    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    I fully agree! What has happened to this thread ? I used to read and post frequently on TMC investor threads, but got frustrated. Now I return to have a look again and it is gotten very much worse. This is the action thread, and it is has become a slowchat. I can not keep up with the posts...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    I had the same thoughts as Steve when reading VW was involved. VW probably liked the idea being in the private and having influence on decision (not to mention profiting from increasing sharevalue from sales of cells to .. VW . The timing is interesting. VW recently announced to invest 50B in...

    Not sure if this have been suggested already (Busy times, can not keep up with TMC foum :) ) I would like to suggest all Tesla investors to make noise to remind the SEC they should not allow people who want to hurt shareholders to use the SEC for share price manipulation. We have all seen so...

    Holding shares in a private Tesla outside the US

    Interesting thread, thanks for starting it ! I own my shares via a Dutch broker named "DeGiro" and it worries me that I could not vote. Maybe the shares are registered on the name of "DeGiro"and not mine ? That could also give problems to stay shareholder in the private company. I dropped...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    From what I read on Twitter and on Seeking Alpha (once every 10 comments but sometimes even in the articles) the bear thesis has recently moved to hoping / praying for a SEC investigation, or an announcement of one. A SEC investigation that several bears are actively trying to trigger using...

    Elon Musk vs. Short sellers

    Just been reading the court filing, and read about the lawyer Tesla hired. Tesla for sure has proof, it would not risk not winning this case or even bringing things up in that filing without being able to prove them. And that lawyer is very well known, just read up on him yourself (see below)...

    Wanted to post in support of Curt, one of the reasons for me to read (and sometimes post) on TMC. Note that the person calling Curt a coward is himself hiding behind anonimity.

    22% bijtelling boven de €50.000 vanaf 2019

    Ik heb mijn Model-S in December 2013 gekregen, en dacht nog 5 jaar goed te zitten met 4% omdat de 5 jaar verstrijkt in de laaste maand van het 4% regime. Nu vertelde mijn boekhouder mij gisteren dat ik mij vergis, en dat de aanpassing ingaat met het regime van de eerstvolgense maand de NA...

    Wow! On the other hand, maxpain more often shows weird numbers that later jump to more sane ones. Btw, for us TSLA holders in Europe the US$ - Euro rate was finally nice to us last weeks. ( improving more than 3 cents after losing 20 cents over the past year :-( )

    To add to Yggdrasil's post. I applaud the investment VW is making, but am curious how the VW employees will respond once they realize this 48B is spend to replace their in-house ICE motor production while spending a significant part of that money it to outsource battery cell production. (at...

    The deadline stated in that article is 2040 (!). These car manufacturers do not have to worry at all about this law blocking them to sell their hybrids, as they will no longer offer them or be bankrupt before then. Their anger about this proposed law just shows how much they are in denial.

    That is from another company : DRÄXLMAIER - Solutions for the Premium Automotive Industry not from Grohmann. They seem to do wiring harnesses for batteries, power distribution boxes etc. Possibly a machine to produce wire harnesses, but probably not a Grohmann line.
  23. Gerardf

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Yes, and I like to think that Tesla board is also very aware of that. Personally I think this is a signal that the Grohmann line is (finally) installed and assembling packs.

    Edit : Huang River is a daughter company of Tencent Holdings 8.337.594 + 9.500 is exactly 8.347.094. So as I understand 8.347.094 is the total he owns via these companies.

    Such partnership is a very smart strategy. There is no standard for MW-level chargers and this way these key-customers among the large fleet buyers will standardize on the Tesla chargers (and peak-load buffer batteries). It will be hard for the big-semi competition to enter these customers once...

    It is not shares he gets, but stock options, the right to buy these shares in the future at current price fixed at $350,— each. So if he reaches the marcap milestones using dilution instead of higher share price, he gains much less. In the exteme example that he dilutes so much that the...
