Unsurprisingly, Tesla’s shares plummeted when trading resumed on Monday, dropping over 3.5 percent in early trading.
Tesla registered 70 and 75 percent more cars in Spain and Italy, respectively, this year compared to the same period last year.
Shares are up almost 38 percent over the last six months and over 11 percent over the last 12 months.
Besides new revelations into Musk’s relationship with Epstein, competition from China is also applying major pressure on Tesla.
During the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call last week, Musk revealed that the Model S and X would be killed in favor of turning its Fremont, California, plant into a robot factory.
