Tesla shares closed near $370–372 in early October 2026 after surging 4.7% on October 2 following Q3 deliveries of 486,532 vehicles, above consensus estimates of roughly 461,000. The beat reflected stronger-than-expected demand outside the U.S. and China, alongside 13.7 GWh in energy storage deployments, though year-over-year deliveries still declined modestly. With the stock trading well below its December 2025 high near $499 and a forward P/E exceeding 160x, trader focus centers on margin trends and robotaxi progress ahead of Q3 earnings, slated for release around October 21–28. Broader equity volatility and macroeconomic data releases during the week of October 5, including ISM services PMI and consumer credit figures, add to positioning uncertainty as markets assess whether the delivery momentum can sustain near-term price levels.
