Tesla’s share price surpassed $1,000 for the first time: Report

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) documents show that after Tesla’s stock price exceeded $1,000 for the first time to reach a record high, a Tesla director sold more than $200 million of stock on Wednesday.

After the third quarter’s revenue and profit hit historical records, Tesla and the car rental company Hertz reached a 100,000 car order agreement, which pushed Tesla’s share price soaring, becoming the fifth company with a market value of more than 10,000 Billion-dollar American company.
