Let's end the suspense. If you'd invested $10,000 in Tesla 10 years ago, you would have an incredible $215,600 at recent prices, an annualized growth rate of nearly 36%. Where to invest $1,000 right now?

A tough year for Tesla stock continues after the carmaker reported a 13% drop in deliveries for the first quarter. Tesla shares were down 4.8% at $255.50 in premarket trading. Shares had already fallen more than 33% year-to-date when the market closed Tuesday.

Despite taking a hit earlier in the day from weak deliveries, Tesla (TSLA) stock is now soaring as Elon Musk’s time in the federal government appears to be nearing an end.
