I am definitely holding into earnings. I was confidant TSLA would hit 150 before the EOY but now I’m thinking before the end of Q3…short squeeze #3:scared:When will they ever learn!

... I know I shouldn't wish ill will, but personally I hope it takes them a bit of time to figure it out...

I am holding through earnings ... bought sept calls for this purpose . Expecting a great earnings call

Same strategy here. I'm holding onto the stock regardless.

But I expect a good call and better guidance and supporting my position with a few calls.

Monday morning opening prediction! I think there will be a negative bias from the amazing climb on Friday; I also think that the excellent news out of TESLIVE will act as a positive force (commitment to improving the car via updates, restating production strength, etc. continuing the slow leakage of tidbits as we approach the Q2 announcement). Those two factors will cancel each other out, so I think it will open around Friday's close (versus substantially lower or higher), and broadly speaking, maintain its position.

Barclay's just released a downward revision to Q2 EPS based on lease accounting ... This could affect the stock tomorrow in a significant way.

I feel like this issue is unsettled. If third party banks are financing (not leases at all, just loans) why wouldn't Tesla realize the entire purchase price up front?

 

[blakegallagher]

I believe it is because with the "leases" Tesla Guarantees the purchase price of the vehicle. So even though they get the same (or slightly better) cash flow they can not book all of the profit until the "lease" is done and Tesla offers to buy back the car.

 

[austinEV]

I assumed such guarantees would be off the books, because that is expressly an agreement between Mr. Musk and the buyers?

 

[blakegallagher]

I think It is backed up by Tesla. If Tesla were to somehow fail , then Elon would personally back up the buy back promise. I think this is seen as less and less of a risk

All good news. Looking for an entry point to buy more stock but it seems that each day ends in ATH! Anyone see a pull back soon?

It seems like the stock is often up in pre-market hours and then goes down as soon as normal trading starts. Has anyone else noticed this pattern or is it just me? It also seems to recover from the opening loss but I guess investors without access to pre-market trading take profits? Does anyone care to speculate?

I hope for a Musky Monday! I think a new pile of shorts are coming/here. I need them to make me wealthy lol

I'm sure most people have notices this including me. I've also noticed it seems to hit a low around 7am my time (pacific) then slowly climb back up during the day. If your looking to buy, do it then! I'm a complete newbie however so maybe don't do what I recommend.

Well, this might be a bit overconfident ;-)

Elon stated the availability of enough battery cells as one of the biggest challenges in the future. It sounded to me as if manufactures are going to hit their maximum capacities soon. I'm wondering how quickly Tesla could scale up not taking internal limitations into consideration. Are they able to buy cells for e.g. 40k cars/year today?
