Shorts are desperate. Current highest Model 3 VIN puts production at 4K/week. They’ll easily hit 5k/week target by end of June.

Usual disclaimer: TSLA shareholder

I feel like it's the other way around. With the market cap so completely out of sync with reality, shorting seems like the safer choice.

The market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent. When the short squeeze occurs, it will incur pain.

Personally, I don’t think their valuation is irrational. They’re not a car company, they’re an energy storage company, the market for which is enormous.
