Tesla delivered a record-setting number of vehicles during its second quarter of 2015 that ended in June, the company disclosed Thursday in a regulatory filing.
Palo Alto-based Tesla said it delivered 11,507 vehicles during the April-through-June period, according to an official company filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This was a new company record for the most cars delivered in a quarter, Tesla said Thursday in the SEC filing.
The delivery levels represent a roughly 52 percent increase in deliveries compared with the year-ago second quarter, the maker of electric vehicles said.
There may be small changes to this delivery count (usually well under 1%), as Tesla only counts a delivery if it is transferred to the end customer and all paperwork is correct, Tesla said.
Tesla cautioned that the delivery levels are only one measure of its financial performance and should not be relied on as a signal for its financial results for the second quarter.
Over the 12 months that ended in March, Tesla lost $398.2 million on revenue of $3.52 billion, according to figures posted at the Yahoo Finance site.
The cost of sales, foreign exchange movements and mix of directly leased vehicles are among the array of factors affecting quarterly results, Tesla said.
Tesla opened its new showroom in Palo Alto, Calif., Saturday morning Oct. 12, 2013, featuring a prototype Model X, with its signature falcon-doors swung wide open. The vehicle is on display through Tuesday, and orders are being taken for delivery some time next year. (Karl Mondon/Bay Area News Group)
