Okay, I'll play: Split to occur on Fri, Aug 26, 2022 after the Close of the regular trading session. Dividend shares to be tradable beginning Mon, Aug 29, 2022.
If the 2022 TSLA split pattern is repeated, the naked-short squeeze starts in earnest on Monday in the Pre-market (when shady brokers can't scratch up enough shares to cover the rightful holdings of their beneficial owners). Here's a chart from the prior split during midday trading:

Aug 31, 2020 finished the day up >18% intraday, going from $439.11 at 09:25 (just before the Open), then continuing to rise even after the Close to $516.79 at 4:42 PM, as brokers who were caught short-handed fought with Retail and others looking to front-run the Squeeze:

So now the outstanding issue is, looking forward from 2022, does Tesla
need/want to do another cap raise on the back of a SP bump (recall that newly-issued shares rescued shortzes in the pre-Market on Sep 01, 2020). Or, can Tesla afford to just let the SP run?
Of course I say
let it run, baby! Burn da shortzes, Elon!
