3 prediction markets price this story:
- Above 1.9 million — the market puts it at 31%, closing 31 Mar 2028. The market resolves to "Yes" if Tesla Inc. reports a total production figure above 1,900,000 units in 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to "No." Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of 2025 or assume any reported number counts, but only Tesla's official report for the full year of 2026 matters.
- Above 1.75 million — the market puts it at 94%, closing 31 Mar 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Tesla reports more than 1,750,000 total vehicle deliveries during the entire year of 2026. It resolves to No if that number is 1,750,000 or fewer. Readers often mistake the start of production for the delivery count.
- Above 300,000 — the market puts it at 93%, closing 31 Jul 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Tesla reports more than 300,000 total vehicle deliveries during the first quarter of 2027. It resolves to No if that number is 300,000 or fewer. Readers often mistake the reporting deadline for the actual delivery period.
