Stock market graveyards are full of people that shorted TSLA. I remember reading about people who lost it all because of a TSLA short at least since 2020. The lesson here is that markets can remain irrational longer than we can remain solvent. |

In those cases, it usually revolved around Tesla releasing either the Model 3 or Y, and they were betting against Musk's execution in general. What wasn't really up for debate (in my mind) was the technological lead or the demand in the marketplace for the car.
Essentially, Tesla was primed in both situations for a huge market they had to themselves: electrified transport.
Now?
- demand is tanking, and the brand is permanently damaged, well, as long as Musk is at the helm.
- competitors are everywhere
- technological moat (with respect to EV drivetrain/construction) is gone. I could argue their cylindrical cells are legacy/semi-obsolete in fact, since IMO pouch cells are superior for LFP/sodium ion, and who knows what solid state will optimally package.
Anyway, things are VERY different in my opinion.
