Options traders are blasting red-hot Lordstown Motors Corp (NASDAQ:RIDE) today, after news that the electric vehicle (EV) company is selling its Ohio facility to Foxconn, a Taiwan-based electronics company. Lordstown Motors has been struggling with supply chain issues and material costs, and leading up to it, the general consensus was that the company's short-term survival hinged upon this deal. 

Still deep in penny stock territory, today's blast higher has RIDE rebounding from yesterday's record low of $1.50. Up 52.6% to trade at $2.30 at last check, the stock remains down roughly 68% year-over-year. It's also worth noting that this volatility has stock landing on the Short Sale Restricted (SSR) list.

Meanwhile, short interest represents a hefty 23.2% of the stock's available float, or over five days' worth of pent-up buying power.
