Tesla is facing a parking nightmare.

The car company just overtook General Motors and Ford to become the most valuable American car manufacturer, and it seems that frustrated Tesla employees know where those profits should go.

Over-packed, wild, trapped and crowded are some of the words used to describe the parking disaster at Tesla's company parking lots in Fremont, California, and the Palo Alto, California, headquarters.

Around 6,000 employees cram their vehicles into every nook and cranny of the 4,500 spot lot, with some drivers so desperate for a spot that they just leave the car hanging off curbs, it was reported on Tuesday.

The situation is so bad that a presumed employee launched an Instagram account to capture the craziness that staff has to face every day when heading to work.

So far, there are 130 posts spanning back to around 10 months that shows the parking nightmare Tesla is going through.

The owner of the account asked people to send in their 'experiences' by direct messaging them on the social media platform.

The parking lot is basically a free-for-all and cars are seen packed in like sardines into every area of the lot, paying no attention to parking lines.

Even bicyclists aren't immune to the problem as racks are so full that bicycles are left hanging from chain metal fences.

The problem links back to Tesla's rapidly growing staff and it seems that the company hasn't made accommodations for the newer hires.

Musk, the billionaire CEO, is working to fix the issue, reported the Wall Street Journal.

Despite being just a fraction of the size of its competitors, Tesla Motors is now the leading automotive company in market capitalization after soaring shares over the past few months.

Tesla shares shot up by more than three per cent to $312.39 per share - compared to GM's valued at $33.97 and Ford's which are worth just $11.25 per share.

Even though, GM sold more than ten times as many cars as Tesla last year, who sold just 76,000 compared to General Motors' 10 million. Ford sold 2.6 million in 2016.

So how did a niche, electric car maker which sold less than a million cars last year and has had just two profitable quarters to date, come to be valued more than competitors ten times its size?

Well its appears Wall Street are betting big on the notion that Tesla is set to become a big player in the automotive market as electric cars and autonomous driving vehicles grow in popularity.

It's advanced technology means that Tesla also has the potential to enter other markets, such as car-sharing worth $10 trillion as well as a $1 trillion logistics market, and a $2-$3 trillion energy storage market, according to Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas.

Tesla is also venturing into solar panel production, it unveiled a range of sleek and streamlined solar panels designed to blend into roofs.
