While Tesla Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) sales in the U.S. have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39595720/tesla-deliveries-fall-for-second-straight-quarter-but-stock-takes-off-as-q2-numbers-exceed-expec">dropping since the start of the year</a>, South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) and Japanese player Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) have been gaining ground in the country. 
Tesla Sales Drop: Tesla sales in the U.S. fell by nearly 10% since the start of the year and through the end of the second quarter, according to Kelley Blue Book estimates. Tesla does not segment its deliveries geography-wise, leaving third-party data as the sole means of tracking their sales in the country. 
As per the data, Tesla sold 304,451 units in the first half of the year as opposed to 336,892 vehicles in the corresponding period of last year.
While the sales drop was experienced across Tesla&#8217;s lineup, Model 3 sales took the largest hit. The company sold only 73,552 Model 3 sedans in the first half of this year as opposed to 112,791 units in the first half of 2023, likely due to the production ramp of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38511618/tesla-researcher-thinks-ev-giants-biggest-challenge-in-q2-comes-from-one-of-its-cas">updated Model 3</a> at the company&#8217;s Fremont factory.
Tesla introduced the updated version of the Model 3 in the U.S. market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36570546/you-can-finally-order-teslas-new-model-3-in-america-heres-its-starting-price">in January.</a> 
Foreign Players Sell More EVs: But despite the American EV giant dropping in sales, foreign players have gained ground. Toyota sold 9,468 EVs in the period, marking a jump of 159% year-on-year. Toyota&#8217;s luxury brand Lexus, meanwhile, saw EV sales jump about 405% to 5,639 units, owing to the rise in popularity of its Lexus RZ electric SUV.
South Korea&#8217;s Hyundai too is rising in popularity in the region. While Hyundai saw its EV sales surge 34% to 29,105 units owing to the popularity of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39630731/mustang-mach-e-drives-fords-q2-ev-sales-ahead-of-gm-but-its-still-just-a-fraction-of-elon-musks-tesl">Ioniq models</a>, its sister brand Kia saw sales jump 104% to 27,634 units.
Hyundai&#8217;s luxury brand Genesis also marked a nearly 27% growth in sales to 3,241 units, with the popularity of its GV70 Performance SUV making up for the drop in sales of its other EVs including the G80.
Other Domestic Player Performance: Foreign brands are not alone in their EV sales growth. Michigan-based Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39630731/mustang-mach-e-drives-fords-q2-ev-sales-ahead-of-gm-but-its-still-just-a-fraction-of-elon-musks-tesl">saw a 71.8% jump in EV sales</a> in the first six months of 2024 to 44,180 units, while American EV startup Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) registered a 33% rise in sales to 27,378, according to Kelley Blue Book data.
General Motors&#8216; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) Cadillac brand also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39612749/60-000-cadillac-lyriq-drives-gms-q2-ev-sales-after-bolt-is-discontinued">saw sales rise by 465% to 13,094 units, owing to a rise in sales of its Lyriq SUV</a> while Chevrolet EV sales dropped by nearly 41% to 19,918 units, likely due to the stop in production of its Bolt EV in December.

Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Luxair announced today the European regional carrier is again ordering a new member of the 737 MAX family to power its sustainable growth. A year after purchasing the 737-7 and 737-8 models, Luxair has now placed an order for two 737-10 airplanes with options for two more. The 737-10 is the largest model in the MAX family and provides the best economics of any single-aisle jet.
<a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2466044/Luxair_737_10_HD.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Boeing and Luxair announced today the European regional carrier placed an order for two 737-10 airplanes with options for two more. (PRNewsfoto/Boeing)" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2466044/Luxair_737_10_HD.jpg" /></a>
&quot;The purchase of the 737-10 is another step towards Luxair positioning for its future with the investment in the latest airplane technology that will support Luxair&#39;s growth plans and the decarbonization of our fleet. There is high commonality between the 737 MAX models, and this allows for significant operational savings for the airline,&quot; said&nbsp;Gilles Feith, Luxair CEO.
&quot;In addition to reducing overall fuel use and emissions, the 737 MAXs will help create a&nbsp;50 percent&nbsp;smaller noise footprint by reducing noise generated by takeoffs and landings at Luxembourg Airport.&quot;
The 737 MAX family reduces fuel use and carbon emissions&nbsp;20 percent&nbsp;compared to the airplane it replaces, providing operators greater efficiency along with fleet commonality. With the 737-10&#39;s size, operators can carry more passengers and realize the lowest cost per seat of any single-aisle airplane.
Luxair plans to operate its new 737-10s to offer passengers a minimum of 30-inch seat pitch. In this configuration, the airline can fly up to 213 passengers on routes stretching 5,740 km (3,100 nautical miles), resulting in more capacity and range to capitalize on growing leisure travel.

Cyngn Regains Nasdaq Compliance, No Increase In Authorized Shares Confirmed

Analysts predict that the recent global tech outage caused by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) could cost over $1 billion, but the question of who will foot the bill remains unanswered.
What Happened: Experts predict that there will be demands for remuneration and possibly lawsuits, CNN <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/21/business/crowdstrike-outage-cost/index.html">reported</a> on Monday.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re a lawyer for CrowdStrike, you&#8217;re probably not going to enjoy the rest of your summer,&#8221; said Dan Ives, a tech analyst for Wedbush Securities.
On Friday, CrowdStrike was identified as the source of a massive global tech outage, which led to the cancellation of over 5,000 commercial airline flights worldwide and caused disruptions in various sectors, from retail to healthcare. The issue was traced back to a few bits of faulty code in a software content update by CrowdStrike.
The company acknowledged the issue in a social media post late Sunday, stating that a &#8220;significant number&#8221; of the approximately 8.5 million affected devices were back online. However, CrowdStrike has not addressed whether it plans to provide compensation to affected customers.

Despite the uncertainty, some experts believe that CrowdStrike&#8217;s customer contracts may shield it from liability. 
&#8220;I would guess that the contracts protect them,&#8221; said James Lewis, a researcher at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
While the final cost of the outage is yet to be determined, the damage to CrowdStrike&#8217;s reputation could be significant, potentially making it difficult for the company to attract new customers.
Why It Matters: The outage, triggered by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39873706/crowdstrike-outage-impacted-less-than-1-of-windows-devices-but-still-managed-to-wreak-havoc-report">faulty update from CrowdStrike</a>, impacted millions of Windows users, causing widespread disruptions to various services worldwide. The incident, which was not a result of a hacker attack, was due to a technical error in the software update.
Following the incident, Jen Easterly, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, criticized CrowdStrike&#8217;s faulty software <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39875506/crowdstrikes-faulty-microsoft-windows-update-gets-slammed-by-us-cybersecurity-official-was-a-huge-de">update as a "serious mistake"</a> with significant impacts on critical infrastructure operations across the world.
Price Action: On Monday&#8217;s pre-market, CrowdStrike shares were down 3.54% at $294.15 while Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) shares were up 0.7% at $440.15., at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a>
