Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) – Tesla sold 68,280
China-made vehicles in October, a 5.3% drop from the previous year,

November after exceeding third-quarter profit expectations but was
outperformed by BYD in revenue. Additionally, Tesla sold $499
million in securities based on loans for solar equipment customers.
Deutsche Bank led the transaction, with Fitch Ratings giving
investment-grade ratings to all tranches due to customers’ strong
credit quality. Demand exceeded supply, with a 4.83% coupon on the
main tranche. CEO Elon Musk faced a legal setback regarding
severance claims from former Twitter executives dismissed during
his 2022 acquisition. A judge allowed former executives, including
Parag Agrawal, to proceed with claims that Musk strategically fired
them to avoid severances. Similar cases against Musk continue.
