Tesla stock ticks up premarket as Tencent WeChat tie-up puts China back in focus
Tesla shares rose 0.5% to $430.40 in premarket trading Thursday after Tencent Cloud said it will add WeChat-linked features to Model 3 and Model Y cars in China via a wireless update. The move comes as China’s January vehicle sales dropped 19.5% from a year earlier. Tesla named Joe Ward to oversee global sales after its North American sales chief departed.
