Tesla Inc. was set to add about $50 billion to its market value as the electric car-maker’s shares surged on Monday, after it posted record deliveries on strong demand in China that helped it offset the impact of a global shortage in auto parts.

The stock jumped nearly 8 percent in pre-market trading and it was on track to hit its highest in over a month.
