Tesla's record quarter costs $71bn after Musk spending spree. Is there a silver lining?

Tesla reported record car sales, but the stock fell about 4% after hours, wiping roughly $71 billion off the company’s market value. The market reaction suggests the sales strength was not enough to offset concerns reflected in the valuation and/or near-term outlook. Overall, this reads as a negative sentiment event despite the top-line “good” news.
