Without a doubt, Tesla is one of the companies of the S&P 500 that raises more expectations, and it does it for both good and bad.
Many of its detractors consider it a bubble, either because of the demanding ratios it quotes (P/E of 376, P/B of 28 or P/FCF of 75), because of a rather mouthy CEO, or recently because of the increasingly strong competition in the sector; from the brands known to all, in the process of electrification (Volkswagen Group (VWAGY), BMW (BMWYY), Mercedes-Benz de Daimler AG (DDAIF), General Motors (GM) or Ford (F)), as the new automotive companies that are strongly pointing in this direction (Nio (NIO), Xpeng (XPEV) or Li Auto (LI)), without forgetting the problem of the shortage of microchips.
On the other hand, the lovers of the brand defend Tesla as a pioneer in this type of technology, with a groundbreaking business model whose figures also accompany, and is that in the last quarter have broken record production, deliveries and net revenue. Nor can we forget Elon Musk, who, no matter how much controversy he generates, is a true genius.
No wonder the indecision generated even for Bloomberg analysts who follow the brand, in which 34.7% recommend buying, 33.6% maintain, and the remaining 31.7% sell.

In a presentation to the SEC, the SEC has revealed a short-term position against Tesla worth more than 534 million.
