A recent rally in Tesla shares (TSLA) has meant some serious pain for short-sellers who had enjoyed a successful spring betting against the electric carmaker.

Short-sellers betting against Tesla lost at least $1 billion on Thursday alone, according to data from S3 Partners, as the stock rallied 10% following the company's latest quarterly report.

Shares finished Thursday's session at $815.12, their highest close since May 6.

Tesla was little-changed on Friday afternoon amid a broader sell-off in tech stocks.
