dan Levy said in a report Levy said that Tesla "fast steering" the new microcontroller and wrote its own vehicle software.
Piper Sandler analyst Alexander Potter even believes that the third quarter may be the "strongest" quarter in Tesla's history. He pointed out that electric vehicles are increasingly used in Europe and China, and Tesla's market share is also rising.

Credit Suisse analyst Li said that China's role as Tesla's global export source is increasing. Its Shanghai plant may have exported about 55000 vehicles from July to August, up from about 30000 in the second quarter.
