No, they missed the Model 3 delivery goals.
Tesla delivered 220 of the 1500 Tesla Model 3 cars promised in Q3 2017. This sucks, sure, but remember this is a brand new car requiring new techniques on the assembly line, etc. As Musk put it, "we're building the machine to build the machine".
In the same quarter, Tesla delivered 25,930 Model S's and Model X's.
Their total deliveries for Q1 and Q2 2017 is 47,077, and they are expecting to have delivered over 100,000 cars by the end of the year which if they do, will mean the increased their sales by 31% over 2016. That's really impressive.
Peace.
