COMPANY founder and CEO Elon Musk may not mention Tesla Motors Inc's stock price when his electric car company gives its latest financial update this week, but it will be front and centre for investors divided over its seemingly rich valuation.

After a rally that ended in April, Tesla's market capitalisation is currently about US$31 billion - equivalent to US$620,000 for every car it delivered last year, or US$63,000 for every car it hopes to produce in 2020.
