Shares of the Elon Musk-led company dropped by 5.2% to $166.08 on Tuesday afternoon, resulting in a loss of about $30 billion in market value. Year-to-date, the shares have fallen approximately 33%.


Following years of rapid sales growth that propelled Tesla to become the world's most valuable automaker, the company anticipates a slowdown in 2024.
