Stock Markets Bounce Higher Tuesday as Ford, GM One-Up Tesla for a Change

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite were all up sharply, with the Dow leading the higher. Nowhere has that been clearer than in the auto industry, where Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and a host of electric-vehicle upstarts have made well-established automaker giants seem hopelessly out of date. On Tuesday, though, Ford Motor (NYSE: F) and General Motors (NYSE: GM) managed to post bigger gains than Tesla's stock did.
