Tesla Inc. surprised Wall Street with record second-quarter deliveries that beat estimates, easing concerns over waning demand for the company’s electric cars that had pressured shares so far this year.

“While there were a good amount of ‘leaked’ emails and reports prophesizing a potential ‘record quarter’ for deliveries, we had not spoken to any investors that expected deliveries to be this high,” Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas wrote in a note. “We expect the stock to squeeze and then fade on this news.”
