TSLA

Hey gang. So last night on the Tesla Q1 F2017 conference call Elon said that there would be a "step change" in manufacturing efficiency when the Model Y comes out. For context, and for those who haven't heard the call yet, this was brought up during a discussion of Model 3. Elon and JB were...

Fremont will be full, so I think Nevada.

Sorry for the long and rambling thread. I just made my first foray into options trading, buying January 2019 put options on TSLA. Since I was previously highly positive on Tesla and was about to place an order for one a few years ago, I thought I would post the reasons why I think TSLA will...

A record number of deliveries helped Tesla more than double revenue in the first quarter, though it posted greater losses than expected, according to the company’s earnings update. Vehicle production increased by 64 percent from this time last year, setting a quarterly record of 25,051...

Holy .......! Teslaraty just posted an article claiming Tesla shareholder with more than $10000 in stock will have access to Spacex IPO shares. Soon! Can some one post the link for others please?

I sold off my 2013 Model S and am contemplating selling my AP 1.0 70D. My hypothesis is that Tesla will announce some significant upgrades to the Model S and Model X vehicles in order to make them more compelling once the Model 3 is revealed. I have been watching inventory vehicles and they...

In terms of other high-potential growth stories in tech, Microsoft and Amazon fit the bill. The question is which has more upside? The common thought is Amazon and I was inclined to agree prior to earnings last week. AMZN results were impressive and it's surely not done growing but the driver...

so one of the things that has been bugging me since the 4Q 2016 earnings call was elon's comments about the model 3 when pressed about a final reveal -- here is the exchange with the analysts: "It's going to be pretty close to what I showed at the Model 3 unveiling, but with more polish and...

while i historically haven't been a frequent poster, i've enjoyed contributing to the Q1 2017 thread, and i have been thinking for a while that it would be helpful to have one place where we could keep track of upcoming catalysts that could impact TSLA (whether positively or negatively); ideally...

Thinking of organizing the annual group lunch after shareholders meeting June 6th 2017. Anyone interested? We usually meetup for price fixed menu and hangout for 2-4 hours (or until people get tired...we never seems to run out of conversation). I with contact restaurant and arrange details if...

I would like to explore the possibility of stock price in the next 6 months to 2 years if the Model 3 launch and ramp is fully successful. Every analyst I see covering the stock has the Model 3 launch either a) not happening b) super slow with an incredibly slow ramp c) slow with their 500k...

If I can remember correctly.....the president promised to bring jobs back to America. Am I correct? GM turns to China for electric vehicle production Well, I guess profits are profits......no matter what. LOL

I recall in March 2016 that Musk said Tesla would double the number of Superchargers by the end of 2017. "By the end of next year, we will double the number of Superchargers and quadruple the number of Destination Chargers," Musk said at the Model 3 unveiling event on March 31. Tesla's...

All the shorts, naysayers and legacy auto investors/supports fear Tesla and do whatever they can to will, wish and hope for Tesla failure. Ponzi Scheme is a label often used. This feedback from seeking alpha is great in pushing back these hopeless fanatics of the old car world: Randy...

I will share my approach on TSLA. It's easy to implement and worked well for me in the past. This "Holding + Trading" approach prevents me from buying high and selling low. 90% for long term investment. Buy and hold only, I expect many fold gain in the next 15 years. 20% for trading. It's for...

Today I read this article A Primer: Electric Car Competition For Tesla 2017-2020 - Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) | Seeking Alpha about tesla's coming competition in the following years. Why will Tesla win the battle vs all the other giant car companies in the EV sector? And what about the Apple...

I am long TSLA (quite heavily so relative to the size of my portfolio) and very much looking forward to a PxxDL Model 3 so I don't fall into this camp but we've seen a lot of negativity on TMC lately regarding the upcoming vehicle. Of course, most of us here are the die-hard fans with...

Some people say we're not even in bubble territory (even Warren Buffett), while other indicators show that the market is pretty overvalued (PER, through Shiller analysis). But as it is better to prevent rather than cure. Do you think Tesla would survive a 2008 like market crash in the next 2...

Apparently, when you e-file this year with Turbo Tax, your refund goes through the Santa Barbara Tax Products Group. They will send you an email saying that there is unusual activity with your account, and you need to upload photo I.D.. Even though it is supposed to take less than 7 days...

It's time to pay the piper for all that interest the shorts were kind enough to give me last year. Does anyone know where we're supposed to report it?

This thread discusses 2017Q1 results. To start the discussion of, here is my model for profit for the automotive side of TSLA. To stress again, the below is strictly for the automotive side of TSLA. The energy side is just too complicated and in flux for me to model. Some of the issues : the...

Tesla is closing in on Ford as the second-most valuable US car company

My family toured Tesla Factory on 3/29/2017 with good friends who were picking up their Red Model S 60D (75D unlockable), exactly a year and a week since I toured it 3/22/2016 when I took delivery of my Model X P90D F00041X. You can't take photographs, but I can tell everyone that there is an...

Elon's tweets yesterday created a lot of conversation. Thought it would be useful to have one place for this discussion from an investor's perspective.

Just saw this tonight (note the ad on top. I hovered over it to see the linked site: teslamotors.com): Later I saw a better one, but couldn't catch a pic. And yes, it links to the website.

I don't even know what to say about this... but I feel that it has some long term investing relevance: Why American Farmers Are Hacking Their Tractors With Ukrainian Firmware - Motherboard It seems unwise for any company to pursue the John Deere path. Something to watch out for.

BYD is down substantially I guess since the Buffett Bounce. I think they are positioning to be the low price battery and automotive competitor long term. Not Tesla quality but may be a big deal worldwide for small inexpensive cars, the huge China market and batteries. I am tempted to start some...

Investors(TMC posters and otherwise) universally cheered the SolarCity/Tesla shift away from packaged PPA solar leases to outright sales as a logical move toward building shareholder value. While I appreciate the clear-as-day profitability that simple installations provide, I would argue that...

Hi Fellow Tesla Investors, I am making a list of all of Tesla's Capital raising's and wondered if any American's on the forum can help me the best way to find these? I don't know the relevant SEC filing code to look for or if there is another efficient way to locate these as a google search...

An executive team shake-up was part of the news from Tesla’s Q4 2016 earnings report. Below are a few noteworthy items from the call. Tesla announced the resignation of CFO Jason Wheeler and the hiring of Deepak Ahuja, who served as Tesla’s CFO from 2008 until 2015. The Model 3 on...

Having moved back from the US to the UK, i can not use my old etrade account anymore. Does anybody have any recommendations for a good UK based trading account with low fees? i'm not interested in the ISA options. I just want to be able to trade NASDAQ and TSLA with low fees? any ideas? most...

Now that we're passed Q4 2016 earnings there are several events that have the potential of being major catalysts. Specifically, a capital raise, which I believe will come in the next few months, and a Model 3 update. The capital raise is particularly worrying because I think it will be a cloud...

Too soon? With 50,000 cars projected in the first half and TE showing 130 million in Q4 revenue and projections for faster growth from TE then TA, what is Q1 looking like? I think Q1 deliveries are likely around 25,000, but production is likely possibly below 25,000 due to 2-3 weeks of down...

hi all, I've been following a couple of the investor discussions threads here and, while very interesting, it's tough to keep up with the pace of posts in the particularly popular threads. So, if this has addressed recently, please point me to that thread but here goes: The exciting run in...

I see I’ve written something more along the lines of an essay than a comment to start a thread, but, I still hope it’s useful and starts a discussion. It appears very probable we have an enormous moat around the growth of Tesla’s vehicle business the market does not yet explicitly appreciate...

It's a logical move. Would it be negative or perhaps by eliminating an uncertainty actually trigger higher prices?
