If you can find it cheaper, buy it up.

Tesla paid only $42 million for the Fremont factory, they just paid more than twice that for the land alone in Texas. Tesla paid only $42 million for Nummi plant Being able to buy a shuttered factory was advantageous at the time and certainly Tesla has made full use of the proximity to tech...

Well, ask yourself why Lucid is in AZ, Nikola (yeah yeah) is going to build in AZ, Tesla built their Gigafactory in NV and is now threatening to move out of CA... the whole point is to not be in CA.

That is an impressive achievement and it shows where the state of the art is going. As electric vehicles start consistently getting over 400 miles or real world range the advantage of the supercharger network will diminish somewhat, but people will always need a way to charge and I can't...

It is time for a quick update from the US's renewable energy capital, Texas. "The ERCOT grid operator that serves most of Texas has completed full interconnection studies for 58 solar projects totaling 11.9 GW of capacity so far this year. The completed studies will allow project developers to...

Any chance we could get "them" to manipulate TSLA back to 1500? Asking for a friend...

Oh I predict earthquakes. In fact, there is a big one coming. I just haven't quite nailed down the specific time and place yet.

Same as with technicals in general. We wait until something does or doesn't happen and then either say we were right or don't.

I agree that Tesla may stand to gain from a Biden presidency, but I am sick of hearing about how we have to vote for an obvious loser because, "OMG the other side!" Scare tactics just don't move me anymore.

If the S&P wants Tesla to issue more shares I hope Elon tells them to take a hike. They will have to include TSLA eventually unless they want to change what the S&P500 represents and everyone knows it. Q3 will be profitable, likely highly profitable, and Q4 is likely to be still stronger...

People are rating this funny, but POTUS has 84 million twitter followers and I guarantee you a huge chunk of the US has only a vague idea what a Tesla is and no idea where they are made.

That really is embarrassing. People need to stop treating the media as if they were more than they are. Very few of them have any more information or insight than the guy on the bar stool next to you.

It is hilarious watching the UAW try to torpedo the deal. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

In the scenario where they continuously improve their offerings to not merely match their competitors but to leave them behind completely. Yes, a 100kWh Model 3 would be taking the current market leader and taking it up a significant step. That isn't something the dinosaurs would do. They...

My personal guess is that there is a growing awareness of the potential of Tesla's energy business. Right now most investors are looking at TSLA as essentially an auto company with some associated battery/software/etc side businesses, but the potential market for grid scale battery services is...

I know people here are divided on just how much range is "enough" for an EV. My personal opinion is that with a range of approximately ~430 miles (EPA) the Model 3 would be about as high as it would need to go. My current Model 3 LR is perfectly sufficient for regional road trips with 1 or...

It is sad that he killed himself, but it sounds like that was just the last bad decision in a long string of bad decisions. At a minimum he could have declared bankruptcy, and at 20 he would have had plenty of time to get back on track. I do think it should serve as a cautionary tale that you...

People returning to work is definitely worth celebrating. We were flirting with Great Depression level numbers in some of the economic indicators. The faster people get back to work the better.

Only when it moves down. When the numbers get bigger it isn't because "someone" is doing "something." Since it may not have been sufficiently obvious... I think there are some here who are looking at a squiggly line and trying to invent a narrative to describe motion that is little...

Yes, but after it went down it went up again some. It could be there is more than one actor in the game.

Yes, if you can identify those stocks consistently you can do well at investing.

Or putting it another way, being bullish is a good strategy as long as the stock is moving up.

Amazon has been going downhill in my opinion. Their search results are terrible and littered with "sponsored" products that I want nothing to do with. Their reviews have been abused to the point where they are no longer trustworthy, and Amazon as a whole has a giant counterfeit, etc product...

Also many European gas stations/rest stops have pretty darn good food, certainly far beyond what you would expect at an American equivalent.

Probably some upward movements coming as well. Let's all wait and see if the numbers move up and down today.

What exactly are they measuring from? The timeline at the bottom says "number of weeks from start of bear market," but that would mean the "2020 bear market" is already 69 weeks in.

So you are saying it must be a really big hedge fund working against TSLA this time if it is also manipulating AAPL, MSFT, GOOG, and AMZN. Right?

From Fred: "A dealership in North Miami, Florida, is dropping $20,000 from the price of an I-Pace that initially listed for $73,745. At $53k and change, any version of a new I-Pace is a remarkable deal." ...but here is the thing. Is that actually a "remarkable deal?" That only brings the...

So... does anyone have a theory for what is going on today?

This is more than anything an indication of just how far off they are. They appear to have learned that they need to completely reimagine what they are doing and how they are going about doing it.

Don't you get it? There is no noise. There are not broader market trends. When TSLA goes down it is because nefarious forces are manipulating the stock. Note this isn't true in reverse.

Yeah, that is actually not true. The era of systematic voter suppression in Texas (and all across the South) corresponded with the period the Democratic Party controlled the state. Gerrymandering in Texas is likewise something the Democratic Party embraced for as long as they could, only...

That is true of the entire South, a legacy of the American Civil War. Solid South - Wikipedia

The issue isn't in the West anyway. Essentially all of the developed world is below replacement rate if you exclude immigration. (in some cases far below replacement) Population control is needed desperately in the undeveloped parts of the world but suggesting that makes some people lose...

This is one of the oldest tricks in lazy reporter play book. There is always some idiot with an opinion. You can always write an article about how some idiot has an opinion. A common twist on this is: "people on twitter are tweeting about something," or "some people signed a petition."...

Well, the Reuters article from today said explicitly that they new batteries would be used in China, that implies they will be going into the 3/Y in that market at least.

I don't think it would have to be totally neutral and obviously someone would have to crunch the numbers... but I think a vanishingly small percentage of the buyers of new cars care a bit whether their car lasts anything over 500k miles. I doubt it would even have a meaningful impact on resale...

I know the debate about vehicle to grid has gone round and round, but I am increasingly intrigued by that possibility. Imagine an absolutely immense centrally controlled virtual powerplant that included some percentage of the capacity of all the Teslas with the new million+ mile batteries...

Do you have any examples of cases where he has provided insights that proved out?

I am skeptical that Tesla is by itself a big enough issue for voters that it had any real sway in this election, but the question of how to proceed with lockdowns/etc absolutely could have. There are a lot of people seeing their livelihoods destroyed by these measures.

Speaking as someone who has moved multiple times for work, including overseas multiple times, boo hoo. I am sure if Tesla moves production out of CA they will try to keep as many of their experienced employees as they can. The employees will almost certainly find the new location gives them...

Science isn't an altar for us to all bow down before. Science is a process, and it is one that Elon Musk knows extremely well. Questioning science is the right thing to do. Questioning public policy and holding public officials accountable is the right thing to do.

Elon should take her tweet and put it on 100 billboards across the state. Of course in CA who knows if that would help or hurt her standing.

Please use the quote function so we can all know who here advocated for that.

It makes me think of AOC when she successfully torpedoed the new Amazon HQ. Congratulations for stopping one of those bad billionaires from hiring tons of people at good wages in your local area. Now he will have to do it somewhere else!

Yes, and this is just one example. The county officials would tell you that they are "protecting" the people by ordering their employer to stay closed and preventing them from doing their jobs, contributing to society, or collecting a paycheck for months. Then the same officials act as if they...

The most polite thing I can say in response to these types of posts is that they are ignorant. Of course there is engineering talent in California, it the single most populous state in the country, but the idea that California has some type of generalized "engineering" advantage over Texas is...

That isn't what the statistics show: Florida, Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina (in that order) are the leaders for net US domestic migration. Meanwhile... New York, California, Illinois, New Jersey, Louisiana (in that order) are the biggest losers. List of U.S. states and...
