    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    A friend who works at tesla thinks they will keep the amount price at 35k for a long time but I doubt it. Put me in the camp that believes demand will be strong enough that simple supply/demand will dictate they raise prices (which will help pay for the next variation of car which will...

    Have 10K to invest- TSLA good long term play?

    Its one of the best long term investments out there imho. The group of people working at tesla is amazing and because of how many people want to work there the interview process is pretty insane and results in top notch hires. I think scty might be a better investment at these levels and I will...

    My guess is he does not see very much risk in taking it private because he sees the value in solar city. The sale of everdream (the last lyndon start up) provided the capital needed for elon to keep tesla afloat. I imagine by the time space x needs funds that can't be raised elsewhere Elons...

    Please no buyout Mr Musk. Just give me a few more months of these crazy low prices and keep it public! I know out of the money leaps would be instantly without value. I believe your assessment is pretty close on in the money options

    Yes when I read the press release it sounded exactly like management said they would be doing in the last conference call monetizing more than the entire cost of a projects in the very beginning.

    They definitely have a strategic alliance. From scty helping with the design of the power wall to scty being the first company to install power packs. Looks like buffet is aware he is betting on the wrong horse. Warren Buffett: Solar and Wind Could | Greentech Media

    How Tesla Managed to Alienate Their Most Loyal Customers

    This! I don't know the whole story with that guy but being a small business owner who is very flexible I have had about 5 customers over the years that I have had to cancel my business with. I understand Dave T's frustration and he feels that by canceling that order it could be a snub to the...

    It's not the most expensive every time as illustrated up thread where a user said in Texas they are very competitive. That being said or speaks very highly of the company is they are able to be the number one installer by volume while having the highest price and lowest installation cost.

    You are So wrong here! You seem to think that solarcity will install all of this storage for free to the consumer. I think there will make money on every storage system installed before the added on grid Services. So just so we're clear if you're a solarcity shareholder the sooner solar systems...

    All good questions. I hope they give some details on Silevo and where they are at.

    In my mind it's clearly a make only with almost zero chance of a break. They're planning on cash flow positive by the end of the year so planning on cash burn at previous rates is not believing in management (which I know you feel has been deceptive at times). While they may be "locked out"...
