Electric vehicle (EV) stocks, including Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA) Corp., Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID), Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:MULN), and Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) Automotive Inc., experienced a general downtrend on Thursday. This was triggered by Tesla's underwhelming third-quarter earnings and CEO Elon Musk's cautious outlook on the forthcoming Cybertruck launch.

Tesla's stock hit a two-month low, stirring concerns about possible price reductions in a challenging macro environment characterized by high interest rates. This observation was made by Wedbush analyst Dan Ives.

The fallout from Tesla's earnings report led to a slump in the Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicle ETF and a slight easing of S&P 500 futures.

China-based EV competitors Nio (NYSE:NIO) Inc., XPeng Inc (NYSE:XPEV)., and Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) Inc. trended towards four-month lows. In addition, Lucid Group and Mullen Automotive reached record lows, while Nikola Corp . fell to a five-week low.

Despite the overall sector downtrend, there were mixed results among other EV manufacturers. Fisker Inc. (NYSE:FSR), and VinFast Auto Ltd. (NASDAQ:VFS) saw declines, but Workhorse Group Inc.’s stock bucked the trend with an increase.
