(Bloomberg/Craig Trudell) — Tesla Inc. managed to pique the interests of investors with a series of social media posts that sent the carmaker’s shares higher Monday.
First, the company posted a video clip of a black hubcap-like object with a Tesla logo spinning before flashing the numbers 10/7, likely referencing a product unveiling on Tuesday. A second post appears to show a car parked in pitch-black darkness, revealing only its headlights.
Tesla shares traded up as much as 4% shortly after the open in New York. The stock slumped late last week after the company posted a record quarter of car sales that will be difficult to replicate now that federal electric-vehicle subsidies have expired in the US.
Tesla last added a new product to its lineup almost two years ago with the Cybertruck, and the polarizing pickup has been a disappointment. Executives have said a more affordable version of the Model Y is on the way to help buoy sales now that US EV tax credits have ceased.
One other product that’s been in the works is the second-generation Roadster, a prototype of which was shown in late 2017. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said in February 2024 that Tesla would aim to ship the car this year.
