Tesla Stock Closes March with Sharp Rally
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) capped off the month of March by closing at $265.20 on Friday, marking its highest closing price in over two months and reflecting a 10.4% gain for the month. The rise in TSLA stock is largely credited to investor anticipation around Q1 2025 earnings, robust demand for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscriptions, and an infrastructure expansion in its AI division.
The stock climbed 1.5% on Friday alone, fueled by heightened retail and institutional interest. As Wall Street eyes Tesla’s upcoming earnings call, analysts are adjusting their forecasts upward, signaling strong performance ahead.

Tesla Expands Dojo AI Supercomputer for FSD v13
Tesla confirmed a 40% increase in Dojo compute capacity this week to support its next generation of Full Self-Driving software (FSD v13). This move underscores Tesla’s continued investment in AI and its efforts to strengthen its autonomy capabilities globally.
Dojo Expansion Highlights:
• Compute Increase: +40% training capacity

Retail Traders Drive Volume Spike
TSLA was the most-added stock on both Robinhood and Fidelity this past week, according to CNBC and Bloomberg analytics. Retail investors accounted for 17% of total TSLA trade volume from March 25–29, reflecting heightened enthusiasm ahead of earnings season.
Platform Ranked TSLA Change in Holdings
Robinhood #1 +5.1%
Fidelity #1 +4.7%
The surge comes amid Elon Musk’s latest social media teasers about “massive FSD leaps” and investor expectations around Tesla’s role in the global AI mobility race.

Technical Indicators Suggest More Upside
MarketWatch analysts note that TSLA’s breakout above its 50-day moving average signals short-term bullish sentiment. Current technical indicators show the next resistance level around $272, while support is observed at $248.
In the options market, call contracts at $270 and $275 strikes are seeing elevated volume for April expirations, indicating that traders are positioning for continued upside.
⸻
Conclusion
Tesla’s rally to $265 reflects a convergence of bullish sentiment, strong underlying fundamentals, and AI-driven innovation. With Dojo scaled up, FSD poised for a new version release, and earnings likely to exceed expectations, TSLA enters April with strong momentum.
While macroeconomic headwinds and regulatory dynamics remain factors to watch, Tesla’s performance in March positions it as a key growth stock in both the EV and AI sectors for Q2 2025.
