Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares are in the spotlight Monday as a busy stretch of developments keeps the company in the headlines, from regulatory twists and delivery expectations to a major energy partnership.
- Tesla stock is holding steady today. Where is TSLA stock headed?
The NHTSA Rollercoaster
Regulatory headlines cut both ways last week. NHTSA opened a new probe into a fatal Tesla crash, adding to investor concerns about FSD technology. By Saturday, however, NHTSA closed its Model 3 and Model Y steering probe — removing one overhang even as the broader FSD safety narrative continues to simmer.
Q2 Deliveries on the Horizon
The most closely watched event for Tesla right now is the imminent Q2 delivery report, expected in the first week of July. Analyst consensus puts Q2 deliveries at approximately 406,000 vehicles, with a median estimate of 408,609. Goldman Sachs raised its estimate to 420,000, citing strong regional sales data particularly in Europe, where registration data through May showed an approximately 85-90% year-over-year increase. Barclays also expects above-consensus deliveries. The report will be the first real test of whether Tesla’s demand recovery is sustainable after two consecutive years of annual delivery declines in 2024 and 2025.
The Energy Partnership
On June 24, Tesla, Sunrun, and Renew Home announced a framework to deliver more than 16 gigawatts of flexible energy capacity to hyperscalers and utilities, aggregating millions of existing home batteries, smart thermostats, and electric vehicles into what would be the largest distributed power plant in the country.
The framework requires no new hardware, software, or interconnection, and is deployable in months, not years. In Virginia alone, the companies have more than 300 megawatts available for immediate deployment, expected to grow to at least 500 megawatts by 2030. The deal puts Tesla’s Powerwall and energy ecosystem at the center of the AI data center power crunch narrative.
