Welcome to another episode of Tesla Stock Daily Drive with your host, Dusty. We’re here to give you the latest scoop on everything Tesla from market movements to the big stories shaping the landscape. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and let’s dive in.

As we take a look at Tesla's last trading session on Thursday, July 3, 2025, the stock opened at $317.99, reached a high of $318.45, and closed at $315.35, slipping just 0.10% from the previous day. While that might seem minimal, it’s interesting considering the lower volume — only about 58 million shares compared to over 119 million on July 2. This dip hints at the typical calm before the holiday storm, with investors perhaps taking it easy as we headed into the Fourth of July weekend.

We saw a modest decline in the close price from $315.65 on July 2 to $315.35 on July 3. But it's worth noting that the 51% drop in trading volume signals a holiday-shortened week where fewer investors were eager to make bold moves. The $1.016 trillion market capitalization is a testament to Tesla’s formidable position in the industry, remaining just a stone's throw from its trillion-dollar mark which it first crossed last year.

Now, let’s talk about some of the key drivers behind Tesla’s movements. On July 2, Tesla announced its Q2 production and delivery figures. They produced 410,244 vehicles and delivered 384,122. While deliveries dipped slightly year-over-year, the real star was the energy storage deployment—9.6 gigawatt-hours, one of the highest on record. This strength in energy storage revenue helped offset concerns around vehicle deliveries amidst growing competition in the EV market.

Analysts have mixed feelings. Zacks Investment Research noted that despite falling short of delivery forecasts, Tesla's stock remained resilient. Long-term growth prospects in areas like autonomous driving continue to capture investor attention. Piper Sandler still sees Tesla as its top "buy-and-hold" idea with a price target of $500. On the flip side, Jefferies held onto a buy rating but slightly trimmed their target, citing some headwinds and mixed trends. This balancing act between hope and caution has kept Tesla’s day-to-day changes quite modest.

In terms of performance, Tesla shares are down 19.2% year-to-date as of July 3, dealing with challenges in the tech sector and wider market concerns. Yet, the stock seems to be in a consolidation phase, acting as a barometer of investor sentiment as we await upcoming catalysts.

Speaking of which, all eyes are now on the Q2 2025 earnings release, scheduled for July 23. Investors will be listening closely to updates on Full Self-Driving rollouts, Cybertruck production, energy deployments, and Elon Musk’s views on the Robotaxi timeline. With broader macroeconomic factors in play, like upcoming Fed minutes and semiconductor developments, we’re heading into an intriguing time for the market.

That's it for today's deep dive into Tesla's world. Thanks for joining me, Dusty, on this ride. Remember, when the dust settles, only the truth remains. Until next time, keep those engines running and stay curious about the road ahead.
