}}Energy production and consumption are responsible for 76% of annual human-caused greenhouse gas emissions<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />, and Tesla is on a mission to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.<ref name=":3">https://www.tesla.com/about</ref>

The company sells and leases high-performance fully electric vehicles and energy generation and storage systems, and offers services related to its products. Tesla emphasises performance, attractive styling and the safety of its users in the design and manufacture of its products and is continuing to develop full self-driving technology for improved safety. The company also strives to lower the cost of ownership for its customers through continuous efforts to reduce manufacturing costs and by offering financial and other services tailored to its products.<ref name=":4">https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1318605/000156459021004599/tsla-10k_20201231.htm</ref>

Assuming that Tesla increases its share of the automotive market to 10% (from 2%) and other assumptions, the expected return of an investment in the company over the next five years is negative 24%, which equates to an annual return of negative 4%. In other words, an £100,000 investment in the company is expected to return £76,000 in five years time.

The degree of risk associated with an investment in Tesla is 'high', with the shares having a beta that is 112% above the market (2.12 vs. 1). Furthermore, Tesla's shares exhibit a 'high' level of liquidity, as evidenced by its bid-ask margin of 0.0297%.

Accordingly, based on the assumptions provided on the Stockhub platform,  an investment in the company is considered to be a 'suitable' one for you if, among other criteria, your required:
* Return level is negative 4% per year or less in absolute terms;
* Risk level is 112% or more above the market risk level;
* Time horizon is five years or longer;
* Bid-ask margin is 0.0297% or more; and/or 
* Objective is to help accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.

'''Fun fact:''' Tesla, Inc. was named after inventor Nikola Tesla and was founded in 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, not Elon Musk, who joined later as an investor and chairman.
