GM Reports 8% Q3 US Sales, EV Delivery Record

General Motors said U.S. third-quarter vehicle sales rose 8% year-over-year, setting a Q3 battery-electric vehicle delivery record of 66,501 and lifting year-to-date EV deliveries to 144,668 (up 105%), as buyers sought the $7,500 federal tax credit. GM's crossovers/SUVs and fleet business posted record Q3 results and its year-to-date U.S. sales climbed 10% to about 2.2 million units. Ford reported U.S. Q3 sales up 8.2% to 545,522 vehicles and Jan–Sept sales up 7.2% to about 1.66 million. Ford recorded a quarterly record for electrified vehicles of roughly 85,789 units (up ~19.8%), led by a 50.7% surge for the Mustang Mach‑E, while F‑Series surpassed 600,000 trucks year-to-date and SUVs like the Expedition and Bronco hit multi-year highs. Both automakers said broad demand across internal‑combustion and electric lineups, disciplined pricing and low incentives are supporting gains as buyers shift into EVs and crossovers.
