Tesla beat estimates for fourth-quarter deliveries on Tuesday after a push to hand over more Model 3 electric cars before some variants of the compact sedan lose federal tax credits in the New Year under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Rivian Automotive also reported quarterly deliveries on Tuesday, with the company missing market estimates.
