But should you invest in a stock that is preferred mainly due to the cult following of its owner? Let’s take a look at the facts & figures around Tesla Inc.
Tesla is not just a vehicle manufacturer or a clean energy company. It is a brand built around the value of innovation & research with the nuanced business leadership of Elon Musk.
Musk's stellar track record of building businesses such as Zip2 Corporation, PayPal, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Hyperloop, and others can be a solid proposition for investors looking to buy TSLA stocks.
Apart from this, Tesla is investing heaving in R&D and has vehicle service centres, supercharger stations and self-driving cars. Tesla's automotive sales represent most of the company's total revenue.
Fun Fact: Tesla recently became a part of the S&P 500 US Index.
Tesla launched its IPO in 2010. There were 13.3 million TSLA shares up for sale at $17 per share.

Long story short, yes you can buy Tesla stock from India in two ways that are direct and indirect. The first way is to buy the Tesla stock yourself using a brokerage account.
There are Indian apps like Cube that allow you to buy US stocks and you'll have to go through the KYC flow and the LRS process to be able to buy TSLA shares. The RBI allows Indian citizens to invest up to $250,000 through the Liberalized Remittance Scheme.
On to the next way that's indirect, through mutual funds. International mutual funds are equity funds that invest in shares of foreign companies like Tesla, Microsoft, and others.
Investing in these international mutual funds will allow you to gain exposure to Tesla stock indirectly with no upper limit to the amount you can invest. Here's an example of these international mutual funds as handpicked by Cube's advisor Wealth First on the Cube Wealth app:
Banking on a company built on the underlying principle of innovation and design can be a tempting proposition. At the same time, the historical returns indicate that the TSLA stock has done well.
But some experts cite the presence of Elon Musk as the primary reason for Tesla’s continued growth. If that’s the general consensus then Elon Musk’s controversial comments & actions can pose a threat to investors who have bought TSLA shares.
Historical growth & benefits seem to indicate that TSLA is a good bet. But factors such as your risk appetite, investment goals, financial health, and more can determine whether you should invest in TSLA stocks.
