Tesla released its Q2 deliveries report on Tuesday, but the company's net income and cash flow results are yet to be announced.

By the numbers: Tesla produced 87,048 vehicles and delivered 95,200 vehicles in Q2. The company identifies these numbers as new records and says they are entering Q3 with an increase in their order backlog.

Flashback: Tesla swung to a bigger-than-expected profit loss in its first quarter this year, while revenue came up short. Its cash pile also shrunk by $1.5 billion in Q1.
