Shorting Tesla after it crashes, you truly belong here, all depends on earnings now which have been revised down.

It does not all depend on earnings by a long shot. Tesla’s still-inflated P/E is a reflection of future outlook (“dreams”). If Musk is cornered financially, he’ll become even more unpredictable than he already is. That risk discount will have to find its way into the P/E. So, even if the E meets or even exceeds expectations, the P has lots of room to come down further.
