While Tesla's recent deliveries didn't quite meet Wall Street's estimates, the US EV maker had yet another solid quarter. Production was on par with many people's guesses, but the automaker was unable to deliver every last car before the quarter came to a close. Now, Q4 2022 is underway, and, as expected, we're seeing reports of a massive number of Tesla's EVs already at port for export from China.
As we've explained in the past, early in each quarter, Tesla focuses most of its efforts on exports, as well as deliveries that are the furthest from each of its factories. Once the quarter nears its end, the automaker switches to filling local orders.
