Tesla (TSLA -0.67%) has been a life-changing winner for some investors. EVs are changing the auto industry permanently. But history tells us investors chasing the next Tesla are probably making a big mistake that will cost them. In this video, Motley Fool contributor Jason Hall breaks down why chasing the next Tesla -- just like chasing the next Meta Platforms, Netflix, or Starbucks -- didn't lead to big returns. Also discussed: Rivian (RIVN -2.02%), Lucid Group (LCID -0.96%), Nio (NIO -1.91%), and Canoo (GOEV +0.00%).
