Tesla on Monday reached the $1 trillion market cap for the first time.
Tesla becomes the fifth US company to join the $1 trillion club, after Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet.
Its stock soared to a new record high after it crossed $950 during the trading – up more than 9 percent.
The rally came after the US-based rental car company Hertz on Monday said it has ordered 1,00,000 Tesla vehicles (worth at least $4.2 billion) by the end of 2022 as part of an ambitious plan to electrify its fleet.
The move includes a new EV charging infrastructure across the company’s global operations.
