There has been more political unrest in China as Beijing reiterated its stance on carrying out its zero-covid policy. This has led to further restrictions and lockdowns being imposed, with fears over central transportation and shipping hubs having a direct impact on Chinese industry and manufacturing. Nio’s domestic rivals were also hit hard as XPeng (XPEV) and Li Auto (LI) fell by 11% and 11.2%, respectively, during the session. Both stocks also hit new 52-week lows alongside Nio on Wednesday.

After the markets closed, Tesla (TSLA) reported its third-quarter earnings with mixed results. The company reported a modest beat on earnings but fell short of revenue estimates. CEO Elon Musk addressed his thoughts on a potential recession and also provided enthusiasm for his looming acquisition of Twitter (TWTR). Shares of TSLA were trading lower in extended trading hours by more than 5% at the time of writing.
