Tesla's Path to a $2 Trillion Market Value by 2025
Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) have shed 26% of their value year to date. It's partly because of a broader sell-off linked to unfriendly macroeconomic conditions and company-related issues like supply chain restraints and factory shutdowns, which have halted production in recent quarters. The electric vehicle (EV) leader eclipsed a market capitalization north of $1 trillion at the end of 2021, but it now carries a market value of around $842 billion.
As long-term investors, however, we should be less concerned about short-term noise and more focused on the long-term trajectory of a business.

Let's examine the EV juggernaut's current situation and discuss its potential path to a $2 trillion market value by 2025.
