Tesla sales smash expectations as it cashes in on sky-high gas prices
Tesla sold 480,126 vehicles in Q2, surpassing Wall Street estimates amid rising gas prices linked to the Middle East war. The company's EV sales growth contrasts with a 27% decline in broader US EV market sales, driven by high fuel costs boosting demand in Europe. Tesla is shifting production toward its Optimus robot and Cybercab robotaxi.
