description: "$Tesla(TSLA.US) I own two Teslas myself, but for some reason I just wanted to short Tesla. The long and winding road to break even on my Tesla short position finally ended today! From margin calls to forced liquidations and margin top-ups, it was the longest journey to break even I've ever experienced... I advise everyone to control their hands and think carefully before making a move! Leaving this note to record my longest journey to break even."

- **钢铁纪律 · 2026-04-06T22:57:40.000Z**: Pretty good. The main reason for the 2x leverage to cause slower break-even is due to wear and tear.
  - **1111006** (2026-04-06T23:09:38.000Z): What is wear and tear?
  - **于龙龙** (2026-04-07T02:41:44.000Z): Yeah, I'm totally confused by this wear and tear.
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-04-07T03:16:10.000Z): I've also played with TSLL before. It's like if your current 10.8 corresponds to 350, you can only break even if it drops to 250 and then returns to 400.
- **阿波呲滴 · 2026-04-06T19:51:52.000Z**: Dare to think, dare to do, awesome👍
- **梦在夏天同学 · 2026-04-06T18:01:40.000Z**: 500k?
- **富途momo · 2026-04-06T17:56:15.000Z**: Why bother hiding your portfolio value? It can be calculated in a second.
- **脆皮大学牲 · 2026-04-06T17:49:32.000Z**: Daring to short with a large position, I salute you as a real man.
  - **于龙龙** (2026-04-06T17:50:52.000Z): Forcing it... I always feel like Tesla has nothing left...
- **清风拂醉月 · 2026-04-06T17:43:21.000Z**: Impressive, man
  - **于龙龙** (2026-04-06T17:47:21.000Z): If you had shorted and re-entered earlier, that would be awesome...
