What if you invested 5000 in Tesla in 2010?
If you had invested $5,000 and been lucky enough to get in at the IPO price of $17, your Tesla stock would be worth $102,050 today. Over nine years and four months, that's an average annual return of 38.3%.
If you had invested $1 in TSLA 10 years ago, you would have $100.89 today. However, if you had waited to invest in Tesla within the past few years, your payoff would be a whole lot smaller.
