Would be cool if the pricing has nothing to do with the Cybertruck and instead Tesla was waiting for Lucid to show its hand with the Sapphire. Now here comes the Plaid+ with 500 miles range, 8.8 1/4 mile, 0-60 in 1.8 all for $124,450. Faster with more range than the Sapphire for half the price...

It’s fairly obvious to anyone who pays attention to Elon Musk that the reason the compact car is taking so long is because Elon is a perfectionist. There will be 2 compact cars released for differing markets. For markets on the metric system the exterior dimensions will be 1.69m wide by 4.20m...

Don’t you mean wearing red short shorts?

You can call TD and ask for a lower margin rate. Point out that other brokers offer lower rates and provide those rates to the TD rep you speak to. $350k is a good amount to be collecting interest on so I doubt they’d want to let you go elsewhere. You can buy cheap puts to get out of PNR.

Is converting your account to portfolio margin an option? It could increase your available margin in order to get rid of the margin call for the time being depending on how E*trade calculates risk based on your holdings.

Q1 earnings will be that week or the week prior. IV for those will likely rise after Tesla announces the ER date in the next couple weeks or so and the date nears. Not sure how much difference that will make or if it factored in your thinking but just wanted to put it out there.

Happy new year all! On 12/30 Tesla left me a voicemail then a few minutes after sent a text letting me know my car was ready and asking if I was ready to take delivery that day or on 12/31. I declined because I already had plans with my family and I didn’t have my payment ready as this delivery...

People who want the quickest accelerating production car are willing to pay for it. Tesla knows this and has priced accordingly. The quickest accelerating production SUV doesn't have the same ring as the quickest accelerating production car nor does it give the same sense of pride to those who...

Awesome. Thank you so much!

Hahaha. My kid has been bugging me to get a car he can stand up in without having to tilt his head. Might only be a couple years at the most until he cant do that anymore though. Of course, that‘s not the only reason for wanting an X. Does anyone have an X they can take the inside floor to...

Hi Fulkth, Congratulations and I can tell you’re enjoying your car. You have been beyond helpful to many so I have a favor to ask. Do you mind measuring the distance from the floor to the ceiling when in the middle of the 2nd row and also the distance from the floor to the ceiling when just in...

I’d much rather close out BCS at a loss than BPS at a loss.

I love my 3, love the X, love the S, and the Y is ok. I have a CT and a X on order. Curious, what do your kids hate about the X? Do they have kids of their own?

Speculation is fun. Speculation time. If this is about a stock split then the year 1910 could refer to a 19:10 or 1.9:1 stock split. Isn’t 1.9:1 what people here have said is the most TSLA can split without shareholder approval? I guess the tweet time of 1:10pm could be October 1. So after the...

He is a tough grader giving the best all around car ever made a 73 out of 100. I’m glad he’s not grading my kids’ assignments! On a different note IV seems to be going up. I bought some Oct 15 800 calls earlier this morning with the SP around 660. Those calls are now up about 6% with the SP at...

I ended up checking out his YouTube channel and watching the Model S exterior overview video. Geez, the way the sunlight hits just makes the car look so good in ways the Tesla website doesn’t. And it already looks damn good on the site as it is. I pretty much had my breath taken away.

Looks like TSLA is getting pinned to 645. Maybe there will be a last hour push for a battle over 650?

Thanks for posting this! I just ordered one for myself. Maybe I should have ordered a few to give as gifts but I’m sure my circle wouldn’t have the same appreciation for it.

Without anything being announced that we didn’t already know, the Plaid Model X at 10k less than the Plaid Model S seems like a screaming good deal. $30k difference between LR and Plaid X compared to a $50k spread for the S.

Anybody else wearing the Plaid T-shirt and short shorts for this event or am I the only one?

I’m not even in the market for a Model S but for some reason I feel like I missed out on getting a good deal on the Plaid.

Being a TSLA investor is good times. What other company has this many exciting days? We basically have about 10 Christmases a year: 4 P&D announcements, 4 earnings days, 1 or 2 events (e.g. product reveal, Battery Day, A.I. Day, etc.), and actual Christmas. Tomorrow will be fun. Good luck all!

Has everyone seen this? How long until there is one of Elon vs the next 10 richest people in the world put together with Elon coming out on top? 10 years? 5 years? 2 years...

How far out were the covered calls that you were selling and how high above the then current share price were the strikes?

The maintenance requirement for TSLA on my account is 50% and I am heavily concentrated with TSLA.

Happy New Year to all! A bit off topic but might be helpful to some. I know there was talk about margin rates and I think it was in this thread since this is the thread I read most frequently. I could be wrong though. Ameritrade has high margin rates with a base lending rate of 8.35% in my...

Are you going to pick TSLA again for 2021?

The Tesla Shop recently lowered the diecast prices of the Model S, 3, and X to $175 while the Roadster and Semi remained at $250. The Roadster and Semi are now $175 as well.

Thanks for posting this! It made me check the store and I see the Owl Cybertruck tee which for me is a must have. I’ll also get the Battery Day tee.

The TSLA pre-split share price is now higher than AMZN. Pretty darn cool.

Tomorrow is going to be such an exciting day! Anyone else expect to have trouble sleeping tonight and getting work done tomorrow? I expect many probably took the day off, though. I would like to thank everyone here for their contributions. I didn’t start investing in TSLA until 2018 and...

That’s correct, this year. I didn’t see them yesterday so I’m guessing they were made available today; not that I’m constantly checking though. Higher strike prices will be released later.

I just noticed that Oct 30 options are out. Highest strike price is $420. Putting it out there in case anyone is thinking about capturing Battery Day, Q3 P&D, and earnings report in as short a time frame as possible. Can obviously wait just before Battery Day but you never know if there will be...

I was in the middle of my slumber when it dawned on me. The S&P committee are clearly $TSLA bulls and investors. It’s the only explanation why Tesla wasn’t added sooner when the market cap wasn’t as high. So why not add it now? Too many upcoming catalysts that will lessen the impact of...

Why would the S&P choose to announce the addition of Tesla AH on Tuesday rather than today AH? If the reason is partially to avoid a crazy European market while the US market is closed for two European trading days (Monday and Tuesday in Europe) then wouldn't a Tuesday AH announcement still give...
