Tesla tops trading volume with $41.5 billion as Model S and X upgrades drive stock surge despite delivery slump

On June 13, 2025, Tesla (TSLA) saw a trading volume of $41.508 billion, making it the top-traded stock of the day. The company's shares rose by 1.94%.

Tesla has introduced upgrades to its Model S and Model X vehicles in the U.S., accompanied by a $5,000 price increase across all configurations. The all-wheel drive version of the Model X now starts at $89,990, while the Model S sedan begins at $84,990. The Plaid variants of the sedan and SUV are priced at $99,990 and $104,990, respectively. These upgrades include new wheel designs, improved interior noise reduction, enhanced suspension, and additional features like interior ambient lighting and a front-facing camera for better parking visibility. Customers can also opt for a frost blue metallic exterior paint for an additional $2,500.

Despite the upgrades, Tesla's stock has faced challenges. In the first quarter of 2025, the company reported a nearly 13% drop in deliveries compared to the same period in 2024, marking its worst quarterly performance in at least two years. This decline was attributed to several weeks of lost production due to a changeover of Model Y production lines across all manufacturing plants. The Model S and X, produced exclusively at Tesla's California plant, account for only a small portion of the company's overall deliveries, with 12,881 units delivered in the first quarter, representing 4% of total deliveries.
