Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

So yesterday I was trying to sell -p165's, but it missed my limit order, even with the dump into close, by 5cents...

I thought today's CN numbers would hit the stock, but so far they haven't been reported on the newswire, as far as I can see, and/or the markets don't care - maybe our mystery buyer is at it already, or perhaps it's just the RT/FSD hopium still keeping things going

Anyway, I shall persevere!
Well, I "got lucky", put my sell order in well before opening and it triggered at the high of the day while I was getting a back massage...

So, now rolled 4/12 100x TSLA -c165 to 4/26 100x -165 straddle for +$11.5

Still not understanding why TSLA is up so much, even now I'm more concerned with downside

NVDA and SMCI down on the news on home-grown Google AI chips I guess? A bit of a mess there with my 7x NVDA -p950's, but may as well roll them for a bit...

SMCI I also have 2x -p1000, but IV is so high on this stock that rolling is OK, plus sold against Jan 2026 +p800's so no worries there really

They even getting articles like this printed;)
I don't get it - it says Tesla will only have 6% of charging stations??

"BNEF estimates that annual worldwide public-charging revenue will rise to $127 billion by 2030, with probably the most familiar company — Tesla — on track to mop up $7.4 billion, or around 6%, of all that business."

And it looks like they mean $730 ANNUAL profit in 2030.
 
[Off-topic ON] Still enjoying my SMCI 5/3 -C 1125 which I sold for a whopping 72.74, (now doing 23.8) and 6/21 -C 1610 sold for 32.84 (now 12.40)
SOFI jan 2026 +C10 still no gain/loss
PLTR various 2025 and 2026 +C are at a total 2 dollar loss
Novo Nordisk '26 +C LEAPS are on a 5 dollar loss now
GM dec 26 P35 is losing as well, 2.50
So mixed results on the long term in other stocks, but net very positive

At $179 today I BTC the rest of my -P250 9/20/24 for small loss against previous gains to take risk off the table. Likewise used the pop to BTC several -P220 9/20/24 at b/e (opened these a few weeks before Q1 P&D)

Only downside risk holding now is 15x -P300 6/18/26 @115.76 (net SP $184.24; extrinsic currently $7.65; appears it can handle TSLA down to $143.50 area, then will need to see about rolling down and out).

Also
STO a few -C205 6/21/24 @7.85
STO a few -C260 1/17/25 @12.00
