Wow! You believe in blind faith. That is disturbing. Musk is human. He makes mistakes. Is there somewhere stockholders can protest this merger? A petition or something? My thoughts are, regardless of any synergies, SolarCity is in a bad place financially. That will drag Tesla down, at least in...

I thought being able to configure you Model X online in July would be a small catalyst since it means we would get to see all the features available for the Model X, but it's not likely to push the stock to an all time high. The quarterly deliveries will likely be released before that is...

Wow, that's the first time I've seen at $400 PT for TSLA.

My indicator says good but not great day.

Thanks for the spreadsheet! I'm guessing they are the 29.99 kW capacity systems since there are 12 of these that have been paid and are not PV systems. The larger batteries have not been paid yet, and I think that's where they got the information for the subsidy amount for the article. Of...

Wow, I think this is big news! Tesla has already installed storage batteries at 11 Walmarts, but more importantly they account for 70% of energy storage projects under California's Self-Generation Incentive Program. That means that they are pursuing the battery market big time, and they could...

+1 TSLAopt I also feel like there are a lot of negative/critical posts coming from a few contributors that really make this thread a lot less interesting. That doesn't apply to most posts, just a few per day.

Thanks Green. I like this idea. I too have a job where I can't check the market all day and I have frequently received texts warning me of price movements that I can't do anything about. As for selling in general, my portfolio needs some rebalancing after making an average of 300% on my TSLA...

Does anyone have trailing stop loss/limit orders on their TSLA? I just added one at 20% below the price, but given TSLA's volatility I don't know if that will encompass the range of reasonable price fluctuations. What do you think?

Potential news Can anyone read Chinese? I've had a hard time determining what this is about. In any case, it could be important news. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/07/15/far-east-cable-brief-idUSL4N0PQ2HK20140715

Great article! This brings to mind a question I have right now: How to safely invest profits from sale of Tesla shares. Things aren't looking to great in the bond market and the stock market is potentially headed for a correction. Any thoughts on somewhat conservative investment options? This...

New Chevy Volt Gas 2 | Bridging the gap between green heads and gear heads. I have a hard time believing Chevy could pull off a 200 mi range in 2016. What do you think?

How confident are you that this is still a bull flag macman? I am just surprised that there is so much support at this valuation, but it looks real to me.

Is anyone considering selling stock? Im not an options trader and im getting a little nervous with this high valuation, but there seems to be more good news coming too. If i sell it will only be 13% of my position.

Does anyone know if there was any discussion of the Model X launch on the conference call? The shareholder letter says that design prototypes will be on the road by the end of the year and "volume" production will begin in 2015. Was this clarified any further or did they leave it intentionally...

Thanks!

I'm finally looking into solar companies to invest in. I plan to thoroughly research them, but I would love suggestions as to which companies to look at. Any thoughts?

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/23/us-samsung-sdi-idUSBREA0M03O20140123 Interesting...nothing is very clear about this article. What do you think, giga? I think so.

Detroit auto show I just thought this was interesting. There won't be many PEVs unveiled at the show, except maybe the Model X. Could be good for Tesla as long as they follow through. Green Car Preview: 2014 Detroit Auto Show Concepts Production Models

Hi all. I'm looking to invest in wind energy and energy storage, but I have no idea which companies have the fundamentals to merit my investment. Any suggestions of companies I should research?

At least someone noticed. Tesla Motorss Outperform Rating Reaffirmed at Wedbush (TSLA) - Ticker Report

Thanks Mario! I won't be surprised if I lose everything. This is a new thing for me, but I appreciate your perspective.

I bought my first calls for Nov 16 to take advantage of the uptick I see from the Q3 ER. Any advice on how to play them? Because of the increase in IV before the ER I am considering selling them (if prices go up) immediately before the ER, but I can see the price going up more afterwards. Any...

Wow, I had to sell 100 shares because I am buying a house and it's not worth risking losing everything. I feel like someone was messing with me.

I got a different alert that Baird is downgrading Tesla to neutral.

Kia Just read the Kia is coming out with a BEV. Don't know if that is big enough news for it to affect the stock.

I talked to a sales guy at the Natick mall store a week ago and he said that supercharger should be up and running in two to two and half months.

Does anyone know when the Q3 report will be released?

I am a woman who would like to have enough income to buy a Model S. I know that doesn't count in the poll, but I imagine a lot of women want but cannot afford a Tesla.

Great, that's a start.

So today I went to my local store and did a test drive. It was very cool. I was struck by how much more the car is like a hi-tech gadget than a luxury vehicle. One note that I think is very important though. If they want women to buy this car, they need to have some female workers in the...

Sounds good, but you have to take into account cancellations, out of sequence VIN numbers, production of floor models, and most importantly increases in costs for R&D for the Model X. I estimated that deliveries will be ~ 23500 this year, taking those factors into account. As for EPS. I think...

Good point Johann. Looking back it looks like 2500 cars were delivered last year. I don't have the annual report, but that looks about right based on the VINs posted in this forum. Subtracting those and another 200 for floor models I get 23,500 this year.

Here is my thought: Delivery estimates for VINs of ~ 20100 are end of September. Production has to be around 600 per week to keep up so assuming the rest of the year we stay at 600 we get 27300. Assuming that the factory is closed the last week of December and that VIN numbers may be a little...

I'm curious to see how many model S's you all think will be delivered this year. Based on the VIN data it looks like Tesla is either going to have to deliver more than the 21,000 they estimated or disappoint a lot of reservation holders. The delivery date estimates seem to be keeping up with new...
