Prior to today's trading, shares of the electric car maker had gained 31.88% over the past month. This has outpaced the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector's gain of 2.74% and the S&P 500's gain of 3.95% in that time.

Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $6.99 billion, down 3.2% from the year-ago period.
