    Did Tesla’s Sale Alienate Everyone?

    It’s against the law to post something like Tesla did on their website (see attached screenshot) and not state the offer is conditional. Tesla has since scrubbed this from Tesla.com. I saw the $2K FSD pricing in my owner’s portal, went back in the next morning and it rose 250% to $5K. I wouldn’t...

    Did Tesla’s Sale Alienate Everyone?

    Anyone else remember these numbers? Purchased my MS in Dec 2016. Purchased Autopilot but did not purchase FSD which was I believe at the time was $3,000 up front and $4,000 after purchase, They are now asking $5,000 for FSD in my owners portal. Did Tesla change the pricing? Just wondering if I...

    Did Tesla’s Sale Alienate Everyone?

    Interesting how Tesla's blunders are considered consumer entitlement by some. Yes it's all the customer's fault for being upset about schizophrenic pricing policies and secret blog sales. After all, we are just plebeians and Elon, well he wants to fart on Mars someday.

    Am at a loss: is the $2k FSD offer going away on Monday?

    Sorry about the assumptions I am looking for any kind of handout here. Here is my situation - yours may be different and your mileage may vary... I don’t typically jump into blogs or have time to keep up with Elon’s tweets. Typically I receive communication from Tesla via the phone app, my MS...

    Am at a loss: is the $2k FSD offer going away on Monday?

    This offer was just wiped from the Tesa owners portal this morning. I looked in my car’s profile last night and the price was $2,000 and no indication the offer was about to end. I went in this morning to buy and the price was $5,000. I called Tesla to ask if they would honor the $2,000 price...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Trying to understand the implications of what Fidelity is doing here and their motivation (other than the obvious, which is to make money). Could this be this related to Maxpain's SP of $260 for this Friday? Is Fidelity being forced into offering these shares at a reduced interest rate to...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    You'd think but I only have to answer to my wife and boy is she not impressed with my last week. I jumped away from my normal approach by buying ang holding prior to ER and I'm about to eat my shorts today because of my misread. Time to get out, regroup and start playing the moning dip again to...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Hopefully we are seeing the lows for the day right now. If there isn't a recovery above $250 today, this correction may not be close to being over. At this pace I am expecting to be knocked out of my shares with the stop loss I have in place sometime early today so your play should be buy the...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Agree. I like today's first hour. A green close today bodes well for next week, a break into the 240's indicates look out below and in between = market still deciding(IMO). 250 is the number to watch for today.

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    20 minutes is about right for the "meh ER panic" to consolidate. Hopefully the high 250's is the bottom and up from here.

    One of the rare times with $TSLA when you want to buy the news. After this morning everyone who wants out should be out.

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Approaching 1 million for after hours volume. And as a note to the AP2 discussion. I don't even think to use mine. It's one of the two things I can honestly say sucks about my MS. The other is the nav system but that's another discussion. Hopefully an update is due to make AP2 functional, and...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Yep, union would be bad for $TSLA but the UAW recognizes now is the prefect time to stir the pot and I expect they will do so. It's now or never from UAW's POV in all probability and they have nothing to lose so they will give it all they have. Appreciate your thougths. Something to consider.

    So much for $276 being support... but this is the ER shakeout I was expecting. $10+ off daily high. WOW!

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    When forced overtime is in place for months at a time, employees attitudes change. IMO, this is coming to a head at an inopportune time for M3 and is somerthing relevant to keep an eye on. Who knows what will happen but if I was working 60+ hours a week with my job on the line, I don't see my...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    One concern I have is the potential for a worker strike stopping productiion. The UAW issue hasn't begun to play out yet and with M3 pressure, they have leverage if they can get enough employees to sign a union card.

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    My thoughts were $276 would be the support level either yesterday or today. Since we hit that today, I am thinking it is up from here until close. I got in today at $278.22 (I lost patience when I saw the initial jump to $283.45) and I felt $5 off the high was a good entry point. I am...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Thinking they will try to shake the tree a bit and drop the SP by at least 1% either before close today or at some point tomorrow. It would be strange to go into ER without some shenanigans to make traders nervous. Watching for a quick drop and jumping in if it happens. Targeting $276 or lower...

    Think you have a good chance of picking that up today.

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    I have a bad feeling about today. Anyone else thinking down at least a few percent today? Down about 1% pre-market. Thinking this will set the tone for the day.

    Think we just saw support at high $276 range. Hopefully up from here.

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    I only have a 6 month history to go back to so long term I honestly don't know. Aug to Dec of 2016 SP went from approx $245 to $180. I was able to work this successfully during that period and I was up but only about 0.5% a week. Since Dec with SP coming back to present levels 1.5% per week has...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    TSLA has worked for me mainly because of its voltility on open. The biggest decision I have to make is will I see a dip (sometimes a double dip) and recovery or a rise with no dip first thing in the morning. Normally a get in the first 5 to 10 minutes after open, set a small trailing stop loss...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    I jump in for the day, grab my 1% and get out. On a typical day, I'll hold the stock for 10 to 15 minutes (usually in the morning). I've missed the bulk of this latest run but my money is at a low risk. My goal is 1% profit per week, which averages me 50% a year and with TSLA, that is usually...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    I see you have the same market skill and timing I do. ;) 282 looked tempting to me also but I am waiting to see where we go over the next 30 minutes. Thinking I can get in lower during last 15 minutes.

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Not sure if we see the normal start of day dip today. This may pop at open and not come back to Earth until later in the day. If a short squeeze is in play today it will be Elon's long awaited launch to Mars. I think I'm considering buying my ticket the second the box office opens even though...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Buy the rumor, sell the news has always been a great strategy for TSLA. Great day to sell. That being said, the talk of a short squeeze has my attention. May be worth getting in on open and riding this a bit to see where it goes. It will be interesting to see the opinions here before today's...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    If it happens expect to pay north of 70K at least near term. Looks like my P100D is safe for the time being. There honestly is no need for more capacity anyway with existing superchargers. I drove a 85D across the country last summer (Phoenix to Orlando and back) with no problem at all. 85KWh...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Sold all shares at close yesterday (I don't have a lot). Doubting this will pop much higher before ER. Doubting more that all time high will be broken before ER. Hopefully I can get back in on Friday or next week if lower.

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    TSLA needs to close above $253 today to continue to ride the low side of the acsending channel we have seen over the last 8+ weeks. So far it is looking good for that to happen. Good reason to stay bullish IMO. Thinking a break upwards is likely also based mainly on the channel. Today's action...
  35. Peoria

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    My thoughts were $255 is the number to look for today. I'm less concerned (within reason) where the close ends up today if $255 can be touched at some point. Just saw the $10 swing from last weeks high this morning (the type of movement I've been looking for). IMO, if we see a $250 resistance...
  36. Peoria

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    I agree. I almost don't care if we see a $10 rise OR fall at this point. I got in at $250 last week and I just want to see some movement so I can reposition. I've been dead in the water for a week now. If no movement by Thursday close, I will likely jump out and look for a (hopefully) lower...

    Timing being everything, this was announced with just enough lead time to transition the perception of TSLA from being a car company to a multi service company, which I'm sure TSLA hopes will impact how the market views the coming ER. RIP Tesla Motors. Long live Tesla Inc!

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Agree. But using this strategy has worked well for me in the past. When there is a rumor, buy. When there is news, sell. The two events don't have to necessarity coincide. Today would definitely qualify as a news day though and I'd take my profit and use it to buy another day. Since I missed...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Hmm. Not sure if this will hold through open but if it does I'll look for a big dip before reentry. Thinking back down to mid to high 230's by tomorrow or Monday. Today, boat already missed. Buy on the rumor and sell on the news. Great day to take profits.

    Supercharger - Mobile, AL

    Happy to report the Baton Rouge SC is easily within range of this SC with a 85D. I arrived from BR to Mobile with 20% of my charge left after a range charge to 100%. On the way back, I drove from Mobile to The Best Western destination charger in La Place, LA and could have still made BR with 7%...

    Supercharger - Mobile, AL

    The SC's are so out of the way at this location, it would be obvious to anyone not to approach their car if a group was hanging around it. If I saw anyone by my car that was not simply someone else charging, I would ask for help from mall security. You can also just request an escort from the...

    Supercharger - Mobile, AL

    I wanted to comment on my return trip and experience my second time here. I charged at noon on a Tuesday. There was already another unoccupied MS in one of the stalls. I decided to leave my family at a nearby mall to do some shopping while I charged. I saw one car drive a circle around the SC...

    Supercharger - Mobile, AL

    I charged here a few days ago on a Sunday afternoon. I just have to ask Tesla: Why here??? Why did you choose this site with all the places you could have put this SC? I just completed a trip using every SC from Phoenix to Orlando and the Mobile SC was a rough experience to say the least. The...

    As of Friday afternoon this supercharger still doesn't have power.

    Supercharger - Albuquerque NM

    Thanks for the update. I've been watching this SC closely for the last few months thinking it would be set to go by now. I'll be passing through next Friday on my Phoenix to Orlando trek and this SC being active would be a big plus. I'll be sure to give it a try when I'm passing through and...

    Supercharger - Mobile, AL

    I'm thinking of trying to make the whole leg on one charge and bailing at the Mazalea Travel Park for a 14-50 charge if things look iffy. It's about 50 miles short of the Mobile SC and very in range for the 85D. I just checked the Level 3 in New Orleans and it was recently reported to be down by...

    Supercharger - Mobile, AL

    I noticed something similar. Evtripplanner is routing my 85D through Wisconsin when I look up the trip from Baton Rouge to Mobile and choose "route through SC". When I choose "route direct", EVTP estimates a 67.3kWH usage which the 85D should comfortably make. Could someone who had driven this...
