As shoppers look for deals on Black Friday, investors and traders have to deal with a shortened day for the stock market.

Tesla stock was up 1.4% in early trading at $432.69, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average were both up about 0.2%.

Tesla stock has seen 15 Black Fridays since its 2010 initial public offering at a split-adjusted $1.13 per share. Shares have risen eight times and fallen seven times. The stock moved an average of 1.4%, up or down, which isn't all that much for Tesla shares. It has moved an average of 2.4%, up or down, since the IPO.

It looks as if the market's general direction will drive shares this Friday. There aren't any Wall Street upgrades or downgrades, no price-target changes, and no seemingly big news for investors to digest.

Over time, Black Friday trading has barely moved the stock. So Tesla investors might be able to take a day off safely and look for some holiday deals.

The average daily move for Tesla stock since the IPO is up 0.2%. Shares rise 52% of the time. That small amount on better than half of the days has taken Tesla shares from $1.13 to north of $426 as of Wednesday's closing price.

Coming into Friday trading, Tesla stock was up 6% year to date and up 28% over the past 12 months.
