A negative reaction despite rising April deliveries of 29,356 vehicles and cumulative 1,110,413 could mirror past instances where operational or filing updates did not prevent downside moves. Historical events include both positive and negative price reactions, so a sharp decline might reflect concerns about broader factors or prior financings rather than this delivery update alone.
