Evidence and source

Tesla Short Sellers Gordon Johnson and Mark Spiegel Take Aim at Elon Musk
Published on Jul 9, 2020@ 5:12Open on YouTube

Our summary of the thesis

Strongly Bullish

Structured interpretation of the video, not a verbatim quotation. Check the source for conditions, emphasis and context.

The YouTuber strongly defends Tesla against short sellers, arguing that Tesla is becoming profitable with leverage after reaching break-even, has strong delivery growth despite pandemic disruptions, and will benefit from the Model Y launch and China factory production. They believe Tesla will achieve record deliveries and profits in Q3/Q4 2020.

Key arguments

  • Tesla short interest has decreased 60% since mid-2019 as shorts cover positions
  • Tesla was only down 5% in deliveries during pandemic while other automakers saw 30% drops
  • Tesla beat delivery expectations by 25% despite global disruptions
  • Giga Shanghai will contribute 30% increase to Tesla deliveries in 2020
  • Tesla has achieved profitability and will gain leverage on each additional delivery
  • Model Y launch targets the profitable SUV/crossover market segment

Counter-arguments acknowledged

  • Revenue growth has slowed compared to 2017-2018 doubling
  • Tesla had to cut prices on Model 3
  • Legacy automakers can subsidize EV losses with ICE profits

Hedges and caveats (from the video)

  • The video presents the perspective of short sellers but does not endorse their views
  • The host criticizes short sellers for spreading negative rumors to profit from stock decline
  • Short selling carries unlimited loss potential
  • Past short seller predictions have been wrong (shorts recommended avoiding Tesla at $200, stock reached $1,400)
