According to its historical data, its value was up over 672% at the time of reporting, added over $318% YTD, added 115.23% in the past three months, jumped over 6.59% in the past one month, and around 23.5% in the past five days.

However, despite the high speculation from investors to Wall Street analysts, Tesla Inc has been delivering competitive products that the consumers are pleased with. A spike in demand for its products, especially in the China and greater Asian region, is an indicator of a bright future ahead.
“To this point, robust Model 3 demand out of China remains a linchpin of success and appears to be on a run rate to hit 150k unit deliveries in the first year out of the gates for Giga 3 which is driving some strength for Tesla as well as Model Y deliveries starting to ramp as well,” Ives wrote in a note to clients. “Looking ahead, we believe Musk & Co are slated to announce a number of new potential “game-changing” battery developments at its highly anticipated Battery Day on Sept. 22.”
Previously, Bank of America on Friday upgraded Tesla to “neutral” from “underperform” giving its expectations to $1,750 from $800.
“Musk’s leadership, a compelling brand, and improved execution are driving an ever-increasing stock price,” analysts led by John Murphy wrote in a note. “This is direct evidence that the company has unfettered access to low-cost capital, which remains a key advantage that may (and should) be leveraged to accelerate growth to almost 50% per annum over the next five years.”
