The counter argument I have for discounting China long term is the $25,000 Model 2 that is to be built in China for worldwide consumption. That car will be such an important part of China’s exports they cannot afford to give Tesla the google treatment. China’s EV companies can copy that car but...

I find Dave’s podcasts extremely useful. He has introduced me to many stocks I would not have known about (I am in Canada and some of these companies have not opened offices here yet). Not just any stocks but stocks that seem to be winners. Here are a few examples. In a podcast with Rob Mauer...

I am really getting the feeling that the post battery day event is going to mimic the post Cybertruck reveal event. At first there was a bit of disappointment because there was so much hype going into the event. When we do a post mortem and let everything sink in we will realize how awesome...

I don’t know your mother-in-law, but I’m sure I can bear (pardon the pun) listening to her much more than Gordon Johnson.

Half-glass full point of view. Trump has a lot of Twitter followers, this is free advertising for Tesla!

I'm not an expert in options, but I did take some finance courses. By buying and selling a series of call options at different strike prices, you can create a butterfly spread. The net result is profit if the stock price does not move. Is this what is happening with TSLA or does theory not work...

The person who bought this call is almost in the money with 1.5 years to expiry.

The first time I heard about Tesla was after Elon Musk's 60 Minutes interview in 2014. I immediately drank the kool-aid on Tesla and started buying TSLA shortly after. TSLA is the only stock I own (I have pension money that can't be invested in individual stocks). I guess I listen to Mark Cuban...

I too have a story. I bought TSLA in 2014 and accumulated 1,809 shares. For a period of 3 years TSLA traded between say $170 to $240. It finally broke out a bit and I sold 1097 shares at $260 and was waiting for the dip. However, TSLA broke out to the $300s. Obviously, I kicked myself but bought...

I think phase 2 of the model 3 reveal would be the SUV version of the model 3.

Are you sure this is not due to Chinese New Year falling on Feb 8, 2016?

I hope they can smooth it out somewhat. That seems like a lot of pressure on Q4.

That's a massive jump for these Bears (I realize they are switching analysts but still ...). Does anyone know what the average PT of the all the analysts covering TSLA?

To the person who owns 32,800 shares, I congratulate you! If you bought in at ~$30, that's still a $1 Million investment and one hell of a risk!! You deserve to be rich!!!

Can someone explain what slide 8 of the JB Straubel presentation bullet "400 mph charging (30 minutes)" means? Has that been mentioned before? And is it related to the new liquid cooled Supercharging cable?

I'm not sure if JB Straubel's slide presentation from the 2015 EIA Conference has been posted. Sorry if it has been I have not seen it. http://www.eia.gov/conference/2015/pdf/presentations/straubel.pdf

I started following Tesla on March 30, 2014 after the 60 Minutes story. I believe it was around 1100. For some reason 1114 sticks in my head.

I couldn't agree with this statement any more. The large players can make money on the price action going up, down and sideways or else they wouldn't be in the business. They prey on the individual investors. Sorry, I'm not sure anyone on this thread wants to hear this.

That makes sense if the dual motor was available immediately but I doubt it is. What if TM says you have the option but we can't deliver until 2015. Some in the queue will then have to wait until 2015 and Q4 guidance will be missed. Like I said there's no room for error in Q4, introducing a dual...

Introducing a dual motor for Model S does not make sense at this time. It would mess up the Q4 2014 guidance. Since you have to deliver 13,000 Model S in Q4 to meet 2014 guidance, there is no room for error. You have to think some people in the queue for the model S would prefer the dual motor...

MBLY got a nice write-up today which will boost its share price. http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/08/14/analyst-says-mobileye-well-poised-for-autonomous-vehicle-trend/

I'm guessing this is the B of A note: http://www.streetinsider.com/Analyst+Comments/BofAMerrill+Lynch+Calls+Panasonic+Initial+Investment+in+Tesla+(TSLA)+Gigafactory+Mini%3B+Co.+May+Have+to+Tap+Public+Markets/9694721.html

Looks like the whole market is down pre-market.

Another thing to consider is the optimal strike price. Here is the profit structure (I realize I'm using fraction number of calls for the illustration) based on various strike prices. So if you were really bullish, your optimal position is selecting a strike price of $320 to $330. Strike...
