    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2014

    Just looking at the daily chart, $180 looks like first support to me, $150 second support. Unless some other group asserts overall market leadership, the MOMO names look as though they're headed much lower.

    Elon in Munich on Jan 30, 2014

    Wondering if slow sales in Germany may be driven by speed limit on Model S to 125. Too slow for German left-lane autobahn drivers for such an expensive car? Comparably-priced Porsche Panameras, even the e-hybrid, are 40 to 60 mph faster.

    Tesla Motors - The Early Years

    Virtually every publicly-held corporation is incorporated in Delaware to take advantage of Delaware's favorable law of corporations, its large body of corporate law, and its experienced, business-friendly Chancery Court.

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2014

    Traders just seem during past couple of weeks to be rotating out of the high-quality momentum names (Netflix, Google, Priceline, as well as Tesla) and into less-expensive, lower-quality (junk?) stocks. 210-218 looks like first support to me, with stronger support at 180. 218 would "fill the...

    Solar Charging

    Thanks. I trickle-charge the lead-acid batteries on several ICE machines, and I believe that the 12-volt gel battery in the Tesla can also be trickle-charged. This should preserve some of the charge in the main battery, since the main battery charges the 12-volt battery.

    Tesla Can Topple the Car-Dealer Monopoly

    Yes, as a recent Forbes article points out, State laws impacting interstate commerce (i.e., a transaction b/t Tesla and a consumer) may violate the Constitution's Commerce Clause.

    Solar Charging

    Does anyone know if it's possible to trickle-charge the 12-volt battery using a small solar panel?

    Performance Plus (P85+) vs. Performance (P85) Test Drive and Review

    Thanks very much for the thorough comparison. This is exactly the decision I'm trying to make: P85 or P85+. My wife and I test drove a P85 this week. I have a pretty good bit of track experience with my Boxster S, and the wife says go for the + as well. One of these days after delivery, I...

    Price changes after confirmation and reservation payment?

    Have any recent purchasers in the U.S. made an effort to use the recent European price reduction as a bargaining tool for a price reduction on a Model S?

    Should we picket dealerships?

    It's probably more effective to do all you can to influence your state legislators and to explain to them that dealer protection statutes are anachronistic and anti-competitive and would violate federal antitrust law but for the state action doctrine. If such statutes existed for all retailers...

    Any Model S owners in Birmingham, AL yet?

    This might happen if Tesla and/or the Atlanta or Nashville store would schedule a demo day at the track.

    What do you do for work? Just passing time waiting for updates from Tesla :)

    Semi-retired lawyer (arbitration, complex litigation), private investor (trader), writer. Not a Tesla owner yet; waiting to take the test drive next week.
