    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    I was in a fed call (with Fidelity) 2 weeks ago and can confirm you have until Thursday to settle without penalty. (I ended up closing the BPS that got me into the call after a lot of its value had eroded away.:)) Good learning experience for me as I never paid attention to my SMA balance before...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    I'm also at Fidelity and last week was able to get my commission for options trades down to $0.45. All it took was a simple ask of my regional brokers consultant (no negotiation involved) and it took effect the following day. If you are in private client group and your options trades are...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    I’m also at Fidelity and like you, I used to only look at the House surplus number and ignore the rest. But I unexpectedly found myself in a Fed call (negative SMA balance) this weekend after opening a large bps position right before close on Friday. I’m fairly new to margin so apologies if...

    Rivian delayed again (now Sep for R1T, 2 month additional delay)

    I just saw an R1T in the wild tonight here in Orange County. Second one I've seen in socal but first one was while driving the other way. Nice looking truck, although I still prefer the Cybertruck (which I've also seen in person and is much larger). You can see on the rear pic that it has...

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

    "Volkswagens Mobile Charging Robot - vision becomes reality" Lol this cheap gimmick from VW. Reportedly max capacity of 25kWh. If this is the best they can come up with, they are in serious trouble.

    trading

    I’ve always been a long term share HODLer with call options on the side of various time expiry’s depending on pending catalysts, but I have considered going from shares to LEAPs before. If I’m not mistaken, didn’t TSLA investors who were in all LEAPs from 2014 to early 2019 get crushed during...

    Stealth, you're giving away your age here... OG started as hip-hop slang "Original Gangster", referring to someone that was the originator of a particular style or mannerism. But now it's become mainstream and refers to anything old-school, authentic, or classic.

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

    I used to think this but then realized, active fund managers who don’t understand Tesla (most of them) will want to add TSLA to minimize their risk against the index and then try to beat the index with other positions that they do understand.

    What other tech stock to consider?

    Chamath's Social Capital Hedosophia SPAC's so far only go from IPO(A) through IPO(F). G hasn't started trading yet. I don't think there's a public schedule for the later SPAC's to come out. IPOA started alone (merged with Virgin Galactic), then IPOB (opendoor) and IPOC (Clover Health) started...

    What other tech stock to consider?

    I'm also at Fidelity, and don't know if you're aware, but just because you've filled out an indication of interest to participate in the ABNB ipo, doesn't mean you'll get shares. If you've ever gone through trying to get ipo shares through Fidelity before, you know it's pretty difficult to get...

    All discussion of QuantumScape QS

    Completely agree. If you’re happy with the size of your TSLA position, it makes sense to “hedge” by lookiother EV related positions. No doubt Tesla will be the big dog, but they will probably have 25-35% of the mature EV market, so that still leaves a lot of the pie to be carved out... QS on...

    Problem with ignoring is that it doesn’t get rid of the replies to an ignored post. And then I sometimes wonder what that reply was in regards to and I end up clicking on “show ignored content”, so in the end I end up burning more time than I would have if I didn’t ignore! Maybe you could just...

    It’s been impossible to keep up with this thread. Would be nice to have a separate locked thread that is just a re-posting of all the best/most informative posts of the day without all the filler. Problem would be finding someone to volunteer for this job. (I would if I was retired.)

    Frunk closure issue

    Thanks! Glad to hear it’s a relatively easy fix (bummed to hear this might be a common problem). I’m not the most handy person in the world and I don’t want to mess up my beautiful new ride. I’m already scheduled for a service visit for the panel gaps, so I’ll just wait and not use the frunk...

    Frunk closure issue

    I took delivery of my Model Y yesterday and found 2 panel gaps, 1 involving the driver door (minor) and the other along the front hood. The second is much more obvious and the concerning thing is that after I got home I discovered my frunk didn’t close properly. I have a model S and a 3, so I...

    Anyone from Southern California given a VIN or taken delivery of a Performance Pearl White MY yet?

    Took delivery of my white with black interior Model Y PUP today (Mar. 31) in Santa Barbara (they said mine is the 5th white Model Y they've delivered so far). It looks stunning in white with the black wheels, tinted rear windows, and blacked out chrome. Unfortunately I have 2 panel gap issues...

    Sad to hear the passing of an NBA legend at too young an age. This is one of his quotes that can be applied to TSLA longs... “Learn to love the hate. Embrace it. Enjoy it. You earned it.

    Supercharger - Redondo Beach (LIVE 20 Jan 2015, 8 stalls)

    Might be quicker to exit Rosecrans blvd East, especially if in traffic (I am sure there are plenty of locals in the area that can advise) When going south on the 405, getting off on Hindry would be quicker than exiting Rosecrans (and both quicker than exiting Inglewood. But be aware that...

    Actually, while I was charging over the holliday weekend, there were 2 ICE's in Tesla only spots. Both were issued "citation warnings" by mall security. I asked what would happen to repeat offenders and the reply was that they would get "real" tickets from the city, and would have to go to court...

    license plate frame

    I just picked up my car at the factory on Wed. When I got the car, it did not have a license plate holder attached. Apparently they ran out and switched suppliers, so some of the cars being delivered now do not have them attached. They are back in stock, and I went over to service and they gave...
