What if I invested $1000 in Tesla 10 years ago?
A $1,000 investment in Tesla in November 2011 would be worth just over $204,000 now, with the stock's price increasing from $5.74 to $1,229 over those 10 years. That's more than a 20,000% return. A similar investment in the S&P 500 would have given you a 357.4% return.
This means that your $1,000 10 years ago — technically, $1,002 — would have bought 60 shares of Tesla. As of Mar. 3, 2024, those 60 shares of Tesla would be worth $12,158.40. That marks a 28.342% annual rate of return.
Ten years ago, at market close on March 28, 2014, Tesla's stock was trading at $14.16 per share. This means that $10,000 invested in Tesla in March 2014 would be worth about $124,145 today.
According to our calculations, a $1000 investment made in February 2014 would be worth $5,971.20, or a gain of 497.12%, as of February 5, 2024, and this return excludes dividends but includes price increases. Compare this to the S&P 500's rally of 178.17% and gold's return of 55.50% over the same time frame.
Currently, 32 Wall Street analysts follow Tesla stock, and they have a consensus “buy” rating on the company. Their average 12-month price target is $207.30, marking a potential gain one year out of about 27%.
So, if you held onto your 0.753 ounces of gold from your initial $1,000 investment, it would be worth approximately $1,432 today. This means that your $1,000 investment would have grown by about 43% in nominal terms.

Tesla has revolutionized the electric vehicle market in 20 years.

Tesla has only split one time - in August 2020. The split was 5:1, and therefore, whatever today's Tesla price is NOW, the price would be 5x higher if it had never split. For example, today (Jan 2022) Tesla is trading for about $1000 per share. Hence, if it had never split, it would be at $5000.
Shares of Tesla would be worth more than $5,000 each without the original split. Even with its new factories near Berlin and Austin, Texas, Tesla is still a fraction of the size of most long-established automakers.
In other words, a $10,000 investment in Tesla's IPO in 2010 would now be worth a staggering $2,643,178. For those of you keeping score at home, this equates to a 26,332% increase in value in just over 12 years.
