If I had 666 cc trading at .72, I'd be looking at taking the early close!
I agree that its unlikely that they go ITM between now and then, but the opportunity could make for some sleepless nights. Hopefully at .72 you have recovered all of the losses accumulated getting into that roll, and you can end that position for break even or even a bit of profit at this point.
Really long dated options are rarely priced under $1. The leverage is just too high to risk. If Tesla were to announce great earnings, and guide to decreased cost of manufacturing leading to the ability to keep dropping price for demand purposes while maintaining high margins, right through the possible recession we're talking about... that could kick off kind of a fast jump in price.
It doesn't even have to push that position into the money for it to increase the value enough that you're effectively locked into the position until a whole lot closer to January.
Just one way to think about it. You've got .72/share left to earn in the position right now. Another way to think about it - if you close early, can you earn that .72 by selling new cc closer in? Heck - you could roll those down to 400s if you think that's a safe strike, and pick up some pretty significant coin if you still like the Jan '24 expiration. Not-advice - just ideas to consider. I don't know what I'd be doing, but this has gotten me thinking about some 3-9 month sorts of strikes at a really high strike. Might get me some income now and if share backed then I can also get a strike that will make me happy later to sell at...
