What happened

Ferrari's stock plummeted after it unveiled its first fully electric vehicle, which was criticized by the luxury carmaker's former boss and even Italy's transport minister.

Why it matters

The company's shares fell more than 8% on Tuesday after the unveiling of the Luce, Ferrari's first five-seater that priced at 550,000 euros, roughly $640,000.

Common ground

The Milan-listed stock, which briefly rose over 2% on Wednesday morning, closed the session marginally lower.
