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

    I've never purchased a call before (sold some covered calls against my current TSLA holdings since 2018) but the January 2022 call at $800 has been looking better and better lately. I know the premium is something like $14k (which is way down since a few weeks ago based on the SP movement the...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    So today I initiated my first roll. I had a CC expiring 2/5 with a strike price of $870. I don't want my shares called away so I rolled to 2/12 $910 but I'm thinking this will be ITM at expiration. Is this normally how people roll? Just kick it down the road until you have a net credit? I have...

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

    A bit off topic here, but I was wondering which lithium stocks everyone here has looked into or is invested in?

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Wow lots of strategy info from the last few pages. I'm very much so a noob at this, but I closed out my first ever options position with a nice premium under my belt from selling a covered call. My question to everyone here is, usually what is the best day of the week to open a covered call?

    Thank you both for answering my question. I figured it was kind of counterintuitive, but I wanted to ask the question anyway since there is a wealth of knowledge between everyone here.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    I was thinking of looking into some longer term calls to sell on top of the weekly selling I'm currently doing. Lets say I don't have the full amount of shares to cover this call, for argument sake lets say 50 of the 100 shares to cover 1 call. Would this be unadvisable? Also, If I did have...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Nice! Trying something in the real world is much different than theory or what you might expect. Earlier today I actually completed my first options trade. 1 Sold Covered call TSLA 1/29/2021 $1010 @ $9.90 I can't imagine it going past that this week even with earnings on the 27th. A very OTM...

    Definitely a good idea to get my feet wet. I've been looking into some lower cost stocks just to get some real trading in, but nothing that will kill me.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Thank you for responding! I definitely agree that nothing can compare to real world trading when emotions come into play versus taking fake money and blowing it. My thought process behind paper trading is just to mess up and figure out why, or win and figure out why. Also, paper trading takes...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Hey everyone! I've read through a lot of this thread (not all of it since that may take forever, but still combing through). I am new to options trading, but I have some friends / people I know that have made some good money from trading options. I currently hold TSLA and believe in what they...

    Hey everyone! I haven't posted on the forums in a while, but I'm back with some noobie Options questions. 2 years ago when I bought my first Tesla I also became a member of this forum. I stumbled into the TSLA Trading section of the forum and really learned a lot from everyone here and from...

    Lockout and Roadside Assistance was useless

    I'm not 100% sure but I my wife told me they used a bladder. I'm guessing they snaked something through the window since they are edgeless and.

    Lockout and Roadside Assistance was useless

    She wasn't on there, so I just added her as the secondary. Thank you for that. It was very odd. Also strange that even Roadside Assistance wasn't able to do anything remotely. The car has LTE and the MCU recently died so it has a new MCU in there as well (refurbished MCU1 from Tesla).

    They'll have to be on hold just like the rest of us.

    They said she wasn't on the account. I don't see anywhere to add people to my account.

    Lockout and Roadside Assistance was useless

    It was in an area where there is good cell phone signal. I was able to connect to the car and turn on the heat, but nothing else worked on the app or from their end. We know about the handles retracting thing, but that wasn't the issue either. Really unhappy with Tesla to say the least. I...

    Lockout and Roadside Assistance was useless

    I have a 2015 Model S 85D. My wife was driving with my daughter and closed the door to walk around to get to the back of the car. The key is still in the car. The door closes and the doors lock. Nothing will open the car not even the app. The both of us (I'm at work) are trying to open the...

    Considering Tesla Solar

    Hopefully I wont catch to much for this post, but here it goes. In March, I picked up my first Tesla (used Model S from Tesla). I have always been curious about the solar aspect since I purchased my house, but the cost of the system vs electricity generation never seemed to add up in my head...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    I have a 2015 85D and ever since I got the V10 update I noticed the biggest Autopilot change I've seen since I got the car (March 2019). It's much more "human like" with dealing with stop and go traffic, easing on the brake/accelerator, braking sooner than before. Obviously didn't get Netflix...

    Tesla Energy Site Updated?

    Powerwalls are on a separate page. They also give you the ability to quote the Solar Roof under the Solar Roof tab.

    Tesla Energy Site Updated?

    Did Tesla change their website when buying solar panels? The pricing seems different and there is no longer an option to purchase Powerwalls. Did I miss something?

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

    So kind of an embarrassing question but what is causing them to still lose money? Is it just they need to produce more cars and thus more money in and lower cost per unit? Please excuse my ignorance

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

    A bit of after-hours happiness. In March, I picked up my first Tesla (Model S). On Monday, I finally took the plunge and bought a good number of TSLA shares right around $180. Yesterday I received my first referral from a long time friend that purchased a Model 3 Performance. I love the car...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    After my car left the SC it had 16.1.1 and on my way to work the AP seemed to work the same as before. Visually it seemed to identify more cars on the road than before (not sure about this). Once I got to work it wanted to install 16.2, which I accepted. I'll see how it goes on my way home. I...

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    Finally have the car back after 10 days. I don't think 10 days (including weekends) was very long. While they had the car they replaced the entire MCU, replaced an air bag (recall), steering rack bolts (recall), and some drain plugs in the trunk area. They gave me a Model S P85+ loaner for the...

    Mine was at the service center for 10 days. I don’t believe this can be fixed mobile.

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    Yea I didn’t think I was in a terrible situation. This definitely wasn’t to complain it was more so to let everyone know in similar situations what may happen.

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    Car is done. As I suspected the MCU was bad.
  38. J

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    That’s a good question. I received a notification from the Tesla App about 30 minutes ago saying “software update complete” however mobile access is now disabled. So your guess is as good as mine.

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    Nothing works if it relies on the main screen.

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    As I was reading your post I couldnt believe they replaced your MCU in a couple days and mine is still sitting there. After I finished I realized we will prob be on the same timeline. I texted them over the weekend and they still haven't even diagnosed my issue yet.

    Preventive eMMC replacement on MCU1

    I think this happened to me the other day. Likely MCU Failure

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    The car is about 3.5 years old. I'm hoping whatever the issue is will be resolved. If it pops up in another 4 years I will likely be out of warranty and the cost will be very high at that point.

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    I'm wondering if this was my issue? As mentioned in the video, when he clicks anything on the screen the write rate jumps up by a lot. My screen froze and went black when I clicked the menu on the main screen.
  44. J

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    I did notice on the loaner that the screen seems to be a higher resolution than the one in my car. When the MCU is replaced do they upgrade the screen as well?

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    I also just opened my Tesla app and it says "In service Estimated completion: May 23rd". Is this usually pretty accurate?

    Hey everyone! Well it looks like the honeymoon is over. On March 22nd I picked up one of the best cars I've ever owned. A November 2015 Model S 85D. I love every minute of driving it until 2 days ago. After work on Monday (May 13th) I was driving home and went into settings to look at...
