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

    When Moody's did their credit rating increase in January (conveniently the day before Q4 results), they used up to Q3 2021 results. For the financial factors they listed to further upgrade, two of the interesting ones were these: - sustained EBITA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, and...

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

    In the report Q3 Adjusted EBITDA is 23.3% while Q4 is 23.1%, which at first looks like a drop in EBITDA growth, which the algos might not have liked. Some quick math on the adjusted EBITDA backing out the one time payroll tax hit from Elon’s options. Adjusted EBITDA Q4: 4,090m Plus Elon’s...

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

    If you look at Tesla’s 50% growth rate guidance averaged over “several years”, you get pretty close to Elon’s goal of 20m vehicles per year by 2030. Obviously in some years they will do more than 50% or less based on timing of new factories etc. but it gives a decent projection out to the...

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

    The other incidents last year after the rebalancing were changes made because of mergers and acquisitions, or spinoffs of companies already in the index, so the committee had to make the changes after the rebalance due to the timing of the events. See the excerpts below: NEW YORK, Sept. 17...

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

    If they did announce it tomorrow, could they also ask the European exchanges to halt trading on Monday while the US markets are closed so that all trading can resume at the same time on Tuesday? I don’t know if there is any precedence for this, but seems like an option to avoid some volatility...

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

    For those wondering about options, the OCC posted their memo yesterday about how options will be affected by the split: 5x the contracts, 1/5 the strike price, so they are treating this like any other split for options. Thanks @willow_hiller for sharing Apple’s memo the other day...

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

    The V10 update is getting rolled out in Canada today, but doesn't include Smart Summon. It took a long time to get regular Summon after it was released in the US, so wouldn't expect it anytime soon for Canadians. Will be interesting to see what European countries get it and when. V10 in Canada...

    V10 in Canada - what will it come with?

    Canada VIN thread and Delivery Thread

    I'm picking up the exact same configuration from Calgary on the 14th! VIN is also 1071XX. My DA first emailed me on Aug 30th and I emailed back the same day. He then called on Sep 1st to schedule my delivery and gave me choices of Sep 11-14 to pick up. If I waited until the next week he said I...

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Looking at the Model 3 market share graph in the letter, Model 3 looks to have about 26% share in April 2018. Mercedes C Class is just barely above them, maybe about 28% market share. From Mercedes website, they sold 5,148 C Class in April. Going off that, Model 3 sales in April appear to be...

    2017 Investor Roundtable:General Discussion

    One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet about the 5k per week guidance in march is customer expectations. Many of the model 3 buyers are first time Tesla buyers. Could just be wishful thinking for my own reservation but I would imagine they definitely do not want to change delivery estimates...

    Looking at the supercharger access, I wouldn't make any big changes here are they discontinued the free supercharging for all vehicles ordered after January 15th. So with the overhang vehicles and all of the orders made before Jan 15 that ended up being delivered in Feb and Mar I think most of...

    2017Q1 results

    @luvb2b I dug into the EAP revenues and based on my initial research and calculations, I think they will recognize about $67.5 million in Q12017 (this is my base case). My bull case puts them at $90 million and the bear case at $45 million. I’ll break down my assumptions over the take-rate of...

    Thanks for sharing, very informative. If you look at the DCF (first pic), they are forecasting Tesla to hit 500k units delivered a year starting in 2025 (vs guidance of producing that many in 2018). And this is the BASE case....

    That's good news! However it only seems to be redesigned for the American version of the site. On my browser, all of the other countries are still showing the previous site with the Model S. Perhaps they are still in the process of updating the rest.

    They got a bunch of emails re the timeline of the whole process. So TSLA board has approved the deal, which is why they announced it yesterday. Then it goes to SCTY board for approval. Then DD happens "promptly, hopefully done in the next 2-3 weeks" Then shareholder vote would be sent out...

    IMO, I suspect EM thinks that SCTY will hit FCF + in the next 6 months (likely Q4 as guided by SCTY). The shareholder voting process does take time to send out the votes, give the shareholders time to decide and submit their vote, then count the votes. This is usually done through paper mail...

    At start of call before EM talked, Tesla had their general counsel on the phone, who basically said that since EM is a >5% shareholder, they needed to update his Schedule 13-G (Statement of Beneficial Ownership) with his intention to acquire SCTY, hence the timing of the announcement.

    SCTY increasing cost/watt is sales cost in Q1. That cost will go other direction (ie down) in sales cost through TSLA, when they sell the panels in their tesla stores. EM thinks SCTY will actually be a net cash generator for tesla. He reiterated that SCTY will hit the FCF + in "short order"...

    Hey all, over the weekend I went through the Q2 Model X delivery threads and compiled a list of VINs, delivery dates and delivery estimates.

    Anyone else having trouble plotting out the model 3 ramp? If they produce 100k-200k model 3's in 2017, they likely have less than 5 months to hit that target (I would say 4 months since EM said volume production 'several months' after the July 1st deadline). On the low end, they have an average...

    Watch for an overall rally in the market today. Nobody wants to see the S&P 500 stay below 1650. If it opens above 1650 prepare for some volatility as TSLA loves to overexaggerate market movements. Might even cancel out Tesla Tuesday :)
