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

    I really thought you were talking to your self. lol similar names. I rented a Hertz Model Y from Dulles airport a couple of weeks ago, I liked the ride a lot more than a 2018 Model 3 as it was less bumpy and still had sharp handling. I liked it so much I decided to place orders for family...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Or maybe it's +P590/-P580 so it may be a bearish bet since I realized I can't tell if they sold or bought certain strikes. Would sort of make sense for October expiration in that case.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Sooo which one of you sold some spreads this morning at around 9:47? Was poking around on TOS and found options flows. TSLA 10/21/22 -P590/+P580, qty. 460 contracts for ~$1.70 premium per share. -That's only $460k collateral so maybe just medium sized option trader? -Looks to be 25% OTM...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Have you used trailing stop BTC instead of limit BTC? So you can maximize the MMD or any dip to maximize profit and automagically get out after the SP turns around after a certain % or $ offset reversal up of the spread premium? You could also do a conditional where your order converts to a...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Sooo you can STO a BCS pre-market? Hook a brotha up! Apparently I'm not part of this special club. I believe you meant set a market order STO BCS ATM before market open, then snipe with a BTC at bottom of MMD. I've tried to experiment but not always successful if MMD didn't pan out.

    What will you splurge your TSLA gains on?

    Most discussions are private or offline in my experience and owner flown aircraft in the go fast range (light jets, turboprops, etc.) usually have gatherings to within their brands (Pilatus, Daher, maybe Textron does but I don't follow, etc.). Try beechtalk, besides the Bonanza and Baron folks...

    What will you splurge your TSLA gains on?

    If you have to ask about annual costs of a light jet, then you can't afford...j/k HondaJet just looks better after every iteration! How was the type rating for it? I'm starting to look at doing the CE-525 type rating since I'm considering an M2 (or larger later like CJ4 for range) but been...

    Probably reality: EM wakes up, looks at clock (9:30AM EST), gets his phone and opens Robinhood app. Press market order sell then swipes up, MMD occurs.

    See Hertz is doing it right, book a Tesla Model 3 and you'll get a Tesla Model 3. No bait and switch and get a Taycan or Mach-E.

    How much $ to retire and how to fund your lifestyle in retirement

    It is possible to find used aircraft at the moment but you might have to consider finding a well informed broker, that is willing to do the leg work to broker a deal from start to finish, schedule and coordinate a pre-purchase inspection for you, and even advise you to discuss with insurance...

    When will the entire Tesla auto line up transition fully to 4680?

    I believe when the Model 3 production line is converted to 4680 is when the entire line up is finally converted over. 8-10 years from initial release is likely in a roadmap for redesign. So 2025-2027.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Got a phone call from Tesla before 2PM EST, wasn't Elon on the line (again). 1. Seems like the guy was telling me a Plaid would come to me in FL during August if my order could be changed from Black interior/CF to Black interior/Wood. It sounded like the guy was inferring that the order would...

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

    A bit revealing detail from Elon: Plaid S motors in the current design will be used in the Plaid Roadster! Rather, it will be revised with increased rated RPM of at least 22,560RPM for 250+mph top speed. At delivery event, Elon said that maximum motor speed for Plaid S is 20,000RPM "and them...

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

    Ah yes, 7.5:1 ratio is important information. Let's pull out the handy calculator: Assumption that 295/30R21 tire (actual rear tire size used on 21" Plaid taken from Manual) has about a 87.8" circumference. Therefore, assuming no tire circumference stretch at 20,000RPM motor speed, the tires...

    As spoken by one of the Tesla engineers starting at 11:24, motors specs: 3 identical motors 400HP rated each 470Nm approximately each Plaid+ looked to have had the potential to be a 1200HP monster with 520mi+ range. 20% more power possible. Tesla aims high.

    It looks like Tesla has found that using three smaller motors vs two large motors gives them three major benefits: Increased efficiency Torque vectoring Increased total power output Torque vectoring still seems to be glossed over this entire TMC forum. I have personally experienced torque...

    What other mid-large OEM has an answer to the Tesla tri-motor Plaid powertrain? - Single speed no gearbox - 0 to 20,000 RPM - Triple permanent magnet motors - Torque vectoring - 0 to 200mph capable - Deliveries starting TODAY It's literally checkmate to ICE and every other OEM already. Every...

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

    I don't think anyone outside of mechanical engineers and true performance car nerds understand the meaning of the flat power curve at all. This means that the tri-motor powertrain is still so power limited by the battery output that any increase will increase the maximum HP that can be delivered...

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

    This sums Plaid all on one graph. Shows how impressive the motors and battery powertrain is. Basically 1000HP from 60mph all the way to 200 mph. Wow!

    1. I believe Elon decided to not accept Plaid+ pre-orders a week or so ago so that it would push those wanting to order one to have to purchase a Plaid instead. 2. Phone calls to Plaid+ reservation holders were to let people know that they can switch their order to a Plaid so they can receive...

    And they are cranking out the Plaid as we speak from Fremont and delivering it this month. When Elon introduced it at battery day he was talking about the Plaid+ then for availability late 2021, Tesla pivoted and offered the Plaid before mid-2021 and although it is peanuts to their other...

    I ordered Plaid+ very recently, so am I more special than you because I got the phone call from Fremont yesterday? Fremont guy asked if I heard about the Plaid availability? I said "Of course!" and I said I was expecting a call about downgrading to a Plaid. I asked if this was Elon but he...

    Dang, so the track is resurfaced for next week's Model S presentation? That looks like a few million dollar resurfacing job. So does that mean there's going to be a track time set on this thing? Or customers get to experience a ride on the track? "Oh look, a Tesla that can handle the turns!"...

    A car carrier returning to the Austin gigafactory is most likely going to be empty so why not just load it up with some Model Ys and Cybertrucks for local customers? Cost isn't going to be "double" for local customers.

    Well, that's what I'm curious about too. 1. Tesla is pro-actively increasing the price of their most popular Model 3 and Model Y for the past couple of months. I think people will get wind and order now instead of wait if the price difference ordering now and waiting until next year is...

    I'm around Amelia Island this weekend and the events around the Concours d'Elegance are going on so some OEMs use it as an opportunity to show their offerings. And wow the Tesla disruption is unreal. Every manufacturer with a presence showed their EVs (except for maybe Hennessey's Venom F5...
