    How did certain people get in the “alpha” group?

    In the 'beginning' we were not allowed to tell anyone/share videos/etc.. You signed a NDA. If you did talk about it here or online they kicked you out. Things have changed greatly over the past 10 years.

    How did certain people get in the “alpha” group?

    This is correct. As someone who was one of the original 500 people nationwide in 2013 to be a tester I can tell you it was a wild ride and sometimes a bit scary. Back then (and it probably still applies) : If you asked to be a tester you would not become a tester. I totally agree that since...

    Elon & Twitter

    Correct. C court appeals go to DE Supreme Court where reversals , while not unheard of, are rare. Twitter/SEC issues do stem from misleading investors (and the SEC) about number of bots, I admit to not having a detailed discussion about all issues Twitter/SEC with my lawyer friends but they...

    One data point. I live (mostly) in the state where C court resides. Have several lawyer friends that know the court well. to a person they think this gets 'settled'. When initially filed the consensus was 'EM is screwed'. With revelations along the way they feel EM in stronger position...

    I don't come to TMC often anymore but being a DE resident with several lawyer friends (DE has a ton of lawyers with Chancery Court here) even one at the DE law firm that is 'helping' in this case. Many of these people like to text me, knowing I hold a large TSLA position whenever EM goes to...

    v11 software update SUCKS

    General comment: The reason many of us long time TMC/TSLA/Tesla people have left this site or only occasionally visit is that when you look to have a discussion on a topic like this people just decide to disagree with a comment, then run and hide despite offering to engage via Pm's about their...

    v11 software update SUCKS

    Then the first one YOU would fire would be Elon. Give it time, they will fix it with the next update.

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    They usually give you 48 hours to report these things and will fix. After 48 hours it is on the customer.

    Peter, In your scenario you would just roll the Leaps up and out and probably collect extra premium for doing so. Again, NOT investment advice. All option systems/investment systems work until they don't.

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

    I know a TSLA investor that sells leap calls once year and lives off the proceeds. Never having to have the shares called away. NOT investment advice and obviously far OTM leaps. (sooner or later he will get those shares called away but at a huge price)

    Upgrading the battery on a 2014 model S 60?

    Good to see you back. Remember you from long ago when we were expecting our S deliveries about the same time in Devon. I do not visit TMC site often anymore but good to know you are alive and well.:cool:

    Upgrading the battery on a 2014 model S 60?

    Google Jason Hughes and Tesla. (wk057)....Is famous for doing things with Tesla batteries and infamous (IIRC kicked off this site) in other quarters. On balance: IF I were in need of a battery I would seek him out.

    Tesla VERY recently stopped using referral codes for TA. You can still use them IF ordering solar/poerwalls.

    Thank you Jerome

    Time to revive this thread. Thanks Jerome for bailing out EM/Tesla on multiple occasions. You will be missed. God speed with whatever life holds for you. (If/When EM steps down from CEO position consider 'applying' for the job):cool:

    As a full fledged member of the 'Theta group' I have been successful putting a 'theta strangle' on TSLA the last couple months. Pick an SP where you believe TSLA will migrate to on a weekly (usually) or longer basis and sell puts (cash covered..I don't do margin) and Covered calls that are...

    Thanks for the 'shout out'. I hope others got into QS as well even though it is struggling today in the $;)115 range. A battery company with JB involved, even as only an advisor looked good to me. never mind the other big names backing it.

    . I have not only been selling TSLA puts and CCs but also AMZN.....you need only sell one put or call to generate the type of $ that TSLA theta decay use to give. EDIT: I will be getting out of those today (AMZN) with ER today.......I expect it will drag market up but up is down and vice...

    I agree with the Andrea push for 'the mount' and the most interesting (aggravating) bit for me that came out of Dave's interview with her is that analysts get 'call backs' after the broadcasted CCs following each ER. They are intended to allow analysts to fact check their numbers/comments that...

    No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Did not make me smarter about S&P inclusion/investing so it MUST have made me one 'wicked good' lawyer! (yeah, I grew up not too far from Boston) And my wife is bugging me to sell before AH closes.......I am resisting. ('resistance is...

    From my TD feed: Shares of Tesla Inc. (TSLA) took a hit in premarket trading, but were still up 1.9%, after the electric vehicle maker disclosed a deal to sell up to $5 billion worth of its stock in an "at-the-market" offering program. Just before the offering was disclosed (Tesla's stock...

    While I live in Delaware my house is on a fairly isolated part of the grid. Prolonged power outages happen 2-4 times per year. I have a similar generator (25kW) that supplies the whole house and I can keep neighbors freezers/fridges going as well (long extension cord!) In addition it is...

    Answered a similar question the same way a while ago (days): Could be worse: You could have put in a deposit for a roadster instead of letting the $$ ride in TSLA..............Today, that money could get you a roadster, a CZ 3 drive, a tricked out '3' or 'Y' and still have money to donate to...

    it took him years to warm up to Apple/AAPL, so probably TSLA will be added by 2030.

    Agreed. Many of us who opposed this acquisition did so because of the timing/price paid for Solar City not that it should not happen.

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

    Yes, roll up and out. Had to do mine yesterday and today. Currently have CCs. $1,800 strike expiry Aug 28......These are trading shares exposed so if needed I will roll to $2,000 tops and let someone have them at $2k early Sept.

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

    The OP 'chose' to sell some of his TSLA and gave his reasons why. I may have missed it where he was trying to scare people (FUD) into selling theirs or indicating that others should simply follow his lead. Enlighten me if I missed the part where he was encouraging others to sell. He was just...

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

    Even with a flawed belief it is their choice to sell. As long as they don't try to tell me to sell because of their beliefs (flawed or otherwise) I am in no position to question their decision as I am not 'walking a mile in their shoes'.
