Tesla falls short: Tesla delivered 14,370 EVs in Q2 but falls 15 percent short of its target of 17,000 units as 9,745 Model S and 4,625 Model X made it to consumers with a remaining 5,150 still in transit. The delay is being blamed on the extreme production ramp. However, with just 18,345 electric vehicles produced in Fremont, Tesla has also missed its production guidance of 20,000 for the last quarter.
