Tesla (TSLA) stock hit a record high of around $1,219.50 during the extended trading period.

Notably, the company announced that the Non-Tesla Supercharger pilot program will be available at 10 Supercharger locations in the Netherlands. By opening up the supercharger stations for non-Tesla drivers, the company anticipates accelerating electric vehicle adoption around the world. Moreover, Tesla is the leading electric vehicle company in the world with the most number of deliveries per quarter.
It is also interesting to note that the Tesla company celebrated hitting and surpassing a $1 trillion market cap late last month. Investors are very optimistic about the company’s future growth prospects, moreover, now that it plans to onboard other EVs on its supercharger program.
“With this pilot, 10 stations are now accessible to Dutch Non-Tesla EV drivers via the Tesla app (version 4.2.3 or higher). Tesla drivers can continue to use these stations as they always have, and we will be closely monitoring each site for congestion and listening to customers about their experiences,” the company noted.
Tesla continues to amaze Wall Street and its critics who cite the associated risks over and over. Last year, the company unveiled the Tesla Short Shorts after TSLA stock rallied against all odds of critics’ calls.
