It seems past time we can finally admit Tesla (TSLA 3.06%) has officially made it. Not only did the young automaker prove it could design and manufacture quality vehicles, it made driving an electric vehicle exciting and, dare I say, almost fashionable.

The market is coming off two superb years, 2023 and 2024, when the S&P 500 climbed over 53% in total, mainly thanks to tech and artificial intelligence (AI) stocks.

Investors have been patiently waiting for Nio (NIO -4.21%) to post explosive delivery growth for years now.
