Tesla (TSLA) is experiencing extreme tightness in its securities lending market, with utilization reaching 96.8%. This high level of utilization indicates that almost all available shares for borrowing are currently on loan, leaving very little supply for new short positions. When utilization hits these levels, it often signals that the cost to borrow could rise sharply and that the stock is becoming increasingly difficult to short, which can lead to rapid price movements.
