Fisker also announced plans to increase deliveries of its Ocean vehicle to 300 units per day.
Tesla

Barclays
- Barclays shares saw a 2% increase after Morgan Stanley upgraded the U.K. bank's rating from equal weight to overweight. This upgrade was driven by growth in Barclays' credit card business and a positive outlook for its investment banking operations.
DraftKings
- DraftKings, a sports betting company, experienced a 3% pre-market surge in its stock price following an upgrade from JPMorgan, changing its rating from neutral to overweight. The upgrade was based on the belief that recent underperformance has created an appealing entry point for investors.
Thor Industries
- Shares of Thor Industries, a recreational vehicle company, declined by 3% in pre-market trading due to the company's warning about an expected decline in net sales for the coming year. In its recently concluded quarter, Thor reported earnings per share of $1.68 on $2.74 billion of revenue, surpassing analyst expectations. However, despite its strong year-to-date performance, the company issued a cautious outlook.
