By the way, regarding the short-squeeze side of things, while the percentage of float shorted did drop quite a bit during the recent rally, it seems to be flattening out now at around 20%.
And in absolute dollar amounts it actually seems to have reached a new all-time-high.

While I haven't personally experienced them, TSLA is no stranger to short squeezes, and I wouldn't discount the possibility of one happening again, I'm not counting on it, but it could be a nice bonus.
I've seen a lot of people mention the VW squeeze of 2008 in this context, though I think the situation is quite different since in that case there was a merger happening, and there were literally not enough shares to close those positions.
I do think that if a major player decided to start buying up TSLA shares, that might contribute to one (like the unlikely event of Apple deciding they want in after all, or Blackrock adding a lot for their new environmentally conscious strategy).
And if Tesla posts the required amount of profits to be listed on the S&P500, which might happen this year, I believe that could create a lot of demand for the stock by index funds being obligated to buy in.
