Tesla’s market value exceeded a trillion dollars

Car rental company Hertz has ordered 100,000 vehicles from Tesla as part of an ambitious plan to electrify its fleet.

The company said in Press release The first segment of Tesla’s Model 3 sedan will be available for rental from Hertz in major US and European markets starting in early November.

The announcement comes just months after Hertz fled the country bankruptcy.

After the purchase was announced, the electric car maker’s share price reached $998.74, increasing its market value to more than $1 trillion before the price fell again.

By the time the market closed, its price had risen again, reaching $1,024 per share, bringing the company’s market capitalization to $1.01 trillion.

The electric car maker is entering the big club with other companies that have a market value of more than a trillion dollars, such as Apple, Microsoft and Amazon.

The deal represents the largest single order for electric vehicles, with revenues of $4.2 billion for Tesla.

The news also indicates that the Model 3 became the first electric car to top the monthly sales charts in Europe in September of this year.

Earlier this month, the company reported record sales in the third quarter, despite a chip shortage affecting the auto market.
