When looking at a visual comparison between Tesla Motors and General Motors regarding their stock values, the very first thing that one would notice is that Tesla's stocks are very inconsistent compared to GM's stock values. The graph also shows that although Tesla has higher adjusted closing prices overall, the company does better over time, and although it has moments where the stock value price goes down, Tesla does better than GM.

By looking at the chart above, it is clear that NASDAQ is doing dramatically better than Tesla, and although they show more inconsistency (with the price going up and down throughout the time intervals), the value of their stocks have started out and stayed consistently higher than Tesla's. It is not a very reasonable comparison, since NASDAQ is the second largest exchange in the world, while Tesla is a relatively new start-up company.
