It's not very suprising considering so many missteps. Still, very risky business to be short in such amount to make 5 bucks at most while some other sharks smelling too (easily transitioning from killer to be killed).

Vinfast jumped 122% today. Short interest appears to be even higher but data not available. No options available for trade.
I doubt it's high short interest since it only started trading. Is the never coming FSR short squeeze effect?

It's rather the low float that gives excellent opoortunity for some hype and visibility for the owners (look how rich I am!) and exposure for the brand. Rivian 2.0!
