The city of Lewisville, Texas, confirmed a Tesla charging device ignited an "intense" house fire that engulfed a Lexus and the home's upper floors Monday.

Tesla and Alphabet report quarterly earnings after the closing bell Wednesday, while Texas Instruments tumbles after issuing a disappointing profit forecast.
