Am going to try something today to save CC's. Last friday my 200cc's expired worhtless, and those were the bulk of my CC position for the week. Fortunately. I had some lower cc's that I had to roll. They are now 4x 195 cc's for this week and 1x 180cc for next week. Since P&D is likely to take...

Just installed Autopark in the EU on my 2023 no USS Model Y - software updates set to Advanced. Out of the blue!

LEAPS are indeed a profit multiplier if: a) the share price increases after you bought them AND b) fast enough, that is. The LEAPS lose theta, which is slow at first but continuously increases in "speed". It's an exponential curve basically, where theta loss only materially kicks in the last...

Went to pick up a Model Y for a family member last saturday, in a delivery location in Belgium, Flanders. I climbed some stairs for authorised personnel only to grab the panoramic shot below (real pic had more on top and below, but the file proved too big for TMC. I just cut out the...

Let's keep that discussion out of this thread. But it is FUD. Those engineers were either quitting (off to Open AI, Meta or whoever else) or going into a new venture with Musk. It might look unpure, but the end result is the same. If you don't trust Elon with basic stuff like this, sell your...

Yes. And it keeps xAI (and its tech) safe from public investors, hostile takeovers and the like. Since Elon thinks he might solve AGI and he doesnt trust public markets with it.

According to the TA of @dl003 it would be wise to close those out right around now. This pullback is healthy for bulls and should see us rallying in the near future.

I thought you were going to say real estate in places far away from densely populated areas could rise in value since more people are willing to travel to work longer distances using robotaxi (and sleeping/working/watching TV in their car for example). In other words: a shift in property value...

Truer words have never been spoken.

Just read through it. Very little info. My personal takeaways: - if autonomy is not reached, the price target is $350 - bear, base and bull case are all including autonomy in the forecast - ARK expects first commercial robotaxi in 2025 or 2026 (96% probability). 4% probability of 2027 or later...

The cat is voting YES. Same for the Artistic Evader and the invisible performance Model 3. With the Trader of James Bond Trends you never know, depends on his morning coffee. The Neurotic Den would vote NO but he sold all his shares a long time ago.

He did execute. That's the point. The verdict regarding how the original compensation package came into being doesn't take away the fact that Elon put his *ss on the line to meet (at the time) insanely bullish goals. He executed to complete said goals. What you're doing now is moving the...

Tesla is building the Semi. Elon doesn't have to post about it every day to make this more real. I see similar posts on X after Elons livestream: "How does he have time to play games?" The man works a lot more than most. Don't judge how he spends his free time. BTW Elons livestream was full of...

Good luck (should the order hit). I'm not comfortable copying this trade TBH. 16% rise from here seems very possible if a) the vote goes through and b) we get some other good news on the shareholder meeting. (unlikely, but not unheard of)

Must not sell shitcalls for tomorrow...

Was one of the most exciting launches since the first belly-flop manoeuvre IMO! If this was a composite rocket instead of stainless steel, that flap couldn't have held on like it did. What a show.

Old spaceflight had the same opinion regarding putting landing legs and grid fins on Falcon 9. SpaceX gave up useful payload (=money) to chase a pipedream. The building of the no steering wheel Tesla comes first. Then they can start testing and finetuning it. RT event is exciting for this...

Elon mentioned that chromecast/casting functionality is being built into X. So this is only a temporary problem.

Well, whenever you launch the prototype of your Mars-rocket you can stream it for free on Youtube. Elon prefers to guide clicks to his own companies instead of the direct competition. What a moron! /s

Ballsy. I'm waiting for the bottom to drop out.

You can change your vote until the 12th of June..

Agree with the autowipers being terrible with overcast (but dry) weather. But I adjust manually by turning them off. Main issue is when using autopilot. The lane assist/autopilot wheel-touch-nag is not too sensitive in my experience. You just need to get used to it. I just rest my left hand on...

A more detailed post regarding this:

If we're going that route... Elon is scared s**tless of AGI, way more than his concerns regarding climate change. So he is prioritizing building FSD/Optimus/xAI/Grok to reach AGI first.

Would be a great outcome but I find this unlikely. He would gather a lot more attention/receive a lot more praise if he shouted from the rooftops that he voted with the board on all fronts with his position.

Regarding NVDA, friendly reminder that selling puts is best done at low SP. Not saying NVDA can't keep running for a while, but be prepared for the swing downward (which can be volatile with rallies like this). In other words: make sure your puts are backed so you don't end up getting margin...

Anecdotal evidence: Tesla Belgium seems to be hiring.

I'll be brief since this is OT. This sounds like a nice PowerPoint presentation. The next chip in development will perform a task that has not yet been achieved (autonomous driving) with simulated data (which Tesla states can cover a lot but not all edge cases). I have more trust in the...

@Yoona : regarding stock repair strategy (in your The Wheel chart), you say in the stock repair step: "if stock up, exercise +c, assignment on 2x -c , result: no stock". You have 200 shares before this step. The sold calls result in the shares being called away at the strike of the sold calls...

The most basic Roulette strategy (the Martingale strategy) can be applied to trading. For those few unaware, Martingale strat means you double your bet (or capital at risk) every time you lose, in order to come out ahead at the first win (on the roulette wheel or in the market). Roulette...

It's more sane than the US, but the dealers of regular OEMS (BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes,...) still allow for negotiation. Just less % of the sticker price than with US dealers IMO. (not scientific, I speak from experience in Belgium versus what I see in American movies/tv shows)

I just voted my shares from EU (Belgium) in line with the board recommendations. It cost me €35 (= ~$38) and a little hoop-jumping so I hope it was worth it.

Just watched the shareholder meeting video frame by frame. They indeed teased the Cybercab and the robotaxi-app. I do believe these pics are officially the robotaxi we will see on 8/8. Two seater is 99% confirmed. They are mixing it up with the seats (a bench with armrest that can fold down, a...

It was a Chimay glass and I specifically hid the lettering since that is a sin. 🤫

Positioned for next week. Done trading and working for the week. Cheers to all, and in particular @Max Plaid

Well let's hope he doesn't sell huge amounts of shares anymore. That would not be congruent with his comments of wanting ~25% stake in Tesla.

Elon sold huge numbers of shares on the open market in april 2022 and december 2022. The stock got hammered because of it. (see the chart) Is it so strange that certain stockholders - even if they gained a lot from the runup earlier after the compensation plan - are of the opinion Elon should...

Yeah, apologies. Cant edit anymore. Will pay more attention in the future before posting.

Except SpaceX. That company is so far ahead of its competition they cannot lose.

Thanks. Edited the post.

I've been trying to dig up as much info on this as I can. PROs: - the board ain't stupid and has a live pulse on the votes. They have some room to steer/talk to the largest holders. - Gary Black tweeted he voted "for" Elon's comp package and states most institutional holders he talks to voted...

Thanks for chiming in. As an EU investor it is really hard to get a grip on how FSD 12.3.x is performing since the comments online (TMC or elsewhere) are all over the place. And then Elon comes on the earnings call being a tease: "any Tesla investor should try FSD v12, or else you cannot...

It really boggles my mind how fickle trader sentiment is, time and time again. (Or so one would believe if they read financial news sites. I'm more and more a fan of not checking the news at all, as you often suggest. I only check official Tesla sources, really.)

Still seems safe IMO. Thinking of opening $185's right now actually.

What strike did you pick? 190's around $0.50?

I don't think so.

This price action seems to hold true to what @dl003 posted a few days ago: - low 160's by end of May; - but before that, bounce around $168 to $180-ish "on news" - then leg down to low $160's. Even though last Friday AH that theory was questioned (since we went to $167,x, below $168), the...

Maybe in the future, but right now I'm 18 months deep into no-USS-Model Y ownership and I still lack autopark. Tesla needs to step it up in Europe. And regulations are not an excuse. They have the tech and can dumb it down for EU buids until regulators allow the latest builds.

Unlikely since stopping at stop signs is the law. (At least here in EU, not sure about every U.S. state) It's not because most drivers disobey the law that an autonomous system (which will be held to the highest standards) has the same right. It's not a right to not come to a full stop. It's a...
