Disclaimer: not an expert. I think if you own enough of a publicly traded stock, you need to report any changes in ownership. So you could estimate the breakdown from these financial statements.

For example http://ir.teslamotors.com/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1494730-12-5&CIK=1318605 shows Elon Musk owning 27203237 shares. Google Finance tells us there are 114.52M shares in circulation, so 27203237/114520000 = 23.75% ownership.

Except for Elon, looks like most all of the big holders are Mutual Fund companies and Investment Companies (including Hedge Funds), with Fidelity, by far the largest - disproportionately large for their size, even though they are very big. Mercedes stands out as the largest non Mutual Fund company.
