    The company's solid delivery numbers heightened expectations of a profitable second quarter, which Tesla will report on July 22.
    If it indeed comes in positive, it would be Tesla's four consecutive profitable quarter, a first for the company, and a key hurdle in a process to be added to the S&P 500 index.
    On July 1st, Tesla became the world's most valuable car company by market cap, surpassing Toyota Motors.
    Fueled by stronger-than-expected car deliveries, shares of Tesla have surged over 40% in the past seven sessions, elevating its market capitalization to $259 billion.
    If Tesla is included in the S&P 500 index, it could gain access to extra investments, said analysts.
    It would also join a group of other largest, publicly traded companies in the U.S. represented in the prestigious and most widely quoted S&P 500 index.
