Yes, the author of the report doesn’t include information about where the data is sourced, so its anyone’s guess. Perhaps there’s an explanation elsewhere on their website. At any rate, reservation data is one popular, accepted way to estimate vehicle sales, so these numbers might be reasonably accurate. Here is Electrek’s writeup on Experian’s Jan-April numbers, which are based off registrations.I’m not sure how accurate this report is though. For example Tesla doesn’t split model y sales from model 3, so those are just a guess, and they haven’t made any model X in 2021 so they definitely didn’t sell 6,098 of them in Q2

You can see Model 3 and Model Y numbers are indeed separated (which is easy to do with reservation data), and Model X isn’t zero. It doesn’t prove Cox’s data is accurate, obviously, but it isn’t impossible that they have it reasonably correct.
