Market rules
Criterion: total number of vehicles delivered (total deliveries) for Q3 2026 in Tesla's official production and delivery report (Production, Deliveries & Deployments). Threshold: strictly more than 460,000. "Yes" — if reported deliveries are more than 460,000; "No" — if equal to 460,000 or less. Source: press releases at ir.tesla.com/press. Benchmark: deliveries in Q2 2026 — 480,126; analyst consensus based on media reports — about 456,000. Edge cases: a number exactly 460,000 is interpreted as "No"; if the report is not published by October 8, 2026, the market is canceled.
