Tesla shares fell by 5% on Monday as the company’s newly released lower-cost car models failed to meet investors’ expectations. The drop in share prices occurred on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday.
The disappointing performance of the new lower-cost cars, namely the Model 2 and Model C, has raised concerns among investors about Tesla’s ability to compete in the mid-range vehicle market. Analysts had high hopes for these models to significantly expand Tesla’s customer base and drive up sales.
Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, acknowledged the market’s response but remained optimistic about the company’s future. He pointed out that the lower-cost models are part of Tesla’s long-term strategy to make electric vehicles more affordable and accessible to a wider range of consumers.
In contrast, some industry experts believe that the lower-than-expected demand for the new models could indicate a shift in consumer preferences towards other electric vehicle brands offering more competitive pricing.
Overall, the drop in Tesla shares reflects the uncertainty surrounding the company’s ability to capture a larger market share with its new lower-cost models. Investors will be closely monitoring Tesla’s sales figures and market performance in the coming months to assess the impact of these developments on the company’s overall growth trajectory.
