I find there to be a time disconnect between the company and the stock; it is true for most companies though. The market reaction starting in January might have been anticipating Q1 deliveries and general concern with the EV sector. That is the challenge of the trading game; cause and effect are connected in opaque ways.
Me, I am too emotionally connected to Tesla to trade it too much. I have longer-term objectives there and can focus on it. I have no such link to NVDA, so I can be much more mechanical in my approach there; I want to acquire a position long term, but will play the wheel to get there.

Got 2 cars with FSD. Not betting against the Future. Seen it. Waiting for 155-160 pullback for selling Puts and going Long.
Lots of drinking in your neck of the woods @Max Plaid ? Of course, just joking…I was out drinking yesterday lunchtime and ended up continuing through the evening. Discovered my broker phone app doesn't work for BTC, lets you pick that option, but then flips to BTO on the confirmation screen! So ended up at my friends house on his Mac with a QWERTY keyboard (I use AZERTY), hardly able to see straight as I was so drunk, closing everything out
Still, got it all done, although prices could have been better if I'd caught it after the FUD dump rather than before
25x -c160 -> 25x 5/24 -c170 @$8.5, net -$1
STO 100x 5/3 -p170 ($4.1)
Those 4x SMCI 5/3 -p1000's beginning to look OK, will be a nice outcome if they go OTM
Yeah, I really should shift to $1 premium, but as they're calendar spreads, they normally roll OK, unless you get a gap up/down like we had after earnings...
Well it is Brussels, the beer is pretty good here, you know
Actually I drink way less than I used to, but still too much tbh
One of the only nice things about the progression of years is that it often takes less to achieve the same result. ;-0
Since it's the weekend...I PMd the Mobileye solution and we parted ways due to the ME CEO being too conservative, same with Bosch, and not moving fast enough to 3d vision which Jenson was happy spin up with us. I've heard Jenson then didn't move fast enough with their edge GPU. The rest of the story is in Walter's book which is a lovely read. Ashok and Dhaval will go down in history as the FSD guru's, amoung others.
This was a big event, so I read through the PDF and supplemental on spaces, here's the recording for those that are

Now after reading that I am hesitating to throw in all the money I have into more TSLA Leaps
BREAKING: A new Tesla FSD/AP blamed fatality
Driver admits to being distracted by looking at his phone while “putting trust in the machine to drive for him.” Clearly he’s at fault (must keep eyes on the road while using FSD) but this can give the critics about Tesla’s alleged distracted monitoring weakness a lift. (Although regular ICE cars without any AP have ZERO distracted driving monitoring/disconnections…)
If FSD/AP was indeed engaged it should have braked, hence the logs will likely show it wasn’t active at that moment(?)
Let see if this starts a new FUD cycle about FSD/AP safety and drains air from TSLA:

Elon just landed in China, and It looks like Tesla China's FSD data infrastructure in China has passed all requirements for data processing for M3 and MY:
@tivoboy are you still bearish or do you plan to go long or what do you need to see before you go long?
Safety critical code, like AEB, is Rock solid at motorcycle detection unless the driver ignores warnings with explicit throttle actuation.BREAKING: A new Tesla FSD/AP blamed fatality

Reflecting on this week, it was pretty brutal. To be correctly positioned for garbage earnings, only for the stock to reverse rather than crash more was nasty, whether this was "Market dynamics", manipulation, earnings not as awful as expected, change of sentiment, don't know, probably a mix of everything
It was essentially a $300k flip for me - if I had sold off my July +p150's the day before earnings I had +$150k profits, +$220k cash back into my portfolio. Instead those puts went back to $7 value and the -c140's I had written went -$150k instead
So what did I learn? Well the same lesson as the last time I had some +p's that went 2x on a dip -> take the profits immediately. Like before, I was waiting for more, I had a "game plan", TSLA always dumps 10% on earnings, even on a beat, except this time if didn't, so it goes
Fortunately this was not a "bet the farm" trade and I had plenty of leeway to get out of it, it's just annoying, especially as I was lining-up retirement from the day job if my strategy had played out
So we live to fight another day, hopefully a little wiser and able to make better decisions next time around

You will discover the results of the investigation 18 months from now. If FSD was proven to not be engaged, it will not be reported widely, if at all.BREAKING: A new Tesla FSD/AP blamed fatality

The propaganda is real, relentless and effective. Will never stop.
