All discussion of QuantumScape QS

This video is well worth a watch, especially for their comments on Tesla and Battery Day.

We don't know how much better Li-ion batteries can get or how much cheaper, so the bar keeps getting raised.

Up 9% right now. Amazing. It seems no one has gotten the memo that this product won't exist for years.

WOW! Wish I had bought more QS... E*TRADE is currently paying me 212.3318% to loan out my QS shares. (Meaning that shorts are paying ~425% to short it?)

I don’t have enough options experience to fell comfortable acting on this but WTF? I was looking to buy a put but OMG. The stock has to be cut in half by June just to break even. Makes me want to sell a put.

BTW he has serious background in batteries research / engineering:

It's shorted beyond belief. That's gonna cause some periodic squeezing, no?

Dear lord, wait til the Robinhooders get their $600 check. Can't buy a share of TSLA, BUT.......

Crazy. My DEC17'21 40c is now at $48. Bought for $7.64.....

EDIT: $50

EDIT again: $54 at close....

Could be that folks are liking QS to AAPL car announcement?

 

[SMAlset]

Have been pleased it stayed trading in the 60s and 70s since Battery Day. Just checked now and see it hit a 52-week high of 95.52 and closed at 94.90 and AH still at 99. Sweet.

 

[SMAlset]

Did catch Sandy Munro’s talk and he said he believes given their progress already that they will be producing batteries in two years. Not sure how that will pan out but would be nice.

Seriously... Can someone explain why $QS is $110 in AH?

That's what a lot of us want to know. No compelling news so far to support the drastic jump today.

Perhaps someone knows something, and we'll get an announcement tomorrow.

That being said, could be hype. I know I put a sell order in for my share, and would be happy to trade the QS over to an ARKK share.

Any word on whether Cathie Wood has resolved her issues with control of her company?

Just a guess: Rumors about Apple car using next level monocell batteries. Could that be QS-batteries?

 

[Johan]

This seems very bubbly to me.

In her latest interview she said that they are in discussions and that she thinks it will be resolved soon.

In a similar situation here. I bought Dec 2021 $75 back a whole 2 weeks ago. Wasn't sure what to expect, but it wasn't a lot of money and seemed a good loss vs profit potential. Certainly didn't expect this.

Now looking at selling Dec 2021 $130 against those options I bought. I could double my money on that alone. And if it actually went past $130, well, that seems like a good problem to have.

However, doing something similar with TSLA back in March is how I lost out on about a half million so I'm pretty gun shy.

 

[reardencode]

I guess these Jan '21 30p are gonna be worthless. Stupid market and it's enduring irrationality.

I'm that article, which I presume is the same article found on CNBC, Li-ion batteries were mentioned, as in not solid state type. So it wasn't hinting Quantumscape.
