It is noted that after a 36% decline in value in the first quarter of this year — the worst period for the stock since 2022 — Tesla's shares reached an all-time high of $489.88.
On Tuesday, the stock rose 3.1%, and since the beginning of the year - 21%. The previous record of $488.54 was set by the company almost a year ago.
CNBC reports that the company's shares rose this week after its CEO Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, said that Tesla is testing self-driving cars in Austin, Texas, without passengers on board.
With the rise in shares, Tesla's market value grew to $1.63 trillion, making it the seventh largest in the world, trailing only Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta, and slightly ahead of Broadcom.
