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

    Who needs them to cast doubt on Q2 production? We're quite capable of GIGACASTING doubt all on our own!

    Yeah, got one of those from Fidelity too. Made my 'spidey sense' tingle.

    Elon's exaFLOP house. THE place for brilliant hobos!

    TSLA is down but NKLA is up, on news that they may be patenting 'uphill' next.

    I thought Lucid had access to Saudi deep pockets?

    The track getting all 'prettied up' explains at least a part of the delay.

    The wise course would be to not attempt to be more restrictive, but after seeing what's happening with voting rights, I don't have a lot of faith.

    My take on the "Voltswagen" saga, is that initially it wasn't a joke, started to quickly become one on the internet, then actually became one, per Volkswagen, to save face.

    Looks like the SEMI is coming sooner. I wonder if it's going to use 4680s? It'll have a voracious appetite for available supply if it does.

    Looks like 669 and some change is it for today, until after hours I guess.

    Your assumption is correct. Lora 's connotation was that it all was merely for Tesla's benefit, to make itself "look good".

    I thought this was a mattress spring, but now I see it's a boxcar spring and it's(nearly) fully compressed. Woe unto the shorts sitting on it when the hold down wire is cut!

    Hmm... Factual and non-hyperbolic.

    Almost assured the reasons we're going to have to wait a year is, single piece casting, integral structural pack design and brand new body and interior.

    If you're an MM, sell hard, couple thousand shares ought to get the truck...er ball rolling downhill, then scoop up a big bunch on the cheap from the 'weaks'.

    I was hoping for 3x battery cell manufacture throughput, shooting for the moon at 4x. They're going for 7x! That's straight jacket territory!

    All this wailing and gnashing of teeth! Even wall street's gonna figure out that Tesla just further distanced itself from the already lagging competition. These industries really should NOT be giving Mr Bolt a head start.

    Isn't the idea of a roadmap, telling us how they plan to get from here to there? Now that I see the way, I'm glad they didn't keep their mouths shut.

    Musk really did the S&P a solid. I'd find it downright dirty if they left him hanging.

    A thousand pardons goddess of felines, but I must insist we hold out until Tuesday! The prophecy(and the Europeans not being able to front-run stock access) demands it! :D

    Like V.I.K.I. from I Robot, Johnson's logic is undeniable....unprofessional....unbelievable....uninterruptible....

    Man, anybody having the troubles of the types I'm having with Fidelity? In what was supposed to be a simple clerical change to our brokerage account(multiply the shares by 5, divide the share price by 5) has turned into a nightmare! These brilliant people had managed to pull 2/3 of our shares in...

    I also think the Saudi's wouldn't want to part with Lucid. My feeling is that they'll want to turn Lucid into the 'Bentley' of electrics and that they may be willing to burn a lot of money to do it. Especially if it means undoing Tesla's past rejection and outdoing them in specs.

    I thought it was 7000x5? Oh well...:(

    Remember, the sustainable energy revolution is likely to be well underway upon your return, so you'll have to come back as 'captelectric'. :D

    Uh well, that kinda was NOT the point?

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

    What the heck is with these 'elegant pull away' types?! Does anyone not know how to modulate an accelerator pedal anymore?! It's easier in a Tesla than it is in an ICE car because the behavior is so smooth and linear. Made up BS like this, just to negate a Tesla advantage, burns my buns.

    Agreed. Gotta allow time for the requisite handwringing.

    It even poked through the veil for a second to $1500.55 before getting smacked back under.

    Reeking..er.. Seeking Alpha's Mo has always been to muddy the waters with FUD when it comes to Tesla. I've always thought of them as a bunch of mudderfuders!

    4.6?! In a dual motor? Somebody wake that dude up. Oh, and tell him to charge his battery.

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

    Would like to retire the 15 yo Sante Fe at the end of this year and reward Tesla(and ourselves) with the purchase of a new Model Y(and some solar panels). Retirement wasn't looking so keen before, with both of us barely clearing 85k after 20 yrs in our respective 401ks. We decided to take the...

    Interesting. I used the interactive question/answer thingy and it said no dice. Should I just go straight to a person then?

    Hot hamit! Fidelity says IRS won't allow loans against IRA accounts! Guess I'll just have to sit tight and wait for the climb.

    How many 'tens-of-months' before Henrik even makes a viable car? Unless, of course, he uses his SUPER battery! I hope he doesn't just GIVE AWAY this superior battery tech, like Nikola!:rolleyes::)

    Not sure why Trevor is showing this truck again. People familiar with Nikola are well aware of the existence of this vehicle. The questions surrounding whether a prototype existed, pertained to the Badger pickup truck, as that was the one they were taking real money on.

    Yes, while Intl Professor is technically correct, he is also 'threadographically' misplaced.
