Congrats DaveT. You must be pleasantly surprised. If I recall correctly, you had speculated you would not receive your car until January or February even after configuration.

Congrats Dave. I'm curious, were you ever able to get that test drive you were seeking?

Anyone get this week's edition of Tesla Weekly?

If it's way out of price range of the typical family in the US then how is it already (almost) the average price? Remember, Elon said that even the base model would be highly compelling. Average U.S. transaction price hits record $34,077, Edmunds says We are also ignoring the rebates and...

We're down $70+ from our high and the first production model 3 rolls off the line tomorrow. Not sure where the short term bottom lies, but I have started adding to my position.

Yes, it was nice to see TSLA do a 180 and end at 360.

Without Elon there wouldn't even be a Bolt or a Leaf.

Correct, they can sell to close, but it won't impact me. It just means someone else owns that contract now.

Thanks @Johathon Hewitt and @neroden for your words of wisdom. This is exactly what I was looking for, thoughts and considerations, not specific buying or selling advice. I've been trading options for about 3 years now (infrequently) and have had the most success writing call options, and...

Anyone else tempted to write Jan19 100 puts (or similar)? They are fetching a premium of 13.75 which means that TSLA would need to be below $86.25 in more than 2 years to lose money. Like @neroden, I would only do this cash secured.

Part of me thinks the new product announcement might be a Tesla-only ride sharing platform. We know from MP 2.0 they want to develop a phone app to summon a car and release your car to the autonomous fleet. Why not release this platform before full autonomy is available? Give a greater...
