The week saw Tesla launching a new Model Y configuration in the U.S., namely the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, which costs under $35K and is eligible for the $7,500 federal tax subsidy. Separately, a COX Automotive report said Tesla’s Cybertruck was the best-selling EV priced at over $100,000 and that the company sold over 3,200 units in June alone.

Analysts have ratcheted up their earnings per share estimates for Tesla by about 9% over the past week, going by data provided by Yahoo Finance. The improved assessment potentially reflects better-than-feared first-quarter deliveries. The company is scheduled to announce its quarterly results on July 23.
