Tesla is overvalued and its profits will peak soon as competition in the electric vehicle market increases. That's according to Jim Chanos, founder of Kynikos Associates LP, who said Monday he's still shorting Tesla Inc. (TSLA) - Get Report . "We think the competitive environment is only going to get worse for them," Chanos told CNBC's Scott Wapner on "Halftime Report." He added that other companies such as General Motors Co. (GM) - Get Report are making big bets in EVs and autonomous driving technologies.

Yeah because a price war is so bullish. Chanos is still way up on his short.

Wonder what’s the pain point to force the shorts to cover? $185 or $220

What makes you think it’s one specific point?

None. I’m not sure. Guessing what will cause the pain to start and snowball the short covering.

It’s a continuum, just like people’s buy-in prices. And it depends on how much ability you have to wait it out (and they have A LOT). The only thing that would cause a panic imho is if the whole market started a strong and sustained recovery, and they‘d feel that Tesla would be washed up with it, even if the performance started to deteriorate. And it will deteriorate. But if the weak market continues for one or two more quarters, bad news about Tesla will eventually come out and there will be no general momentum to stop the drop.
