Tesla stock ticks up after Q4 deliveries miss estimates as 2026 trading begins

Tesla stock today: TSLA slips after Q4 deliveries drop, earnings date set

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 09:32 ET — Regular session Tesla Inc (TSLA) shares slipped about 1% in early New York trading on Friday after the company reported a drop in fourth-quarter vehicle deliveries.

The quarterly figure is often the first hard read on demand for its core auto business as the new year gets underway. The update matters now because Tesla’s valuation still leans heavily on expectations of growth, even as investors
