Why It Matters: Tesla is seeing high interest on the forum after the electric vehicle maker reported better-than-expected deliveries of 241,300 vehicles for the third quarter, up 73.2% year-over-year, despite the ongoing chip shortage.

AMC Entertainment and videogame retailer GameStop continue to be among the most-discussed stocks on the forum. A new class-action lawsuit alleged that trading app Robinhood Markets Inc. HOOD and market maker Citadel Securities conspired to drive down the price of Reddit-favorite stocks, including GameStop and AMC Entertainment, earlier this year.

General Motors has emerged among the most-discussed stocks on the forum. A post on the forum noted Cathie Wood, the founder of investment management firm Ark Invest, has called out the automaker for blaming chip shortages for the nearly 33% year-over-year fall in its U.S. vehicle deliveries for the third quarter, even as Tesla recorded better-than-expected deliveries.

Price Action: SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust’s shares closed almost 1.2% higher in Friday’s trading at $434.24, while Tesla shares closed less than 0.1% lower at $775.22.
