The company's stock, priced at $991.79 USD a share at time of writing, only tells part of the story, as Tesla has gone through troubled times for 2020 and in its recent past. Alongside COVID-19 production delays and complications, Tesla and the car industry's new car sales figures plummeted, with supplies of vehicles far exceeding demand during the global pandemic. CEO Elon Musk has also controversially contributed to Tesla price fluctuations and company/CEO approval in the recent years, with actions such as drug-influenced public appearances, divisive social media interactions and far more questionable actions such as recording an EDM music track acting as direct and indirect correlations.
