Tesla’s Q2 Delivery Beat Fueled by Gas, FSD, Pricing and Europe

Tesla posted a Q2 2026 delivery of 480,126 vehicles (up 25% YoY) with production of 451,758, led by Model 3/Y, beating Wall Street estimates and ending a two-year slide in deliveries. The beat is attributed to four drivers: rising gas prices boosting EV incentive, increased adoption of Full Self-Driving in Europe, strategic pricing with lower-cost Model 3/Y configurations, and a European recovery supported by incentives and exports from Shanghai and Berlin. The result suggests demand outpacing supply and demonstrates Tesla’s resilience even as the US EV tax credit winds down.

Sony Hints at PS Plus Price Hikes, Emphasizes Value and Profitability

Sony executives say PlayStation Plus price increases are under consideration, stressing they’ll balance service value against consumer costs and use multiple levers—pricing, tier mix, and content acquisition efficiency—to boost profitability, with higher tiers now comprising about 40% of subscribers and PS Plus posting record profitability in FY2025.

Discless GTA 6: Why Rockstar is skipping discs in favor of codes

GTA 6’s physical edition comes with a download code instead of a disc, reflecting a broader shift toward disc-less packaging. Analysts say this boosts digital pre-orders, eliminates the used/rental market that undercuts publishers, gives Rockstar price-control over the market, and reduces leak risks, while freeing development time from disc production—but it could disappoint collectors who prefer physical media.

7 Brew bets on budget-friendly drive-thru coffee to crowd coffee deserts

Arkansas-based 7 Brew is rapidly expanding its drive-thru coffee chain, now with more than 700 locations across 38 states and about 340 more planned, aiming to surpass 1,000 sites within a year. The chain targets towns with little coffee competition, pricing drinks around $5 to undercut Starbucks and Dunkin, and offering thousands of drink combinations with a straightforward loyalty program. Sales jumped from about $502 million in 2024 to nearly $1.2 billion last year, backed by Blackstone and Franchise Equity Partners. As it scales, 7 Brew faces the challenge of maintaining the “third space” cafe experience and consistent quality while competing with larger chains and staying true to its fast, low-cost model.

Tesla nudges Model Y prices higher as margins tighten

Tesla raised prices on higher-end Model Y trims in the U.S. for the first time in two years: Premium RWD and Premium AWD each +$1,000, and the Performance variant +$500, while entry-level trims stay at $39,990 and $41,990. The move aligns with a shift toward higher margins as demand stabilizes and comes alongside new paint colors and signals for a future Model Y L three-row version.

Planet Fitness stock slides after guidance cut and paused pricing plan

Planet Fitness stock plunged more than 30% after it cut its full-year guidance, trimming revenue growth to 7% (from 9%), lowering same-store sales to 1% (vs 4–5%), and pausing a planned Black Card price increase, even as the quarter posted 21.9% revenue growth and 3.5% same-club sales; management cited weaker net member growth and other headwinds and said it would sharpen marketing while pursuing a long-term plan focused on affordability and member acquisition.

Sony Was Right: Subscriptions Struggle to Fund Big First-Party Games

Opinion piece argues Sony’s caution on day-one, all-you-can-play subscriptions was prescient. It cites Microsoft’s Game Pass price hikes and the COD inclusion as signs the model is financially fragile, while Sony’s PS Plus Extra is valuable without day-one exclusives—despite Horizon joining later. The author suggests the Netflix-for-games idea is fading, MS may pivot, and Sony’s approach appears more sustainable for long-term profitability.

PepsiCo warns Iran conflict could push prices higher amid inflation fight

PepsiCo warned that the Iran war could raise input costs and, by extension, consumer prices, even as it previously cut snack prices to combat inflation. The company expects to offset higher costs through its supply infrastructure, productivity gains, and adjustments to its price-pack architecture, with six to 12 months of hedging offering some protection. In the latest quarter, revenue rose 8.5% to $19.4 billion and net income climbed 27% to $2.3 billion, helped by rebounding North American snack volumes and resilient international markets.
