Well, well, Mr Musk has decided to pull a new Twitter trick to lower the share price. It worked temporarily enough for him to sell and save a bit on his tax bill. No worries, share price will go back up, I don't doubt it. Could he do that again though? I was hoping to load up at 950 and it...

Congrats! Hindsight is 100%. If you'd bought Tsla in early January 2021 and sold on Q3 day, you would have lost $50/share and swore never to buy Tsla again. I have friends who also bought early and became millionaires along the way. Yes, Tsla has done exceedingly well and I sure wished I'd...

I've actually done quite well with TSLA over the last couple of years although I've missed out on a couple instances of wild fervor, once when it hit 900 early this year and now as the stock hit 1094. They say, "let your winners ride". Maybe next time. I don't see how trading skills and...

Thanks for the feedback. Some in TMC think I'm a short seller, because who in their right mind would criticize Tesla?!? But it's precisely because I believe in Tesla that I'm willingly expressing my tough love. I keep going back to Apple as the model to follow (I own an android but, you get...

Pat on the back, 806 on 10/06. I really would like to see an 850 in November...

https://teslamotorsclub.com/2021/09/27/understanding-the-decline-in-teslas-fsd-take-rate/ You can't make this up, it's so predictable. I'm just glad Tesla doesn't depend on FSD to make its quarterly earnings look good enough for the stock price to climb. But seriously, I couldn't read through...

Well, I have some great news to report. Musk seems to finally realize that marketing has a purpose in retail business. I saw the YouTube video promoting Tesla glass and have to say, it's fantastic! Slick, detailed, down to earth, pragmatic. Great work. Now we need other such videos to explain...

"Broken promises and unmet expectations"... if you read a lot, like I do, you've probably come across that label describing Tesla quite a bit lately. It seems to resonate with the media and I suspect a paid agency is responsible for getting these words used again and again whenever Tesla is...

Onto another subject that I've addressed before but that is now taking on a more dire urgency in light of the devastating Northern California fires that are destroying entire towns... Traditionally, power is delivered from a power source through lines and eventually to homes. While the power...

Wow! 1300 positives despite all that Musk negativity? Who says TMC is a fan boiz club!?!

Well, looks like we didn't have to wait very long for price reductions on FSD, although I expect this is just the beginning of the pricing reversal. Look for the now $1000 to be waved, or rather removed altogether. Also, watch for steep discounts on the $10k or the ludicrous $199/month app fee...

Get ready for the first visible and ferocious push back from the newer crop of Tesla owners who are finding that the FSD they paid for is just not enough to get them the new FSD that just came out, $1500 short, as a matter of fact. I don't know who makes those decisions at Tesla but that was...

Interesting news I read today about the cost of insuring EVs in general and Tesla vehicles in particular. The backdrop to this news are tied to my concerns with the technologically impressive, production efficient and cost saving, single cast front and rear ends now available on the new Tesla...

Tesla just closed down 2.8% today, on news of continuous QC and safety issues (including a new lawsuit), but more specifically on the news of one of the new Plaid bursting in flame while driving. That sucks for the driver of course, although he is safe and uninjured, but it really sucks for...

Actually, trolling is what you just did.

It's been a couple three months since I last wrote about my favorite source of frustration. Elon's Trump like devotion to Twitter and their similar nonsense is baffling, particularly since the SEC has already pretty much banned him from the medium if he tweets anything remotely tied to his...

Congrats dude. This is a great opportunity to reaffirm your commitment.

Well folks, as I humbly acknowledged erring in my prediction, please allow me to gloat for a minute. My prediction was correct but only off by a couple of months. Tsla did drop to 500 from its high of 900 when all the groupies and gurus were predicting 1500. I don't expect cred for this and in...

I write this as the share price is further dropping, now at 642. I imagine a lot of retail stockholders are glued to their favorite YouTube talking heads, looking for any sign of confidence or uncertainty to help them make another emotional decision. I can't wait to see our righteous early...

Well, I may have cut myself short on this one, with Tsla suddenly dropping to 670... hard to explain the reasons for the selloff, from Musk buying 1.5B Bitcoins, mouthing off again on Twitter, another terrible report from JD Powers, Porsche talking efuel,... I suppose all these could be the...

Looks like I was wrong about Tsla share price at end of year through end of 01/2021, which has be holding steady within an 820 to 880 bracket. I'm not a short trader and usually laugh off those who are, particularly with Tsla. I paid the price for selling early. I think the S&P membership has...

2021 Tesla Model 3: E1 - First Impressions:

Although I've already replied to your question, here's a recent article about Norway, which will be the first nation to be fully electric by 2025. Their fantastic achievement is a result of strong government intervention and determination to move away from ICE vehicles. You would think that...

And another Germany's Largest Union Prepares Battle Against Tesla: 'We can endure a long fight'

And here's a most recent one: Tesla’s effort to build a new Gigafactory near Berlin has had a few hiccups, but it seems to be going smoothly overall. However, it looks like the automaker might have to battle with IG Metall, a powerful union in Germany. Elon Musk came to Berlin earlier this week...

What is most worrisome is how dismissive Tesla fanboys are about the serious QC issues. It's no longer possible to justify this because "it's a new company"... The same cars have been built for 10 years. Not everyone owns Tsla shares and will negate anything that could affect the price. I...

Clearly you're having difficulties following arguments. I never brought up how much Tsla was months ago, you did, to make some nonsensical point. After the split, TSLA dipped significantly, but the share price rallied back to the mid 400s from Sept to mid November, not "a couple of weeks", and...

S&P induction is having the predicted effect of taking the stock price to new highs. It is time to rejoice, at least until the whiplash. Because we all know that the price will drop back, do we not? I call it 500, maybe lower but no lower than 450, before the end of the year. For those who...

Well, disagreed with by 42 members and found funny by 6.... This may not be the reason for that, but I was on the money. ;)

In other news.... Some time ago I ranted on another thread about Musk's $5B slush fund, which I believed was taken to manipulate and flatten the share price after having been dissed by the S&P. My reasoning was that rejection was due to the volatility of the stock and institutional...

Thanks for the long and thoughtful reply. First, to answer your question, no BEV currently generates more demand than Tesla vehicles. That's a great thing and it's even better if it translates into higher stock price; that's why I'm invested in Tesla after all. But we know that sales volume...

1. I'm not a short seller 2. I don't want to start a new thread every time I want to write about Tesla. 3. I have nothing to hide and anyone willing to read my posts can argue my various issues/concerns. 4. I want Tesla to succeed and its stock price to continue rising, my retirement depends on...

Wow! How a propos was my point above... Article: Tesla hires head of Mercedes-Benz factory, German union gets weirdly mad about it - Electrek Tesla hires the former head of a Mercedes-Benz factory near Berlin just after having fired the head of its Gigafactory Berlin project. The local union...

So we learn that, again, Tesla is having problems securing timely permits for its German Gigafactory. Frankly, I don't know who suggested building a factory in Germany in the first place (they ought to be fired), but at the end of the day Musk had to approve the project and thus owns the...

Now that Tesla is without a PR team, Musk is left to tweet about everything Tesla, much like Trump does with government. Like everyone else, I was really interested in his new mega machine used to mold the entire front or rear of Tesla vehicles. To eliminate dozens of parts is a manufacturing...

I agree with the need for standardization, which is coming, so that's not even in question anymore outside the US. But the same governments who will mandate standards will also make electric outlets ubiquitous with standardized delivery parameters and even perhaps prices. Remember that in...

So Q3 came and went... Stellar results, great media feedback. And yet, the share price is stuck in the 400-450 bracket. And the groupies whine that Tesla is so misunderstood. One point for me to make: those who bitch the most are the Originals, a sizeable chunk of shareholders, who bought 2+...

And what is that supposed to mean? What makes you thing I'm a short seller? I want to see Tsla at 500+ like anyone else, but not in 12 months or more and I'm sure the expectations at Battery Day was to see the share price at 500+. The split has brought in a lot of quick profit traders who sell...

Oh yes, you can certainly blame Tesla for the disappointment. The PR and marketing teams job is to ensure such events are on target, meaning they address what the fans, the investors and the larger public of potential buyers want to hear. The presentation should have addressed all the...

What is the Supercharger Network? It's like GM having GM only gas stations... How long do you think before government steps in and tells Musk that his Supercharger Network must accommodate all EVs... It's already doing it in Europe. Is it a substantial source of revenue for Tesla? I don't...

I think Musk showed some great battery tech at Battery Day, except the presentation was absolutely awful, a "let's just wing it" kind of event that the world had been waiting for with great expectations since March! But did he talk about the misnamed million mile battery (should be called the...

I'm a big Tesla believer and have put a substantial amount of money where my mouth is. That doesn't mean Musk is without reproach. Yes, the Almighty makes bad decisions that ultimately affect the share price negatively. I'm not talking about Musk blowing weed out if his butt or insulting those...

Thank you for not dismissing my points outright with Tesla pompom fluff. I'm a committed Tesla trader and thus look at Tesla the company more so than Tesla the car manufacturer. In fact, I spend on fair amount of time on other chat sites to emphasize that Tesla is more battery manufacturer...

We're talking 2 different things here. Tesla the car company has competition from the high end market (Porsche and Lucid if it ever comes to production) and general market from VW, Renault, Kia, Hyundai, etc.). There are also privately funded research companies working very hard on the future...

Well, VW is onboard with several vehicles after several years developing their platform. It's not as good as Tesla's but suggesting no one is working on solutions is really short-sighted.

What has to be said is that as an engineer, Musk likes to talk shop and is driven to squeeze efficiency in everything he builds. For the first time ever, a CEO is willing to come out a shine the light on manufacturing and it makes all the tonka toys boys in us glee with enthusiasm. But this...

It's only real when you sell.

Well, I wondered if, as a Tesla trader, it would make sense for me to join this website and thread and, having just read the pre, during and after Battery Day presentation comments, I must thank you all for the good laughs. Some thoughts: Tesla fans will find no flaws in Tesla or Musk who can...

Yet I'm not the only one linking the 2...

Hello, new to this site and thread but I do post on another site that is more about trading than about Tesla. I'm a recent Tesla investor/day trader and, like all of you, look forward to the coming days. A recent event however did succeed in getting me pee'd off with Musk... The timing of the...
