The preliminary fourth-quarter deliveries number would give Tesla an annual total of 50,580, though the final numbers released in quarterly reports tend to be slightly different — last quarter, Tesla reported 11,580 deliveries immediately after the quarter ended, for example, and 11,600 in its quarterly earnings report. “There may be small changes to this delivery count (usually well under 1%), as Tesla only counts a delivery if it is transferred to the end customer and all paperwork is correct,” Tesla noted in its announcement.
That total would push into the lower end of Tesla’s latest annual guidance of 50,000 to 52,000 cars, a goal that has slipped throughout the year. Chief Executive Elon Musk first predicted delivery of 55,000 cars at the beginning of the year, but pulled that down to a range of 50,000-to-55,000 after the first half of the year and then 50,000-to-52,000 after the third quarter.
They easily could have said: "Tesla increased its deliveries an amazing 47% over the 3rd Quarter."
Another thing not mentioned is the delivery of the 100000th Model S. I get a total of 107k now after the Q4 2015 results so the 100000th Model S came in November possibly. I think this is a great milestone and cements Tesla as a mainstream manufacturer.
Wondering where my S is in that number. My VIN ends in 083025. Perchance does that mean mine is the 83,025th S made?
Some perspective... Porsche delivered 190k cars in 2014.
Tesla needs to match something like that to be taken seriously.
At least 200k cars / yr and US$ 20 billion in yearly sales.
Tesla is only the 2nd post-WWII independent Am. automotive manufacturer to sell over 100,000 vehicles, and the only one to do so entirely with BEVs.
That's enough of an accomplishment to be taken seriously.
Q4 Model S deliveries were approximately 48% more than our prior quarterly record and approximately 75% more than Q4 last year. Model X deliveries are in line with the very early stages of our Model X production ramp as we prioritize quality above all else. That ramp has been increasing exponentially, with the daily production rate in the last week of the year tracking to production of 238 Model X vehicles per week.
There may be small changes to this delivery count (usually well under 1%), as Tesla only counts a delivery if it is transferred to the end customer and all paperwork is correct.Our vehicle deliveries represent only one measure of our financial performance and should not be relied on as an indicator of our quarterly financial results, which depend on a variety of factors, including the cost of sales, foreign exchange movements and mix of directly leased vehicles.
Tesla will be taken seriously when the anti Tesla camp is mostly silenced.
Tesla is already being taken seriously by the major automakers and the media. The automakers try to marginalize any influence by Tesla publicly but it is very obvious they do feel a need to respond.Tesla will be taken seriously when the anti Tesla camp is mostly silenced.

I do however think its just a matter of 3-4 years to get there...
Ummm...that is correct about the BEV part, but have you forgotten Kaiser-Frazer
