TESLA Motors Inc delivered 24,500 vehicles in the third quarter, topping analysts' estimates, after chief executive officer Elon Musk implored employees to boost sales during the period ahead of a plan to raise more capital.

The maker of electric cars and energy storage devices shipped about 15,800 Model S sedans and 8,700 Model X sport-utility vehicles, Palo Alto, California-based Tesla said in a statement on Sunday.
