The market resolves to Yes if Tesla delivers more than 500,000 vehicles in any single quarter between Q1 2025 and Q4 2026. It resolves to No if the company fails to hit this delivery threshold within that specific timeframe. Readers often mistake the start date for Q1 2024 or assume the deadline extends beyond Q4 2026.
- Above 480000 — resolved “Yes” on 2 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Tesla reports more than 480,000 total vehicle deliveries for the third quarter of 2026.
