After months of declining global sales, Tesla posted a big jump in the second quarter. The automaker recorded one of its best Q2s yet, thanks to surging sales in Europe.

Now, to regain momentum in the U.S., Tesla has launched the six-seat Model Y L at $61,990. It gets a longer wheelbase, a cavernous interior, and 325 miles of range, along with a complimentary year of Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Supercharger access.

Here are our other top stories today:

  • Rivian’s deliveries improved by 14.4% year over year despite the loss of the tax credit. But the company says the best is yet to come.

  • Last month, Lucid said goodbye to its top engineer. Now it's bringing in a new leadership team.

We're off tomorrow for the July 4th long weekend, but we'll be back in full force on Monday. Happy Fourth!
