I already lost a few times trying to short TSLA. My fingers itch again. But why would it be different this time?

Tesla's dirty little secret: Its net profit doesn't come from selling cars

Eleven states require automakers sell a certain percentage of zero-emissions vehicles by 2025. If they can't, the automakers have to buy regulatory credits from another automaker that meets those requirements -- such as Tesla, which exclusively sells electric cars.

It's a lucrative business for Tesla -- bringing in $3.3 billion over the course of the last five years, nearly half of that in 2020 alone.

The $1.6 billion in regulatory credits it received last year far outweighed Tesla's net income of $721 million -- meaning Tesla would have otherwise posted a net loss in 2020.

How to Withdraw Profit From Tesla’s Reversal of Fortunes

Tesla and its stock grapple with five meaningful challenges

By Eric Fry

Tesla is larger than the combined market values of the world’s 10 largest auto manufacturers.

In 2020 alone, Short-Sellers lost $40 billion betting against the stock.

Tesla and its stock grapple with five meaningful challenges:
1. Intensifying competition
2. Withering revenues from regulatory credits
3. Rising input costs
4. Short-squeeze “fuel” running low
5. Overheated “multiple expansion”

Of these three factors, intensifying competition is probably the most serious.

Already, the Volkswagen Group is making nearly half as many battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) as Tesla, and the German auto titan expects to surpass Tesla’s production volumes by the end of this year.

First, one important revenue stream may dwindle to a trickle … or dry up completely: regulatory credits.

During the last 12 months, Tesla booked $1.58 billion of revenue from selling environmental “regulatory credits” to other auto manufacturers. If not for that helpful windfall, the $721 million profit Tesla reported in 2020 would have been an $860 million loss.

Second, the prices of the main metals that make up a BEV are soaring.
