The story behind the number
Tesla since 2022 has been a fairly steady climb. $1,000 put in at the end of 2022 grew to $3,299 — a 3.30× return, or about 41.8% a year. That beat the S&P 500, which turned the same $1,000 into $1,940 — you'd have come out roughly 1.70× ahead of simply buying the index.
The ride mattered as much as the destination. The strongest single year was 2023, up 41%; the worst was 2025, down 28%.
Holding on took nerve: the position fell as much as 36% from its 2025 peak to its 2025 low, before climbing back above that high by 2026. Inflation takes a bite, too — consumer prices rose about 12% over the period, so in today's money the result is closer to 2.95× what you put in.
