Think I answered that in my post you quoted. $1000 is too low for me to consider. I am a long term investor, I don't have hundreds of shares and I don't have a problem waiting for several years.
If I were offered $1000 for those Tesla shares in 3 months, I'd say no. To equal what a hypothetical $3000 /share would be worth 5 years from now, I'd need to somehow reinvest my shares @$1000 a piece in an investment fund that gave a 22% annual return. I've accounted for daily compounding as well. Not a good deal really nor realistically going to be achieved.
