    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I'm sure this was already discussed many pages back, but wanted to chime in. When I saw GM's "Vertical take-off and landing" drone vehicle as a flagship concept for their EV future, I half died. They finally signal they understand the pressure from Tesla, they change their logo, make this big...

    Tesla 'Compare Models' price differences?

    Ah, yeah I did a search for this in other threads, but the word 'compare' yielded too many results. Haha. The CA discount seems like it shouldn't count for majority of people, strange! Oh well, thought I caught a sneak peek of a price drop! Guess not.

    Tesla 'Compare Models' price differences?

    I was using Tesla's 'compare' page, and noticed the base models of each were ~$1500 lower than the listed price on any individual page. Compare | Tesla Obviously a Model S is $69,420, but all of these prices are consistently lower. I searched for an answer but couldn't find one. Is this normal...

    There's >50 votes even w/o him. No pressure from McConnell, so there's a tad of bipartisan support. He tends to be a dissenting vote more often when the are no consequences. But it's certainly possible some retail traders are unaware. In any case, shouldn't be a major factor.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Much against any financial advisor's advice, I have some short term savings for our first home in TSLA. So of course it'll be worth more in the future, but this is a nice price to sell a bit knowing I need the cash anyway. Not sure about OTHER people, but there are certainly situations where...

    All of my (sell order) ladders in my short term accounts began at $700. So $695 was a kind of special result. BUT, no major drop after hours. So I can't complain really.

    Thank you to you and your brethren for these talking points that have continued to suppress the TSLA stock these past years, we appreciate the discount you have afforded us! Feel free to continue shouting these from the rooftops so we can continue.

    The funny part is, they are still actively missing it. Like you can buy in today, and still have major returns that outperform the market. This article could have been written a year ago, now, or a year from now. It'll keep going up and they'll say again "Drats! I missed it!". Just, like... buy...

    Not gonna lie, in my short term account yesterday wasn't fun, but if it's going to shoot up like this I certainly don't mind the volatility it caused for my calls! IV way up. May end up better, even, then a slower march towards ATH's. Silver lining!

    Green day on a $5B dilution? Not how I thought today was gonna go, but alright! Perhaps somewhat attributed to that risk of a $20B+ dilution coming off the table (most likely).

    On the 8k it says the date of Sep 8, saying the process completed on Sep 4. So if they do finish this one quick, it appears we may not found out the exact details until later in the week or the week after. Correct?

    GM paying dealers to straight up close, to advance their EV sales, is the thing has moved me from "0% chance of not going bankrupt" to "hey, 1% chance of not going bankrupt!". Like they have so so much to do still, but it is a signal that some part of their team sees some of the writing on the...

    I think GS is still a little slow with the timeline, but even they admitted the 20 Million production per year is possible in that article. Is this the first big player to agree that the 20 M might happen?

    Even after several years, I get surprised by the volatility. Not that it IS happening, just timing. Negated the entire down day in seemingly 1 minute?

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    What are the exact dates for the one tranche? Is it 14th - 18th (to be all set by the 21st)? I wasn't clear if there was a 3 day buying period, or 7, etc.

    So if he's not extended, is he gonna bail? I'm not familiar with the matter, but this hasn't escalated to a vote of removing him?

    So ATH close is actually still possible, despite all the swings. *waits 2 minutes* Edit: I dreamed a dream, but now that dream is gone for me.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Yup, especially for TSLA. I feel like I'm always surprised on the day when the 'reaction' should happen. Then it quiets down and shoots up later, once people have stopped writing articles about X.

    I am like 99% certain they'll announce pretty much what we expected. But me and my calls are awfully nervous about that 1%. I do not have a good batting average with anything outside of buy and hold.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I made some bets at the top this morning, so not surprised at the drop! But yes, the S&P announcement and uncertainty must be a big factor for many trades today.

    No that was me. I sold a small % to swing trade on said dip, so it went up on Friday as a result. My apologies. A lot of you aren't aware that the market moves in the opposite direction of all my actions. Reliable indicator.

    Not sure if this was their point, but in this scenario the 'peak' is expected to happen near-ish Dec 21. Not trading for a potential spike in the next year, or even the next 3 months, just trading for this very very specific window as the SP increases during inclusion. Post-inclusion I truly...

    I have always expected this to happen eventually, the question for me is who's the first OEM to capitulate? My instinct says VW. Note: I think this would be a great move for whatever OEM finally give up. Imagine a 2025 VW EV and the dealer can say 'It can charge nationwide on all Tesla...

    Sure, but TSLA does not have that many doublings left, if you start from a small sum. No matter how bullish you are. I too have a smaller account, so I'm bullish on TSLA, but even at $4T market cap, I won't be able to retire on it. Womp womp.

    I gave up mostly on options after losing quite a bit in the 'TSLA trades sideways for 4 years' days.
