    I bought a car with FSD and...

    There are still lots of people who believe FSD does not transfer on sale. This question has nothing to do with whether its worth it, whether the seller got more for it, nor whether the computer saying its the full self driving computer or not, its simply whether the car still has after transfer...

    How does margin really work?

    Let's say I wanted to sell some puts periodically, hoping to make some cash without selling shares. Right now I have next to no spare cash in my brokerage account. Because, you know, I used it buying TSLA! :) I think I have heard people recommend selling out of the money puts on margin, when...

    What options does a MS have?

    If I wanted to buy a MS from a dealer or PP, how can I tell what options it has? I like the ev-cpo site as you can see all the options, but since Tesla has done away with the 4 yr warranty...it makes sense to shop around. So how do I tell if it has all the options I want online (without...

    Paydirt's (TSLA) Option Investing Guide

    INTRO TO GUIDE This is for long-term investors... There's a huge opportunity with options that 99% of uber Tesla bulls are simply missing. If the company is grows exponentially as they have--most have reasonable confidence they will--then the investment could be best in an exponential...

    Call spread strategies for high returns and lower risk

    My core TSLA holdings are in shares and calls purchased awhile ago which I don't trade. However, I want to continue investing in TSLA even at elevated volatility and prices, without incurring too much risk. The high implied volatility has made naked calls too expensive, so calls spreads have...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    I decided to create this thread as a more focused variation of the Option Trading and Advice thread, with that focus on the option strategy known as The Wheel. The thing to understand up front - I'm not a financial advisor, nor am I particularly expert in options trading. So far my experience...

    Performance options - All or Nothing?

    Hi. New to the Forum. Hope this is not a dupe. I could not find it. I ordered my Y Perf in Sept. The recent change to the Perf option, where the wheels/brakes/tires/pedals/top speed is a free option to the Perf option package is quite confusing. I assume the drop in range from 315 to 280 is a...

    Buying a Tesla with Tesla stock earnings!

    Anybody else doing this? I have a Model 3. In June I invested heavily in Tesla stock options (option to buy Tesla stock in Jan 2021 and 2022 for $250). Now I have earned enough to pay for the Model 3 that I have. I am well on my way to earning enough for the eight Cybertrucks I have on order...

    Model 3 Chrome Delete?

    Greetings Tesla fans and owners! When you ordered your Model 3, were you given an option to not have chrome but replace that with body-color matching hardware, namely for the door handles? I want to order a Model 3 Long Range in white (soon), but I prefer body-colored handles. Will this be an...

    Most requested features/options/improvements for the Model 3?

    Are there any features, options, or improvements you wish the Model 3 had? Maybe things that are pretty common in most other ICE vehicles? Like air ventilated seats, blind-spot assistance, air suspension, sportier/more aggressive look for the Performance version, etc? I’m probably going to...

    Color options for Cybertruck

    While I'm not sure they'll include any color options, I'm planning on wrapping my Cybertruck and was just messing around in photoshop. Just thought I'd share this to get an idea for different colors. ;)

    Options trading strategy/advice

    Feel free to roast me over this. My excitement will drown out the noise. Quick summary, using call options, I took 55k to 250k, back down to 45k from the massive crash this year, and now it's back up to around 227k. Now that it's around this level, I want to start converting those call...

That's not really all that exciting... Went through all the usual early Model 3 problems with paint...

    Talk me into ordering a Model 3 / case of FOMO

    This post is likely a little early. Some of these questions I likely need to answer for myself I suppose. I need to rent a Model 3 to see how I feel about it likely, but I'm hoping someone will talk me into / out of ordering a Model 3... I'm interested, but... Have a bunch of concerns I guess...

    Selling puts and calls?

    What is your opinion on both selling puts and calls? I assume selling puts alone is a good strategy to acquire stock I don't mind having, but that only works if I have a supply of money from outside this account. I sold a put for 0.99 at $245, then after acquiring the shares, sold a call at...

    Hi...and help!

    Hi all I'm new to the forum and Teslas generally. I'll finally be able to justify changing my car later this year and am determined to get a Tesla (ironically moving from an Alpina B3S, probably one of the worth mpg cars)! I do usually very few miles a year - say 5,000 even allowing for more...

    Is There a Difference Between Early 2015 and Late 2015 85D?

    We currently have a 2015 70D and at the time of shopping for it I thought that ALL 2015's were devoid of the previously defunct "Tech Package". I'm now seeing 2015's (which I assume are earlier model year versions) which indeed have Tech Package. Is there a significant difference from a 2015...

    Any suggestions on Model S options?

    Options package - change spotting

    Fresh off the truck in Dublin today...New MS 100D's with refreshed rear seat had this funny line item on the window sticker: "Premium interior and lighting" for $5000. So looks like they will be adding $1700 to the leather package. Just another reason to get the textile.

    Anyone with a crystal ball...

    ..who can tell what Tesla is up to with Model S? When they discontinue 75 RWD, will they start offering 75D at the same price as RWD? Are they going to stop making 75kwh batteries altogether and instead only have 85 (locked to 75kwh) and 100 options? Is there an interior refresh coming? Is...

    Buying shares vs. buying in-the-money options

    Hi guys, New to the forum, but I've been an avid Tesla follower and stock owner for the last 3.5 years.

    Just Ordered 60D...Do I Upgrade to 75D?

    Hi all, Placed an order for my first Tesla, a 60D, yesterday just before the options change. After placing the order, I noticed that the base price was dropped for the 75D and the power lift gate was added as standard. It was a bummer because I got the premium upgrades package primarily for the...

    How to verify options on a used, non-CPO MS?

    Excited newbie here who can't wait to join the steaks owner community. I'm on a budget though, so I have to find a decent deal on a 2014. So I'm skimming eBay, auto trader, cars.com... etc. Unless a private owner is posting the vehicle, rarely does the listing accurately state the options on...

    Prepay Model 3

    Would it be a great idea if Tesla allowed you to begin prepaying your Model 3 costs now? May help some afford the upgrades/options/extras, reduce loan costs and could possibly be a source of cash that Tesla is looking for?

    New 'Premium' seats for P90D and P100D

Tan and Black leather seats don't affect the delivery...

    Poll: Would you buy an early production Model 3?

    Lottery ticket options

    Another Bonus from Tesla's Stepped-up Model 3 Production Schedule

    Tesla's new objective to move the 500K vehicles/per year from 2020 to 2018 has many implications. But here's one that may not be so obvious: 1. By 2020, Tesla would have most likely passed the 200K US shipment mark and begun the phase-out cycle for the customer $7,500 tax credits. Perhaps only...

    So what are the things that reduce range in a Tesla

    Will initial model 3's only be pricey signature / 4wd versions?

    Unfortunately for Tesla (who make most of their $ on options!) my budget will stretch to a pretty standard car - with maybe one or two options. So do you think the 3 be like the S and X - only available at the start with all the bells and whistles (super fast, extended battery, 4wd, all options...

    Possible Model 3 options based on Model S, BMW, and Audi

    How Many of the Model 3's Options Will be Hardware vs. Firmware Activated?
