    Tesla Model S limited 40/60 kWh - SOLD

    For what it is worth, I had made an offer for the same car via craigslist. $61,000, with explanations: based on a new 60 kWh's pricing, options, $7,500 Fed tax credit, $2,500 CA tax credit, etc. I still thought my offer was a bit high (really wanted one). But as soon as the seller got my...

    Looking to buy a 40 kWh Model S

    I'm looking for a used (obviously) 40 kWh Model S. Not too particular about options, although I'd like to have the Tech Package. I'm willing to pay up to $61,000 for it. Hit me up if you or you know someone that has one for sale. Thank you.

    Sorry about the loss of your grandmother. May her rest in peace. On the other hand, congratulations on the birth of your second son. I've recently been blessed with my only child, a six months old boy. He is such a joy. As for money (TSLA), it's just money. It will come back at some stage...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    Hello mershaw2001, You are right in saying that some funds will be tied up, since you are short puts. Shorting puts have a risk of being assigned the underlying shares. So your broker will naturally require you to have some funds to be able to take delivery of the shares. When they say...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    Since we are at the upper band of the trend, FWIW, I sold the Oct 4 215 calls for $0.33. I'm also short Sept 27 200 covered calls @ $0.20, which should expire worthless tomorrow. Then the Oct 4 215 calls should then become covered calls. These are just pocket money. Nothing to shout about...

    Random Model S sightings

    Hi Kevin, My wife had sold her M5 a year ago. She is now trying to sell her Mercedes S55 AMG. Both cars are about 10 years old. So time to move on. Right now she drives a Honda CRV, and I drive a Honda Insight. As for our decision making process, it started with my wife making a deposit on...

    "Help I shorted TSLA" via Reddit

    Seriously, anyone that publishes negative articles on Tesla should drive the car first. Same thing with the shorts. On various forums and stocktwits, lots of shorts blab about over-valuation, but have not driven the car. And that John Petersen, the rumor is that he did test drive a Model S...

    Random Model S sightings

    Hi Kevin, Thank you for the compliment. When I moved to Atherton in 2009, I first noticed how many Priuses where there. Then it hit me - Priuses are really economical and nice cars to get around. I mean, these guys need to be pretty smart to make enough money to get homes around here. I...

    Random Model S sightings

    Since we are now talking about the appearances of Model S'es, here is what I see in the San Francisco Bay Area. I live in a town called Atherton in the Bay Area, it's a pretty nice neighborhood. Model S'es started to pop up around here about 6 months ago, before TSLA's epic run. At that time...

    Jesus... The relentless push for all time highs. The strength is amazing, very few dips. Seems like the most recent consolidation period had attracted additional shorts. And the short squeeze is adding fuel to the fire. What a day (so far). Congrats longs. Once it hits 250, I think I'm...

    Musk said its "Not as Crazy to Short Tesla Now, but Still Not a Good Idea". He also said Tesla's Current Valuation Assumes "A Lot of Good Execution in the Future".

    If TSLA closes above $161.88, then it is pretty evident that institutions are supporting it so they can convert the notes to shares in Q4.

    It has been very quiet on this thread here. Posting something just to be sure that the website is still working. Any thoughts on the close today? Looked pretty weak. Although you can say it is the second highest close, which can be viewed as pretty encouraging.

    So this past Sunday I took my wife to the Tesla Menlo Park showroom. The wife already has a reservation on a Model X, which she placed around 02/13, and her reservation number was around 4,000. Anyways, while at the showroom, I was really tempted to order a Model S, 60 kWh, no options other...

    Q2 2013 Results - Expectations and Projection

    Thanks Sleepyhead, for your numbers from Wikipedia. Last weekend I was at the Tesla showroom in Menlo Park here in the Bay Area. Interested buyers drove BMWs and Mercedes there to check out the Model S. If this trend continues in China, then yes, I would share your view that the Model S will...

    My first post. Hopefully others will find it useful. I am quite familiar with the Chinese culture. Just look at my last name. Chinese people really do not have the luxury to be environmentally friendly. Spaces are limited, most live in small apartments. When monthly average salary is in...
