Just wanted to put out a feeler out there. I'm interested in talking with people who've made 50-100x off of their TSLA investments of at least $100k beginning principal. I think it would be super helpful for many people to hear what these folks were thinking, what they're investment...

People are all focused on the Cybertruck at the moment. But let's talk about what the Cybertruck enables. Namely, a Cybercar that could be announced in a few years. If they can make a Cybertruck that goes 250+ miles for $40k, then I'm thinking they could make a much smaller Cybertruck that...

I just installed a Yakima LoadWarrior roof carrier (w/Tesla roof racks) on my LR Model 3. Anyone know how much range hit I'll experience with this set up?

Tesla will likely announce Gen4 within the next couple years and it will be a barebones robotaxi for under $30k. I don’t have any info that others don’t have regarding this, so this is just my speculation. The Model 3 actually isn’t an ideal robotaxi. It’s meant as a drivers car to compete...

Has anybody heard if they will or will not be offering Model Y test rides at tonight's event?

The shortsellers are relentless in contacting and pressuring the media to publish negative stories about Tesla and Elon Musk, and I wouldn't be surprised if these same shortsellers have contacted and/or put pressure on the SEC to take action against Tesla and Elon Musk, especially in yesterday's...

If you're a SpaceX shareholder, we'd like to ask you some questions to help us understand what it's like holding stock in a private company (or via a special purpose fund) since this could help us gain insight on what it might be like holding TSLA stock in a similar manner. As a SpaceX...

Alright guys, help me out with my thinking here. The key figure in Q1 earnings that was overlooked is how operating expenses are barely increasing. Q1 2018 operating expenses = $1.05B Compared to a year ago Q1 2017 = $925M So in the course of a year, Tesla’s quarterly operating expenses grew...

Hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone else, but the first ever Model 3 motor failure was reported. Basically, the owner had driven his car only 270 miles, and then let his wife take it to show it off to some friends. His wife's friend accelerated kind of hard and they heard a loud thud. And...

Interesting rumor that's coming out this morning. (A bit strange it's coming from Niedermeyer of all people.) HOT TIP: a supplier source tells me Tesla is sending out drawings and specs to solicit quotes for the Model Y crossover. Start of production targeted for March 1, 2020. — E.W...

I’m selling my 2013 P85. It’s truly been an amazing car. Multicolor Red, Tech package, Tan leather interior, Air Suspension. 43,000 miles. Price: $47,000. Prefer local buyer in SoCal. - FULL Xpel wrap (costs $5k+ and if you ask people on this forum who have this, most will say it’s well...

Does anybody know if 17” wheels can be put on a Model 3? I know that 19” wheels are the smallest possible for a Model S since suspension parts get in the way if you go smaller. And I know 19” is the smallest for a Model X (Tesla offers 19” winter wheels for the X). But for the Model 3 I...

Price: $4000 21” Silver Arachnid Wheels and Performance Tires. Wheels/Tires will be shipping to your nearest service center and installed on your Model S. Price includes everything, including shipping and install.

I'm looking to test drive a Model 3 for 2-3 hours in southern California. PM me if you have one. I won't take photos or videos.

I'm looking to buy a Model 3 'priority car", which is basically a car sold to Tesla/SpaceX employees ahead of general production. Looking to buy it now. Please PM me.

I noticed that Tesla sells 19" cyclones for the Model X, and I'm wondering how much comfort/smoothness in ride would they add over 20" wheels? Please only reply if you own or have driven a Model X with 19" wheels. Thanks!

I'm looking to buy some 19" cyclone wheels with tires (these are the upgraded 19" wheels that cost $2500 more when ordering than the standard slipstream wheels/tires). PM me if you have some available. I also am open to trading. I've got some silver 21" turbines on my car right now I could...

I'm selling a set of 21" forged Tesla archanid wheels in matte black. These wheels/tires are brand new and are waiting at the San Diego service center to be installed. I won these as a referral program prize but don't need them (as I already have 21" wheels/tires). Price: $5000 (note: I...

Im looking for somewhere that can install a dash cam on my Model S in the San Diego area. Recommendations appreciated.

I'd like to hear what the risks are in lending out shares (i.e., for others to engage short selling). If anybody has some real and extensive knowledge on this topic, would love to hear from you. More specificially, is there any chance of losing your shares if you lend them out? If so, in what...

I'll be interviewing Andrea James (former TSLA analyst) via Google Hangouts. Feel free to check it out live or you can view the recorded version afterwards. Also, would love to hear if you have any questions you'd like to ask Andrea. Just reply to this thread if you've got any...

(note: I know that there was another thread that was recently posted on this topic, but I'm needing to post a new thread with instructions so that we'll get the most popular questions here asked at the shareholder meeting.) I was informed by Tesla Investor Relations that they will choose some...

1. Take big deposits for a car you haven’t released. 2. Delay the car once. Delay the car again. 3. Hardly communicate with the customers who put down deposits. Make it company policy to tell customers, “we don’t know”. 4. Keep changing things last minute which you know will cause...

I reserved a Model X two years ago and was expecting an invite to a Meet Model X event (Meet Model X | Tesla Motors). But I never received an email invite. It's strange because I live in Socal so I should have gotten an invite since there were several events here. Now it appears all Socal...

We all know that Bonnie has the reservation for Model X Signature #2. She's all configured and now waiting delivery. I'm curious what y'all think as to when she'll actually take delivery. I've posted some choices. Choose one and let's see what folks think.

So today Tesla made a great announcement with the 70D (including navigation and supercharging as standard options). However, they also made a change with the power liftgate that used to be offered in the now defunct Tech Package. The power liftgate is now only available if you select the $5000...

If you're going to be at the Oct 9th event at the Hawthorne Airport, then let's meet up. I think it would be fun meeting people from here in person. The event starts at 7pm but judging from past Tesla events there will probably be about an hour of socializing and hanging out, ie., 7-8pm...

The Wall Street Journal reported today that Tesla has been rolling out high-power wall chargers, free of use. They say currently 106 have been installed since this spring. Where are these HPWCs located? Is there a map of them? Beyond the Supercharger: Teslas Other Charging Network -...

Elon announced a new 8-year drive train warranty applied retroactively to all Model S vehicles ever produced:"The Tesla Model S drive unit warranty has been increased to match that of the battery pack. That means the 85 kWh Model S, our most popular model by far, now has an 8 year, infinite mile...

Here's a new thread to post data points, estimates, info in regards to 2014 Q3 earnings. Previous years Q3 reporting was done of the following dates: 11/5/13, 11/5/12, 11/3/11, 11/9/10 I'm attaching to this post a rough preliminary estimate of Q3 earnings based off of the guidance Tesla gave...

(I started a new thread dedicated to this question posed by Erha.) Hi Erha, this is a very interesting question. I hope you don't mind I made a new post dedicated to this question because I think it would be interesting to hear other people's thoughts. I know there are many differing...

Here's a few videos I found from Elon Musk's trip to London last week to deliver the first RHD Model Ss to the UK market. 1. Vimeo compilation - great Q&A section w/reporters (06:06) Tesla UK Launch Event on Vimeo 2. CNN's Richard Quest short snippet interview (01:56) Musk on Teslas UK...

I was watching a bunch of Model X videos from 2012 when it was revealed and in one interview Elon Musk mentioned that the Model X has an amazing turning radius, comparable to a MINI. I initially thought that this was because of the two motor, AWD system. But I'm thinking that if the rear...

Here's Elon Musk's commencement speech he delivered yesterday at USC.

One of the features I miss from my previous car is the credit card key I had with my Lexus. It allowed me to stick the key in my small wallet and just carry one item. Now with the Model S, I need to carry my wallet and the key fob. It might not sound like a big deal and I'm dealing with it...

I'm thinking I might need to add aftermarket parking sensors (front/rear) since Tesla's retrofit is so pricey. Anybody have experience with getting aftermarket parking sensors installed in Socal? How much did you pay, where and how was the install?

I'm looking to get Photosync window tint installed on my Model S. Has anybody got this installed in San Diego or Orange County, and if so can where you got it installed?

It's almost been a year since Tesla reported blowout Q1 2013 earnings on May 8, 2013. (May 8 stock price closed at $55.79, May 9th at $69.40, May 10th at $76.76 and May 13th at $87.80) Lots has happened since and its hard to believe it's been only a year. Congrats everyone.

I'm going to be flying up for the Tesla annual shareholding meeting (held at 11am on June 3, 2014), and I was thinking it would be fun to get together for lunch afterward with any of you that are planning to attend. If you're interested, just reply to this thread. Also, if you have a...

This was brought up by Theshadows and briefly discussed in the ST movements thread (Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2014 - Page 354), but I'm starting a new thread because I think this is a significant development and worth discussing its implications more thoroughly. Here's what we know. 1...

More specifically, will TSLA hit an intraday high of $280.00 or higher between now and the end of March, 2014? Note: poll ends on March 20, 2014. Votes are made public for entertainment purposes. Do not base trading or investment decisions on this info as it for purely speculative/fun purposes.

The background: I’ve wanted a way where active members of the Investors Discussions group could get together and talk deeper about TSLA and investments. I’d love to be able to meet physically but I figured the next best thing would be to organize some video chats online so we could get to know...

Q4 2013 Earnings will likely take place at mid-end February 2014 (past Q4 earnings dates include 2/20/13, 2/15/12, 2/15/11). This thread is meant to discuss Q4 earnings. Please share facts, interviews, videos, etc for discussion. Please refrain from speculation that’s not based on solid...

With permission of the moderators I’ve started a new thread to post my articles and occasional megaposts on TSLA. With more activity in the investors forums, I’ve had a difficult time of late finding the right thread to post in. So, hopefully this thread will provide that space. In the wiki...

Growth investment videos, books, resources, and blog posts I've shared in various threads some books and resources regarding growth investing but I thought it'd be helpful if we crowdsource a list of various resources that you've found super helpful in your journey of growth investing. Now, by...

(Note: I've edited this post to reflect qualified trading period for note conversion as Q3 and not Q4 like I originally thought.) Recently I've seen people speculate that Goldman could be propping up TSLA to the $161.88 note conversion target price. I wanted to share my thoughts and try to...
