Tesla rebounded in Wednesday's premarket after its worst single-day loss ever. However, shares of the electric auto maker were still up nearly 300% in 2020 as of Tuesday's close.

Since then, as of Tuesday's close, the stock tanked 34%, well into a bear market as defined by a decline of at least 20% from recent highs. | | | | On today's economic calendar, the Labor Department issues its latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey at 10 a.m. ET.
