Shares of electric vehicle pioneer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) fell 4.1% in the afternoon session after the stock extended its negative momentum as the company reported record third-quarter deliveries that beat expectations, but investors grew concerned about future demand. Tesla delivered a record 497,099 vehicles, which was well above forecasts. However, the market reacted negatively because the strong sales were largely attributed to a rush from U.S. consumers to buy an electric vehicle before a key federal tax credit expired at the end of September. This created a belief among investors that demand was pulled forward, potentially leading to a weaker fourth quarter and the following year. Adding to the concerns, the record results were also offset by a continuing sales slowdown in the European market.
