The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Standard both dropped 1.9%.
It was, honestly, a good day to be overweight Tesla in a profile. What is curious regarding Tesla stock is that the same declaration became true about half the the time the market dropped over the past year.
Coming into Wednesday, the S&P 500 had gone down just greater than 100 trading days in the past year. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLAstock has risen 50 times on those days.

The loss for someone who held the S&P 500 only on those same days would have had to do with 46%.
