Share are off another 5% on Thursday, taking the stock below the $700-level.

The huge falls come after for the stock earlier this week.

The electric vehicle maker’s market cap stands at $132.4 billion.

Tesla’s rally of over 300% since early June has been a vindication for Chief Executive Elon Musk, who has transformed a niche car maker with production problems into the global leader in electric vehicles, with U.S. and Chinese factories.

Still, many investors remain skeptical that Tesla (NASDAQ:) can consistently deliver profit, cash flow and growth in the face of competition from established rivals.
