Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock price fell sharply as shares reached the overbought territory after a 60% bull-run since the S&P 500 announced to add Tesla to the broader market index. Its relative strength index has reached 78 levels on Wednesday, while stocks are considered overbought when the index hits 70.
The latest selloff is initially supported by a network outage, but it is not yet clear that an outage would lead to any problems with vehicles. The reports show that users are unable to connect to their vehicles via the mobile app.

JPMorgan says Tesla stock is overvalued
In a tug of war between bulls and bears, JPMorgan doubles down on a bearish Tesla stock performance forecast.
Although JPMorgan analyst Ryan Brinkman appreciated the trader’s strategies of buying Tesla stock on S&P inclusion news, the analyst says Tesla stock is dramatically overvalued. He says Tesla stock trades at 1,325x LTM P/E and at 291x 2020E and 175x NTM.
The analysts also noted that Tesla’s earnings forecasts for the upcoming years declined when compared to the share price rally of 800% in two years.
“The company is led by visionary leadership, backed by a management team with solid functional strength. Although both technology and execution risk seem substantially less than was once feared, expansion into higher volume segments with lower price points seems fraught with greater risk relative to demand, execution, and competition,” Brinkman said.
