TSLA has underperformed the S&P 500 over the last year, but vastly outperformed it if you expand your time frame to 5 years - ~1,000% vs 50%.

Perhaps comparing the 43% drop over the last year to other comparable companies would provide a better picture.

1 Year TSLA: -43.28% GM: -29.99% FORD: -26.13% STLA: -33.09%

5 Years TSLA: 1,019% GM: -8.24% FORD: 9.24% STLA: -25.23%



Obviously Musk should go on Twitter and lie that he's taking Tesla private again to juice the stock. Maybe he'll get two slaps on the wrist this time.


You can't compare such a recent company, to others that were well established for decades. It means nothing.

I believe the criticism comes from the volatility of the company.
