The short version

In October 2025 Chris Sain listed Tesla among the quality stocks to buy more of on declines. In December 2025 he said a test of 470 depended on a pullback first, and he was looking for 500 by year-end. In January 2026 he argued that Tesla's pivot to FSD and robotics could take it to 500. In April 2026 he cautioned it could fall to 250. In May 2026 he said it might take off if it held 400. In July 2026 he noted a post-earnings drop that could open the door to 358. In August 2026 he set a 370 next-week target, unless events intervened.

How to read this

Quotes are short excerpts from Chris Sain's public YouTube videos, attributed to the speaker and linked to the timestamp. “Close that day” is TSLA's split-adjusted closing price on the day the video was published (New York time); if markets were closed that day, the last close before it. If the stock has split since a quote, the card shows the price it traded at that day and, beneath it, the split-adjusted close the % change uses. “Since” compares that close with the latest close on 2026-10-19. It is a price observation, not the creator's realized return, and not investment advice. How the price change is calculated. Next to it we show SPY, the ETF tracking the S&P 500, over the same two dates — so a move can be read against the market rather than on its own: why we compare with SPY. Each quote also carries a label — Named as a pick, Risk acknowledged, Reducing — describing what kind of statement it was: see what the labels mean.
