> What most Tesla shorts fail to recognize is that Tesla has already gotten to the point that if something really really bad where to happen, any number of well capitalized tech firms would scoop them up in a instant (looking at Apple in particular).

Maybe -- or they could wait to buy their assets in bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy is precisely when a well-capitalized buyer might buy Tesla.

If TSLA fell that far, the shorts would get paid.

Yes, or even if they bought Tesla before that because it was in "trouble", the shorts would have paid out.

No potential suitor in their right mind would buy a car company whose main factory is in one of the most heavily regulated areas in regard to air pollution.
