Tesla's market cap fell below $1 trillion, but it still reflects investors' assumptions of enormous future growth.

Retail chatter on Stocktwits around EV giant Tesla Inc. (TSLA) jumped 117% over the past seven days as investors geared up for the company’s second-quarter earnings and responded to the weak numbers.

The Tesla CEO said the company expects to expand their autonomous driver service to include customer-owned cars.
