In the second quarter, Tesla sold 21,551 units of Model S, X, and Cybertruck cumulatively, accounting for merely 5% of the company’s overall global deliveries. 95% of Tesla’s deliveries are of its mass-market offerings- Model 3 sedan and the Model Y SUV.
The company delivered 443,956 vehicles in the second quarter worldwide, marking a 4.8% drop from last year.
