Tesla recently reported a record number of 484,000 vehicle deliveries in Q4 2023. This achievement aligns with the company’s 2023 target of delivering 1.8 million cars and was facilitated through increased discounts on key models.
However, the electric vehicle manufacturer's market position is being challenged in China, the world's largest auto market. The challenge arises from BYD - a major competitor that announced it had produced an unprecedented 526,000 battery-powered vehicles during the same quarter.
This competitive pressure is having an impact on Tesla's stock market valuation. Its shares lost 4.42% in the first week of January, with a direct ripple effect on consumer discretionary ETFs which, on average, decreased by 3.42% over the week.
Illustrating this trend the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLY) lost 3.41% while recording $406 million in outflows.
