Tesla milestone buys often missed bigger gains; IPO buyers saw 22,177% returns, recent investors less so.

Tesla investors who bought at major company milestones like the IPO, Model 3 launch, S&P 500 inclusion, and Robotaxi reveal saw very different returns. IPO buyers in 2010 earned a staggering 22,177% return by 2026, far outpacing later milestone buyers. For example, those who bought at the Model 3 launch in 2017 earned about 1,488%, while S&P 500 inclusion buyers in 2020 gained only around 64%. Recent fundamentals show challenges with missed earnings and high expenses, causing a stock slide despite expansion efforts. This highlights that buying on hype can lead to lower returns, and investors should watch earnings and growth closely.

Tesla shares trade at USD 356.24 on Pluang as of Oct 01, 2026 22:51 WIB, showing a modest 0.40% gain in the past day. The stock’s market cap stands at $1.40 trillion, reflecting its significant size despite recent challenges. Pluang investors hold Tesla for an average of 87 days, with 80% of recent orders being buys, indicating ongoing interest in the stock.
