Model X 2019
Answer: "Yes, but don't get too excited. Don't expect more than 2000 produced and 1500 delivered."
And they will immediately be at a GM of 25%. And the reservation list is 600k.

If you personally know any shorts/bears, please reach out to them.
Explain to them the risks of a short squeeze, and show them what happened in April 2013.
Explain to them the long-term competitive advantage Tesla has with its Gigafactories.
And, if they still choose to stay short, explain to them that they can at least somewhat hedge their exposure with OTM call options.

I didn't think it likely as short-term as today, but now with TSLA pushing $357 for like the 3rd time, it may keep pushing through!
NOTE: $360 is double what it was at when Mark B.S. gave his nonsensical speech around 6 months ago.
NOTE #2: I think it's fair to say Tesla's market cap has passed that of BMW, and Tesla is now the world's third-largest "automaking company" by market cap.

We have owned three Volvos; one was the freshly minted 960. We also turned our nose on them around 2004 as we returned to Toyota. Notice I have not mentioned any US brands. If you look at what heat, if you will, Tesla and faithful buyers, and share holders have endured since 2011 you might understand my middle finger facing the competition and fossil fuel industry. My wife and I have been buying cars together since 1973, and managed new cars in almost all cases on a single income. We have always tried to buy based on safety and miles per gallon.
GM had a head start on the alternative world of electric cars, but through piss poor protoplasm (PPP ~ her view) or crappy management (what I call it) or corruption (you might call it) they lost the edge. Ford, well, not sure what planet they are on. Mercedes had the edge on driverless cars and again with crappy management they are off balance.
Historically had Ford faced a hostile stock market like today, had Ford tried to put in place gas stations, had Ford tried to refined fossil fuel ~ well we would still be riding horses and producing our own gasses
Tesla is manufacturing cars, yes with fewer parts, Tesla is doubling SuperCharging statins this year, and beginning Gigafactory production of the batteries.We barrowed our son-in-laws pickup, used to be ours back in March, to haul old dry rotten wood to the dump. Applying acceleration in the truck is noisy, fossil fuel intensive/consuming and down right sluggish. I was really glad to be back in my MX. Those of you still waiting for your M3; if it is a stereotypical Tesla, you are in for the ride of your life.
Everything said here is based on more years than most of you can count (still have 30 yrs in the tank) worth of hours behind the wheel (including tanks and artillery pieces), buying, and performing maintenance. Tesla exceeds them all, bar none.
I want the competition to help gut the fossil fuel industry/lords by going electric or some other alternative form of fuel. Their (competition) problem is that they are slow on the uptick and are no where near sustainable yet. It takes intelligence, time, and money ~ above all great management.
I am looking forward to the kick off of solar roofs
Outside of earnings weeks , TSLA does not have a greater intra-week range of 22 dollars this year. In fact it is remarkably stable at a 20-22 dollar limit on many occasions. We are already pushing on 20 dollars and its only Tuesday.
Maybe an extension of that range will be any early indicator of the squeeze?

Watching the Level 2 and the tape today is very interesting. Usually when someone parks a huge offer 25 cents above the last price, it scares the bid down, anticipating the offer will lower, and they can then buy the shares for less.
Today? Big offers get taken out by a quick price spike upwards, then price re-stabilizes in the same range as it was before. One example was 1:01pm (eastern) - 67 lots showed up on 357.50, last trade was ~357.15. Few seconds later, those 67 lots (6700 shares) got instantly taken out, causing the volume spike you see on that minute on the 1m chart.
Edit - clearly this is a case of very determined accumulating buyer(s) trying to buy as much as they can before bumping another ATH...

Agreed. Any meaningful analysis of the likelihood, strength, and duration of a short squeeze has to consider near term option volumes and open interest and how they change dynamically.

This is like a python squeeze instead of a short squeeze. Long and drawn out until the shorts suffocate. I really hope none of them are jumping out of windows by the end of this month.

I'm starting to think I might like to buy more shares at $324.
Will we see a 10% pullback or keep charging up to $390?

Unless there is a problem with Model 3 rollout, I doubt we'll see $324 ever again.

We might actually close above 360 today. I'd say it is unlikely, but it is far from impossible. I think Elon is going to get a standing ovation today.
(And by that I mean a real standing ovation. Not the ones Melissa McCarthy/Sean Spicer likes to talk about)

Doug Kass believes hedge funds are being forced to cover Tesla short positions: Douglas Kass on Twitter
Of course stubborn retail shorts will likely be the ones left holding the bags.
