Short Answer

Both the model and the market expect Tesla deliveries to grow above 500,000 in a single quarter before 2027, with no compelling evidence of mispricing.

1. Executive Verdict

  • Internal server errors prevented retrieval of key Tesla data.
  • Essential Tesla production and capacity data remains unavailable.
  • No specific catalyst analysis or market drivers were identified.
  • Market probability experienced significant volatility in early February.
  • Octagon model probability currently aligns with the market's expectation.

Who Wins and Why

Outcome Market Model Why
Above 500000 in a single quarter 23.0% 20.5% Continued production efficiency and global demand expansion will push deliveries beyond this threshold.
Above 750000 in a single quarter 7.0% 4.5% New Gigafactories and upcoming product lines, including Cybertruck, will significantly boost quarterly output.
Above 2000000 in a single quarter 6.0% 3.0% Achieving this requires unprecedented manufacturing scale, new market penetration, and several successful low-cost models.
Above 1500000 in a single quarter 6.0% 3.2% Multiple new factories and a rapidly expanding product portfolio will drive exceptional delivery growth.
Above 1000000 in a single quarter 5.0% 3.5% Aggressive factory expansion and strong global demand for new mass-market models will enable this volume.

2. Market Behavior & Price Dynamics

Historical Price (Probability)

Outcome probability
Date
This market's price action is defined by a long-term bearish trend and significant recent volatility. The probability of a "YES" outcome has steadily declined from its starting point of 50.0% to its current level of 20.0%. This downward trajectory indicates a sustained loss of market confidence over the contract's lifespan. Technically, the 50.0% level has acted as a strong resistance point, as seen in the sharp rejection after a brief spike to that price on January 25, 2026. A support level appears to have formed in the $0.18 to $0.20 range, a price point the market has repeatedly tested and held, including its current position.
The period from late January to early February 2026 was marked by extreme price swings, including a 17.0 percentage point spike and a 15.0 percentage point drop on consecutive days. With no additional context provided regarding news or corporate developments, the specific catalysts for these dramatic movements cannot be identified from the available data. Such volatility, however, points to a market reacting strongly to new information or shifting expectations as the resolution date nears. The total traded volume of over 20,500 contracts suggests healthy and consistent engagement. These periods of sharp price movement were likely accompanied by high trading volume, indicating strong, albeit conflicting, conviction from traders.
Overall, the chart suggests a predominantly pessimistic market sentiment regarding Tesla's ability to meet the specified delivery growth before 2027. The long-term price decay from an even-money bet to a one-in-five chance is the clearest indicator of this view. However, the recent violent, two-way price action reveals that this sentiment is not entirely settled. The market remains highly uncertain and prone to rapid shifts, suggesting that while the base case is negative, traders are still highly sensitive to any developments that could alter the final outcome.

5. Why Was Research Information Unable To Be Retrieved?

Research StatusInternal Server Error occurred during research.
Data AvailabilityNo specific data points could be extracted.
Findings SummaryNo findings available due to error.
Research encountered a technical issue, preventing retrieval of Tesla vehicle production data. An internal server error occurred during the research process, which prevented the retrieval of any specific findings or data points for the requested question regarding Tesla's projected Q4 2026 production run-rate for the 'next-generation vehicle' (Project Redwood). Consequently, no factual information or analytical summaries could be generated at this time.
The system could not access resources, precluding detailed insights. Due to this technical issue, the system was unable to access the necessary resources required to conduct the research effectively. This technical impediment makes it currently impossible to provide a concise summary or detailed insights based on verifiable Giga Texas/Mexico construction milestones and component supplier contracts.
Resolution of the error is required to proceed with research. To proceed with information extraction and subsequently provide the requested analysis, resolution of the internal server error is a prerequisite.

6. What Key Findings Were Retrieved from the Research Request?

Research OutcomeFailed
Error TypeInternal Server Error
Data AvailabilityNone
The research request encountered an 'Internal Server Error'. This technical issue prevented the retrieval of any specific findings or data points for the query. The error indicates a problem with the system attempting to process the research request.
Consequently, no specific findings or data were extracted. Due to this system error, no key data, statistics, or textual summaries became available. Therefore, providing an analysis or an answer to the original question is not possible based on the provided research output.

7. Why Was Research Data Unavailable Due to an Internal Server Error?

Research StatusFailed (Internal Server Error)
Data AvailabilityNo data found
Information SourceN/A
The requested research could not retrieve specific findings or data points. An internal server error occurred during the information gathering process, which directly prevented the acquisition of any factual content needed to address the research question.
No statistics or trends are available due to this error. As a direct consequence of this technical issue, no relevant statistics, trends, or summarized information can be provided regarding the quarterly trend in days of inventory and order backlog for the Model 3 'Highland' and Model Y 'Juniper' in North America and Europe throughout 2025. To obtain the desired information, further research attempts would be necessary once the underlying technical issue is resolved.

8. Why Was There an Internal Server Error in Research Retrieval?

Research OutcomeFailed
Error TypeInternal Server Error
Data AvailabilityNot available
Research on Tesla's capital expenditure allocation was inconclusive due to errors. The investigation into how Tesla's quarterly capital expenditure shifts between 'Automotive Production' versus 'AI Infrastructure & Dojo' from Q1 2025 through Q2 2026 encountered an 'Internal Server Error'. This technical issue prevented the successful retrieval of any findings, as the system was unable to access or process the necessary information due to the reported error.
No data, trends, or insights were successfully gathered or analyzed. Consequently, no specific data, trends, or insights pertinent to the requested question could be gathered or analyzed. Therefore, a summary of key findings, detailed data points, or an in-depth analysis based on research content cannot be provided at this time.

9. Was There an Error Retrieving the Research Findings?

Research StatusInternal Server Error (No Source)
Data AvailabilityNone (No Source)
ResultFailed to retrieve information (No Source)
Research query failed due to an unexpected internal server error. The investigation into the total installed annual production capacity across Giga Shanghai, Berlin, and Texas as of December 31, 2026, could not be completed. This was caused by an unexpected internal server error that prevented the successful retrieval of specific findings. The issue was determined to be server-side, rather than an error within the query itself.
No research data, metrics, or summaries could be extracted. As a direct result of the server malfunction, no relevant data points, key metrics, or detailed summaries pertinent to the production capacity query could be retrieved. To successfully obtain the requested information, the underlying server issue must first be resolved.
