Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) fell by -3.97% on Wednesday, compounding shareholders woes after what has been a difficult start to the year. Over the past month, the stock has fallen -26.78%, and it is now down -39.40% since its six-month high on Dec. 17, 2024.
Still, Tesla has gained 45.84% over the past year, leaving plenty of investors drawn to the Elon Musk-led EV market leader which has experienced a meteoric rise that’s resulted in a 22,618.75% gain since the company’s IPO on June 29, 2010 when it debuted at $17 per share — or roughly $1 when adjusting for stock splits.
Regardless, investors are more concerned with the stock’s future performance over the next one, five and 10 years. While most Wall Street analysts will calculate 12-month forward projections, it’s clear that nobody has a consistent crystal ball, and plenty of unforeseen circumstances can render even near-term projections irrelevant. 24/7 Wall Street aims to present some farther-looking insights based on Tesla’s own numbers, along with business and market development information that may be of help to our readers’ own research.

Key Drivers for Tesla’s Stock Performance
- Improved Margins: Tesla’s management is cutting manufacturing costs and expanding margins, trending with strong revenue and net income gains since 2020. Its Shanghai, China, and Berlin, Germany gigafactories should help Tesla cut a chunk of export-related red tape and tariffs for forthcoming EVs that will result in lower overseas sticker prices and enhanced sales.
- R&D Paying Off: Thanks to its FSD and Robotaxis R&D, Tesla is leading nicely ahead of GM’s Cruise and Alphabet’s Waymo. Chinese companies like Apollo Go and WeRide are viewed as better-equipped Robotaxi competitors, in a field that may explode in the upcoming future.
- Diversified Business Segments: Tesla’s Supercharger, energy and battery businesses have taken off strongly and further separated it from its EV peers as a company with many more technology irons in the fire.
Tesla (TSLA) Price Prediction in 2025
According to Wall Street analysts, the consensus 12-month price target for Tesla is $357.68 per share, which is good for 22.99% upside potential from today’s closing price. The stock currently receives a consensus “Hold” rating.
However, 24/7 Wall Street’s 12-month Tesla price target for Tesla is $213.20, which represents downside potential of -26.68%. The mixed opinions likely stem from the unconventional way that Musk runs not only Tesla, but all of his companies. Fears over the potential for a domino effect, if negative events impact one to cause a spillover effect due to his mercurial temperament, are not unfounded. Additionally, his often negatively perceived public persona has contributed to lagging Tesla sales in European markets since late January.
