Tesla’s second quarter 2026 earnings webcast highlights record global vehicle deliveries, with the Model Y emerging as the world's best-selling car. FSD (Full Self-Driving) adoption serves as a primary demand driver, with 55% of North American deliveries featuring enabled subscriptions. The company is aggressively scaling its Robotaxi fleet, achieving over 380,000 unsupervised miles across six markets with an impeccable safety record.
