Still the same calculation since you'll be able to by 26/15 as many shares as you would buying it at the current price. That's true. If you are happy at getting in at $14.05 regardless of potential downside from there, it is a pretty good strategy. And if it never goes below $15 you just...

The current stock price doesn't really have much to do with the return in this case since the strike price is $15 and that is where you will buy in if your puts are called. First let's talk about selling 'naked' puts in which you are not SHORT Telsa shares. If you happen to be long Tesla...

Hi Patrick, I drive a Roadster 2.5 (EU #0476 ) and am from Mill Valley too... but alas I live in Tokyo now so won't be able to go for a drive anytime soon :-( Enjoy your car, I know you are going to love it!

I stupidly did not get any 'before' pictures, but here is what it looks like after painting and apply contact paper. The P and R buttons look a bit strange in this pic but that's just glare. In reality they look pretty much like new again. Before this was done, the center of the D looks...

My sills, both right and left also got some small cracks in the center toward the rear of the sills. Basically right around where you would put your hand down to lower yourself into the car. The suspicious thing of course was that the cracking was in the exact same spot on both sills. I...

The silver paint on my Roadster's shift buttons, especially the 'D' and 'R' which tend to get pushed the most often, started to wear off and it started giving my center console and old, tired look. Over the weekend I took a whole afternoon to repaint them and then cover them with clear contact...

Yes, now that you mention it I did have a lot of fond memories with that car too! Mine was a yellow one. It was a bit embarrasing picking up my prom date with it though... would have been nice to have had either of my Roadsters back then (had they existed)

Let's add a bit more description to that: Coda $39,000 100 miles, small, cheap, slow, looks like a$$ (somebody said that on here somewhere) Model S $49,000 160 miles, gorgeous, luxurious, modern, quick, spacious, aerodynamic makes you wonder what those 8 people who bought Codas were thinking!

Two black Roadsters -- my car and Penpen's car so not exactly random. We drove around Tokyo on Earth Day, had lots of people checking out the cars!

At first I thought maybe Al and Ed's had got hold of it. Would have taken some pretty radical surgery to make it look like that though!

Yesterday Tesla installed Toyo's entry level performance DRBs ( 225/45R17 91W) on the my rear wheels. I was just dying to experiment with something cheaper and quieter than the $440 installation included that Tesla Japan charges the stock Yokos. The DRBs cost just $130 each + about $60 per...

Last month I took my Roadster in for its first annual maintenance. The car was in great shape, needed only a new windshield wiper. Over the first year of its life a number of minor problems did occur however. Here is list of what I can remember from the first year / 6500 miles: 1)...

This seems like one of the best deals on a used Roadster 2.5 out there --- can't tell for sure from the pics but it looks like it has an upgraded interior with CF as well as the CF lip on the exterior. Forged wheels as well.
