Tesla
has been in the red for a long time.
But many investors were not deterred by this - on the contrary.
Tesla shares
have
been marking
new highs for
years
.
Many value investors, however, saw the development with increasing enthusiasm.
Instead of betting on possible future earnings, value investors evaluate companies using classic key figures such as operating margins, price-earnings ratios or free cash inflows.
Them had
Tesla
nothing to offer long time.
This attracted numerous
shortsellers
.
You bet on falling prices.

Tesla: CEO Elon Musk pokes fun at shortsellers
In the
meantime, so many shortsellers have invested in
Tesla
that Group boss
Elon Musk
poked fun at
the industry collectively.
In addition, the
carmaker offered
extra-short shorts with the golden
Tesla
logo and the S3XY label in the summer.

Die-
hard
Tesla
fans went over the satin shorts in wicked red at a price of $ 69.90.
Barely five minutes after
Musk

Tesla share

Tesla Short Shorts: “What did you do with all that money?
It looks like
Musk
has to
please
some shorts fans.
Because
according to
a report in the
Financial Times
, many customers are still waiting for their delivery to this day.
"
Tesla
can not deliver five months after the order," said a customer of the business newspaper.
"What did you do with all the money?"
According to the report, many customers received an email a few weeks after ordering, in which they were put off for a delivery in the fall due to the high demand.
But on the
portal,
many users complain that they have not received the S3XY panties to this day.
But customers who the automaker from
Palo Alto
in California has provided with a delivery also have to be very careful.
His "first short shorts", writes a user in the relevant thread on Reddit, were "stolen from the courtyard".
A second delivery was "thank God on the way."
