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

    It certainly seems silly to get in now on a +15% day... does this stock have down days anymore?

    Installing the official Tesla model 3 roof rack

    Did they revise the manual recently? Now the recommended torque is 2.5-3.5 Nm. https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/model-3-roof-rack-owners-manual-en-us.pdf

    Buy high and sell low is not a winning trading strategy. If you believe in the fundamentals of the company which have not changed then it would not make sense to sell now unless you cannot afford to be down because you're leveraged in some way. P.S. not advice. :rolleyes:

    Can anybody explain what the squeeze could look like? I did some reading on the VW/Porsche squeeze which was a result of massive options being accumulated by Porsche which lowered the shares available to trade to lower than the short interest. How does that compare to the current situation? Did...

    "Will be an option to add solar power that generates 15 miles per day, possibly more. Would love this to be self-powered. Adding fold out solar wings would generate 30 to 40 miles per day. Avg miles per day in US is 30." - Elon

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

    Remember people made fun of "phablets" and the name "iPad" and the Model 3's minimalist interior at first. These types of polarizing designs/decisions will always be controversial but if it's well thought out which Franz's designs have been so far it will be accepted and normal after people get...

    The funny thing is that you're just as sure it's 10 years away as Musk is that it's 1-1.5 years away. I think it will probably happen sooner rather than later, given the advancements in silicon that have happened enabling more complex neural net models. Maybe instead of 1.5 years it takes 2x...

    Conversely if Tesla had raised during Q4 last year they could have raised $5B with a $1.52/sh dilution going from $370->$368.48/sh. Imagine what shape the stock would be in now, but hindsight is always 20/20. Edit: prounouns

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

    $200 is a hypothetical discount price to potential investors, not saying Tesla would offer that much discount. But it wouldn't make sense for them to do an equity raise too close to actual SP otherwise investors could just buy at the open market. It wouldn't change the value of the open market...

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

    A $2B equity raise at $200/share would dilute current SP by about $2.67. It would be nice if they just did that instead of watching the SP slide on its own. ;)

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

    I think they should bring back every option that was removed that is within reason cost-wise to further differentiate from the Model 3. Can't remember all of them but I know they've taken away things like the pano roof in favor of just an all glass roof, dual chargers, etc.

    Yes for all the people saying that the design is timeless, do you really think buyers are going to be ok with the current style unchanged going into 2025 and beyond? It has to change at some point. Soon is a good time.

    Not according to Motortrend: "The Model S is built on an older architecture, so it can't support the full 250 kW of V3. But after an over-the-air update, the Model S and Model X will be able to juice up at a rate of 200 kW at a V3 Supercharger. Additionally, if you plug into a V2 Supercharger...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    All true but I imagine if he did create some sort of holding company like Alphabet he would split out the functional parts of his businesses into separate entities for accounting and organizational purposes similar to how Samsung and other large conglomerates operate. For example, SpaceX has a...

    Estimated delivery page changed in UK

    Same here in the US. I think this means the received their quota for LR/AWD cars so they're putting orders on hold until after the Q4 2018 deliveries are over to prevent people from getting upset if they miss the full tax credit.

    Two many EV's in one home?

    I was thinking that same setup. Would most likely want all 5 vehicles charging at the same time (between 2AM and 6AM) so they can be driving with almost max range from the start of 1st shift. So what you guys are saying is it would be feasible with a high amperage circuit breaker. Thanks

    Two many EV's in one home?

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I couldn't find anything relevant. Say I want to start a taxi service using only Teslas. What would be the best way to charge a small fleet of 4-5 Model S's about 235 miles of range in ~4 hrs every night? Could a qualified electrician install a breaker...
