I'm considering shorting TSLA via puts before their earnings. Still lose money if TSLA doesn't drop enough because of collapse of IV. No doubt. I was looking at either selling call spreads or buying put spreads. The premium is extraordinarily high. I agree though, I don't see how they have a positive earnings or stock reaction with how the stock is currently priced

I haven't even looked at the options tables for it. Just thinking out loud. Will probably not. Never had any luck shorting AMZN. TSLA probably the same. Thanks.

My experience is similar to mrentropy... better to buy bear verticals... buy OTM call sell ATM call or buy ITM put sell ATM put... limited gain limited loss... sure to win if you're right about TSLA would drop.
