No, but the only one with a cap this big. Sure, there are tiny companies with crazy stuff happening. You have another example of another company with a two-digit billion dollar market valuation that sees anything remotely like this kind of volatility?

Some of these are pretty volatile: https://www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/guid/5A570E78-23CD-11E...
Tesla is also unusual in having an extremely large P/E compared to the typical S and P 500 company. That means it's being valued on future expectations, not present realities. Expectations of the future can swing much more wildly than those for present based businesses.
They act as though Tesla is the only company in the world that has stock fluctuations, short sellers, bad press etc. It's never that the company was bleeding money in a quarter, saw a significant decline in ARPU, had to borrow money again, purchased SolarCity at a massive loss and has an erratic CEO who promises the world and fails to deliver. No it's a conspiracy involving dozens of large companies.
