  "account": "San José – Despite a slight decline in Tesla's vehicle deliveries in the previous quarter, the automaker still managed to surpass analysts' expectations, according to Bloomberg's financial data. The company delivered 486,532 electric vehicles, about 2% fewer than the prior year. Analysts had expected nearly 464,000 vehicles to be delivered, making Tesla's third-quarter performance impressive. The surge was attributed to the expiration of a special tax incentive worth $7,500 for buying electric vehicles, which ended in late September 2025. Many potential customers in the U.S. wanted to take advantage of the rebate during that period, resulting in a 7.4% increase in Tesla's deliveries compared to the previous quarter. However, this spike was followed by a decline seen in other manufacturers. Despite the setback, Tesla has managed to expand its production recently, with CEO Elon Musk announcing a focus on self-driving taxis and humanoid robots. Currently, however, the majority of the company's revenue still comes from automobile sales. Musk stated, \"When in the U.S. says 'Go',\" – the expansion of Tesla's operations in Grünheide remains open.",
