There was a lot to like in Tesla Inc.’s latest quarterly numbers.
The carmaker delivered roughly 18,000 more vehicles than analysts were expecting, and over 43,000 more than in any previous quarter. It produced more than 920,500 cars in the first half, well on track to meet its forecast for around 1.8 million this year.
