Overview

Tesla shares fell after the automaker posted a record quarter of vehicle sales that will be difficult to replicate now that federal electric-car subsidies have expired.

The company delivered 497,099 vehicles worldwide in the most recent quarter, 7.4 per cent more than a year ago. Although the total far exceeds the roughly 439,600 average analyst estimate compiled by Bloomberg, Tesla’s shares slumped 5.1 per cent on Thursday (Friday AEST) following a record monthly gain in market capitalisation.
