SHANGHAI: Tesla Inc shares gained after the automaker posted record first-quarter deliveries, bolstering investor confidence that the company can power through disruptions including the continued shutdown of its Shanghai factory.
Tesla rose 1.8% in premarket trading yesterday after the electric-vehicle maker said over the weekend it shipped 310,048 cars worldwide in the three months through March – about 900 vehicles ahead of the average analyst estimate compiled by Bloomberg.
