Wow did this turn out to be wrong. Was able to close these out at a 80% profit. Can't believe it fell after that beat.

I wrote 700-strike covered calls against my shares yesterday when it was trading at around 650. The premium was so not worth it at this point with that beat... :confused: I think it could have a multi day run, especially if other earnings are good. Does anyone have any advice on how best to...

Getting this out is somewhat cathartic as I haven't been able to tell anyone about this. Here goes... I've been an all-in investor in Tesla since 2013. I'd built up a pretty significant stake of about 1k shares (pre-split), but for a number of personal reasons I won't get into now, I had to...

For those of you who were invested in AAPL way back in the day... There was an instance (perhaps even two instances) where Apple issued some kind of official interim notice that they were essentially going to blow out their own sales forecasts for the iPhone. Does anyone know the name of...

Yes. Dave has interviewed Emmet Peppers a few times, and he's doing another one live in about an hour. The series has been a great watch.

Thanks!

Might be a dumb question but is there a way to save posts? On twitter, you can bookmark things. Not seeing that functionality here.

Definitely liking the long-form (mostly) well thought out discourse here vs. twitter!

Great insights and thank you for sharing.

Moved over from the Twittersphere. Already recognize some names. Good to be here.

Seems like a good time to bring back the referral program, but in a different form. Give a potential buyer a test drive, and if they purchase the vehicle you get something in return (could be sc credit, apparel, $$). I've already seen people on twitter talking about hosting weekend...

It is bananas to me that a well known short seller has posted the transcript of the call, and Tesla IR has not released an official transcript or more simply an audio recording. Every Tesla shareholder should send them a copy of this (potentially doctored) transcript and lodge a complaint...

I’m going to keep saying this until everyone gets it: the hate on the internet is being amplified 20x (at least). There are companies out there that will create fake accounts and harass anyone and everything that is against a certain perspective. This happened first in politics, and is now...

I'm hoping someone on this forum can get their hands on their full report. I think Munro said it costs something like 70k for it (thats not a typo - 70 thousand).

What some may define as lacking professionalism, I define as being authentic. In any case, the apology is out. Looks like he sought legal advice (note the equivalence of the ‘stick it where it hurts’ as a sexual act vs. the pedo allegation) I would love to not have to talk about this again...

Good article: Elon Musk 'pedo guy' faux pas fuels polarization problem And came across this great post on twitter from Bonnie Norman, who I think used to be a moderator here (emphasis below is my own) This should be how you do twitter: "Get your coffee. This is going to be a thread...

Respectfully disagree- the pedo comment was over the top and he should have to apologize for it. No one forced him to add the personal insults and make those disparaging comments. He could have just as easily fought back without calling him a pedo, and the doubling down on it. Maybe he did...

Fair enough

More people seeking attention, and more media seeking clicks, are going to continue to snowball this story until Tesla / EM makes a statement or does something. Of course Linette Lopez re-tweeted this.

I understand you think you're doing the right thing, but price action today is without a doubt related to the Twitter controversy. Posts should really be allowed to continue here.

Mod: can’t see how this isn’t relevant to market action but feel free to move Elon Tweeting about Thailand and Reputation The twitter outrage is what is precipitating the price drop. I believe there are algos that trade on things like sentiment, and this is really taking things down.

Brit cave hero Vern Unsworth reveals he is considering legal action after tech tycoon Elon Musk dubbed him a ‘paedo’ The more times I watch this, the more I think he's actually guilty of something.

Just highlighting the cyberwar that is being waged on him. I'm not disagreeing with you. His response was inexcusable.

Case in point. Check out this random account tweeting hardcore abuse @elonmusk out of nowhere. And there are thousands more like it that are hitting the @tesla @ElonMusk twitter newsfeed every few minutes.

7 News Sydney (@7NewsSydney) | Twitter Ok, wow. I just watched the follow-up interview with Vern. He looks VERY, VERY uneasy about these allegations. I would be very surprised if he does any further interviews. Suspect he'll stay out of the limelight and look for some kind of quick settlement.

If this is your take on the situation, then it is truly misguided. You obviously don't know all the facts. Nevertheless, this is the narrative that the general public is likely to take on. And it's pretty much why Elon should apologize. Even so, the second part of your post is crap and you're...

Have to agree with this point. The coverage of the cave story is global. This goes far beyond just the Elon/Tesla/Space-X bubble most of us live in, and it has the potential to have a long-term impact. Another valid concern. There are likely thousands of lawyers begging to take this case...

I've been an investor in Tesla for over 5 years. I've been reading the Electrek site since the very first article Seth published. As my investment in Tesla grew (in both absolute and relative terms), so did my interest in Elon Musk and all the industries he's involved in / is looking to disrupt...

The tracker says 2332 when I load it. You’re seeing 3k+? Am I seeing out of date info?

Just adding on here... Can we also remind ourselves that they don't even spend money marketing / advertising? They're anti-selling until they know they can ratchet up production on all fronts.

Wild guess, to be honest

But what proportion of the 400k+ reservations do you think are in the united states? My guess - 65% US / 35% rest of world

I don’t really see them sacrificing their ability to hit guidance for awd. Think they’re just behind. Hope not to try and paint a rosy picture out of (somewhat expected) disappointing news on the ramp.

Been a while since I’ve posted and checked in, but has anyone been talking about this video from jaguar? I watched the video and I genuinely think they’ve nailed it with the iPace. It could practically be a Tesla ad (albeit some notable differences like the supercharging network). I for one...

This is also a concerning point for me. Is there a possibility for this to be used against him in some kind of lawsuit?

This should remind us of the bias we seem to have within this community forum.

Careful with the markets today my friends. Though nvda earnings were solid, buying power looks a bit weak premature (in my view). Stay cautious. I foresee an early market pop with a further sell off as markets come to a close. Edit: *a bit weak premarket

I don't know a lot about setting up manufacturing lines, but 'just taking it apart and moving it over' seems to me like an immense over-simplification of the entire process. Does anyone have an idea of what kind of work is required to take down a line, ship it across (not to mention all the...

I think a part of the problem is that even Elon is now starting to doubt himself. Everything he says sounds tentative. I have to admire his ambitions (all of the above you've listed), but it's hard to have the same level of confidence I do now as I did before. That's not to say the long term...

I second this sentiment exactly. And I am a huge Tesla/Elon Musk fan, but I didn't like the way he was answering all of these questions. I get that he just launched a Roadster into space, but (1) he waffled on far too much, and (2) his tone was rather condescending. Granted, some of the analysts...

What do you think it would take from the ER and subsequent call for the removal of uncertainty/clarity to happen? I'd like to see customer deposits top 1.2B and the existing ramp schedule confirmed, but with the current ramp schedule being alluded to as almost 'conservative' - would love to...

What’s your WAG for the SP movement post ER? My WAG- sell off into market close, price dips further after ER, goes up (towards breakeven on the day) after the call when he talks about tesla energy backlog + deposits Edit: and model 3 progress is in line with prior ramp guidance (target 5k per...

Am I the only thinking that this is an incredibly positive development (and in such a big way) that people aren’t even quite grasping it yet? Payback period in under a year? I don’t know how many markets have the dynamics of Australia, but even if this is remotely close for anywhere else then...

Is anyone else thinking that (in a long shot scenario) if the FH launch goes to plan, and there is an original Tesla Roadster zipping it’s way through our solar system at 11 km/s, that it would be worth hundreds of millions dollars that would pay off exponentially over time in marketing dollar...

The fear that I have with this is in the short sellers. These guys will roast someone alive using Elon’s flamethrowers if it means distracting him and/or making him look like a horrible person. I fear someone is going to be gravely hurt (even if just by accident) and it’s going to be a PR disaster.

That’s because they are purposefully not pushing hard on the solar front. They’re anticipating the solar roof tiles to be the mass market product, and for now they are taking a step back and setting the foundations for explosive growth once they are in production.

J Like Matthew Debord from Business Insider? The guy posts a hit piece once a week and the odd semi-positive story just to save face from appearing totally biased. I wonder if we should have a thread that tracks the authors that seem to have a anti-Tesla bias

Another hit piece by Lora Kolodny. CNBC really seems to be going after Tesla. Wearing my conspiracy theory hat, almost has me wondering whether there is a concerted effort to keep the stock down pre-ER on the basis someone can continue accumulating at these or lower levels. The question is...

I believe the extended waiting period has more to do with the pending refresh than it does a spike in demand. Though I could be wrong (hopefully) and it has more to do with people hearing about and seeing the 3 in showrooms, and actually going out and buying the S

Is anyone else baffled and confused about this flamethrower? I’m all for fun and quirky ideas, but this seems to me like it’s inviting absolute disaster. Or have I missed something and this is all just a joke?
