Tesla shares rose 4.2% last week, buoyed by strong vehicle sales in China, record global deliveries in Q2 2026, and the end of a Swedish union strike. Key growth drivers include expanding energy projects, autonomous ride-hailing services, and AI developments, with UBS raising its price target. However, Tesla faces profitability challenges as Q2 earnings missed estimates, free cash flow turned negative due to rising capital expenditures, and regulatory credit revenues declined. Investors are watching how Tesla will balance growth with improving profits moving forward.
