Easy. Jon works for Elon let's not make it complicated.

Jon works for Elon? As in Tesla? Or as in an authorized media source?

I am told specifically be several Tesla staff that staff are NOT allowed to post here.

The tenor of the comments that I am talking about is: Hey - I want a Tesla so instead of waiting and saving my money - I'll just pick up a $100K roadster while I wait for my $35K M3. No problem.

Used roadsters start around $50k.

Ok...let me change my post.

You are waiting for a $35K car....so....lets use that spare $50K we have laying around until the $35K car is available.

I would suppose the contributor and her husband actually saved the money, because laying it around sounds like a quite silly idea indeed.

And come to think of it: a 50K$ Mk1 roadster could today perhaps be a type of investment...

Yes. His name is Jon McNeill and he's in charge of Global Sales and Service. He's frequented this forum on several occasions.

The OP has 2 posts (hardly ”frequenting this forum on several occasions") and says he's from Alabama. I don't think he is who you think he is.

Sorry you're right. The poster I'm talking about is @JonMc (Jon McNeill from Tesla).

Same here! I do work hard, have a well paid job, live in a rich country, I don't have a family (no wife or kids).

I could afford a $100K car, but I would have to cut corners everywhere..

 

[No2DinosaurFuel]

$192 a few hours ago? ouch.

Is it time to buy yet?

You missed it. it's 192.7 now.

I smell a drop in the stock price on Monday.

I was just making a joke that delaying this event would cause a drop in the stock price. Whether or not it was part of an overall industry drop is irrelevant. In fact, I didn't even care if there really was a drop. Although it did make me look like I knew what I was talking about.

That's it, I'm buying a Bolt!!






Nah, jk

I buy my TSLA stock in fractional increments via Sharebuilder(now Capital One).

My buys are scheduled for every other Tuesday at around 11am.

For some reason, my transaction didn't go through until around Noon ET.

I'd like to thank CNBC's sloppy journalism, as it allowed me to scoop up a little more than normal at a bargain price, and by the end of the day, I was already making a profit on the shares I just purchased hours earlier.

Sometimes someone else's sloppy reading comprehension skills can work in your favor.

There have been no press invites as far as I know so that limits things a little.

 

[ModelNforNerd]

There have been no press invites as far as I know so that limits things a little.

Seth Weintraub, one of the co-founders of Electrek, tweeted (and quickly deleted) a tweet a few minutes ago. I didn't capture it, but it said (paraphrasing mine):

"Last minute guess for product announement: powerwalls sold in tesla stores"

Sorry I didn't capture the tweet. but I replied to him and said: "You say last minute as if you know what time the announcement will be". His tweet was immediately deleted.

Soooo....this could be another "launch" similar to the P100D. A conference call with a select few media, with a "release embargo", followed by Tesla and Elon making the announcements via Twitter and the webpage, and then opening it up to the media.


We shall see, I guess.

Elon tweeted a little while ago, it will be at 5PM California time.
