Business News: Despite CEO Elon Musk’s promise on Tuesday to cut electric vehicle costs radically , but not for at least three years, Investors slashed $50 billion from Tesla’s market value.
After Musk and other Tesla executives presented their new battery and manufacturing strategies, Tesla’s market cap dropped $20 billion in just two hours after trading closed Tuesday, Shares closed down 5.6% and dropped another 6.9% after hours.
At Musk’s oft-touted “Battery Day” Investors had expected two significant announcements: The development of a “million mile” battery good for 10 years or more, and a specific cost reduction target — expressed in dollars per kilowatt-hour — that would finally drop the price of an electric vehicle below that of a gasoline car.
Roth Capital Partners analyst Craig Irwin said Nothing Musk discussed about batteries is a done deal,” and that “There was nothing tangible.”
