This is how much you’d have made if you bought $1,000 of Tesla stock every month since 2020.
The American carmaker has never been far from the headlines, especially since its unveiling of the Cybertruck.
But when it comes to stocks, is investing in Tesla a good idea?
Well, the figures tell a very interesting story – and if you’d invested $1,000 weekly these past five years, you’d have a lot to be happy about.

How much bank you can make with Tesla stock
Laura Beck from NASDAQ ran the figures on Tesla stock to see how much money you could have made if you’d bought stock every month since 2020.
In this hypothetical situation, the imaginary investor bought $1,000 worth of stock every month from January 2020 to September 2025.
That’s a total of $69,000 invested over a 69 month period.
How much does that translate to in terms of value and profit?
With 399.43 shares accumulated, the portfolio would come out at a value of $175,912.26, with an average cost of $172.75 per share.
All in all, that’s a total return of $106,912.26 – a 155 percent gain.
Not a shabby pay day by any stretch of the imagination.
If only we’d all had the foresight to invest back in January 2020, huh?
Biggest missed opportunities
There will always be missed opportunities when it comes to investing.
Take Marques Brownlee for example.
He made headlines recently when he’d cancelled his order for a Tesla Roadster.
But had he invested in Tesla stocks with the money he spent on the order, he would have made $1 million.
The thing about stock is that nobody can ever say with hundred percent certainty what will do well.
Take Apple, for example.
Sure, investing in Apple stock now would seem like smart money, but who could have known that from the start?
Fortunately, he had a very Zen response about it all.
We’re not sure we would have reacted the same way.
