    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    No reaction in PM, which is still down 2.5%. Maybe the news did not get through yet.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    The last few months I did move FSD posts that were too ‘technical’ to more appropriate threads. But this thread is still full of predictions that FSD developments would be a catalyst, including yours. Good call on that one.

    For call option sellers days like this can be very painful, as some are now experiencing (it could also have been me). Some from the ‘other thread’ are smiling about that pain, which is their right. They don’t like the opportunism here and swear allegiance to the HODL mantra. Their tenacity...

    A perk as a moderator is that we can access all deleted posts. Going back to January 1st I see that no posts about FSD written by you were deleted. Only a post about racism and posts in a CT discussion which turned nasty (not your fault). Major FSD developments can be discussed in this thread...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    People are getting way too personal. The investor thread is a place to respectfully discuss different viewpoints of Tesla’s future. It helps to hear from people who disagree with your own thesis. Investors, non-investors and even shortsellers are welcome, as long as the discussion is based on...

    Those 6 ATM short calls represent only 600 shares, the 100 leaps a whopping 10.000 shares and the 30 puts another 3.000 shares. Aren't you up something like 200k today? I wouldn't mind that kind of hurt :p

    "Automatic driving services based on mapping and navigation provided by [...] Baidu". Doesn't make much sense to me, because that's not how FSD works. I'm glad though I'm not short the stock: no long puts and no short naked calls. Just short some calls on shares I bought at $240 and $290.

    I don't get the enthusiasm in the market. For FSD to work in China Tesla needs lots of Chinese driving data. They are not allowed to export the data to the US for analysis and processsing, and they are not allowed to export to China the AI-hardware to process the data. Those issues need to be...

    Robotaxi? Really??

    Unless the level of this thread moves away from people calling other people (also members of this forum) fanboys, lemmings, clowns and suckers, it will be locked down. I don’t know why all the anger is necessary in the first place, but it certainly shouldn’t be directed at other members.

    The FUD was about Autopilot crashes from years ago, plus the recall. It had a direct effect on the stock price yesterday. That is very relevant. FSD is a different subject and after the big V12 improvement a few weeks ago its iterations do not (yet) noticeably influence the stock price.

    Guys, this is getting really tiresome. This not the place to discuss FSD. And if it were, there isn’t anything that hasn’t been said already. This isn’t just me, several other people have asked to take the discussion where it belongs and they are also being ignored. I’d hate to give members a...

    This is what I could find, but the number isn't split out for FSD and other items: Revenue recognized from the deferred revenue balances as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $281 million and $134 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

    You can BTC them now for less premium than you received, it I remember correctly. But then all the hyperventilating and the sleepless night was for nothing. It does give you peace of mind and you live to fight another day.

    That’s not what I took away from the call. The 25k car, if it ever arrives, is many years out. The new, cheaper cars based on the existing Model 3/Y platform and built on the same lines (which to me means less efficiency because they have to switch between models) will not be 25k. The deck said...

    Maybe they don’t get closed because they have lost all value (like mine :p)
