480,126 Reasons to Buy Tesla Stock Now for the Second Half of 2026

EV-making juggernaut Tesla (TSLA) has reported its second-quarter vehicle delivery and production numbers above expectations. The company delivered 480,126 vehicles during the quarter, representing a 25% year-over-year (YoY) increase, while analysts expected around 406,600 deliveries. Tesla produced 451,758 vehicles in Q2.

High oil prices were a tailwind for Tesla during the quarter. However, with oil prices returning to pre-war levels, the second half might not show blockbuster numbers.
