Tesla eclipses the combined market value of Ford and GM

For the first time in the company's history, billionaire inventor Elon Musk's electric car company Tesla's stock increased 5 percent to take the company's per-share price to 492.14 USD, with a total market capitalization of 89 billion USD, more than the combined value of General Motors and Ford at 50 and 37 billion USD respectively. GM and Ford still far outweigh Tesla in total numbers of sales.
