Tesla shareholders (TSLA 0. 12%) had a rough day on Friday, with inventory falling 7. 5%. But the electric vehicle leader’s inventories rose more than 8% Monday morning to kick off the new business week. At 1:35 p. m. ET, inventory is still up 7. 2%.

CORRECTION: The 83,135 cars produced by Tesla in Shanghai arrived in September and were a monthly record.
