TSLA
Germany says “more cars, please”
Tesla is reportedly cranking up production at its Gruenheide factory in Germany, with plans to build as many as 7,500 vehicles a week. That plant isn’t just some sleepy side project — it helps supply Germany and dozens of other European markets, which makes it a pretty big lever in Tesla’s global game plan.
The earnings drip before the earnings drop
The company is heading into its quarterly results with a mixed vibe: deliveries in Q2 climbed to 480,126 vehicles after a sluggish first quarter, and production also ticked up. That’s the kind of data point bulls love to wave around when the stock is acting like it forgot how to climb stairs.
The market is still side-eyeing the stock
Even with the operational bounce, TSLA shares have fallen nearly 25% from their December peak and are sitting below the 200-day moving average. Analysts are still talking up a rebound — Morgan Stanley slapped a $417 target on the name — but the real question is whether earnings can turn “maybe” into “fine, we’ll bite.”
Big picture: Tesla can ship more cars and still leave investors squinting at the chart. That’s the Tesla experience in one sentence.
