Toyota held 1.43% stake in Tesla in July 2016
Toyota spokeswoman says all Tesla collaboration has ended

In 2010, Toyota acquired a $50 million stake in Tesla as automakers were competing to introduce less-polluting vehicles in the U.S. and sold a shuttered California factory to Tesla for $42 million.

I'd say they got a nice return on investment. IPO price being $17, Toyota probably got a lower price by doing the deal before the IPO at around $8-$12 per share. Still hurting over this one. I raised $20k at the time the stock went public but was unable to acquire any on opening day.

When you consider that TSLA is at $380 a share right now I'd say they made a very nice return.
