The electric luxury car maker announced it delivered 11,580 cars in the quarter, virtually of which were the Model S sedan. That's basically unchanged - up only 0.4% compared to the second quarter. But its sales jumped 49% above the same period a year earlier.
Unlike most other automakers, Tesla does not report monthly sales, only quarterly sales totals.

Buyers who got the first ones had been waiting as long as three years since placing their order for the SUV crossover with Falcon Wing rear doors.
