For the first time since May this morning I took off a slight amount of money off of TSLA and bought into SPWR Sunpower. Sunpower announces earnings tomorrow. Solar industry and Tesla go hand in hand in my opinion and I think short term they stand to grow faster than Tesla to "catch up" if earnings keep beating.

Agree, there is no way the I3 can compete with Model S and Future models. also keep in mind that BMW dealer love their high profit service charges. They had the audacity to quote $400 to replace one tire on my 2007 335xi. I ordered the same exact tire from tire rack for $220 and had it mounted and balanced for $35. During another visit to the bmw dealer I witnessed a service advisor recommend a battery and windshield wipers to an older lady for $680 ouch.
I replace my battery my self for $110.
good info Curt and always love your insights but one minor correction on the above point, keep in mind that everyone who shorts today will not be accounted for in the Aug 9th NASDAQ short interest publication. Per their site below:
NASDAQ Short Interest Publication Schedule
the settled short positions as of July 31st will be published on Aug 9th. If I short TSLA today then that short position isn't 'settled' until Friday Aug 2nd because there is 3 business day settlement process for 99% of US stock trades.

This does not make sense to me so I appreciate anyone can shed some light on this.
When do you think is the time when Citron pull off the short trigger? Right at the time they tweet, or before? I believe they short it before today. If so from the price they were wrong until they tweeted it. If they were wrong then why people follow them to start this cascade of down falling? It seems if you get big enough, you could impact the market no matter whether you are right or wrong, at least temporarily, as the case for GS 2 weeks and here happening right now. But it won't sustain. Even when they short, what is the time horizon and instrument? Shorting against the Q2 seems very risky.
I can see a lot of retail investors and day traders get sucked into this maelstrom. I would short by selling a weekly call when it traded @ 135. However I already have a short weekly call @130, not perfect timing, but enough to protect my account.
In any case, this is a much needed break I've been hoping for!

oh got it. It is the new badge for TESLIVE 2013. I could see myself have 10 of these in a row. 
The majors are deliberately making ugly golf carts to keep interest in EVs low so they can continue to sell their ICEs and sleep with Big Oil. At $40K would most people buy a BMW 3 or a golf cart? I'd buy a BMW 3. At $40 K would most people buy a BMW 3 or a Gen 3? I'd buy a Gen 3. End of speculation ;-)
That is exactly it, these institutions are temporary manipulating the stock. But it is not a bad thing, it is actually a good thing for Tesla. When Tesla goes down, it creates more room for Tesla to again to go up. And every time this happens it creates more and more publicity for Tesla. These short term bumps will correct themselves, but the publicity that Tesla gains will help polish the brand. The more exposure Tesla gets, the more attention they get and that translates to sales.
The cascading is not necessarily due to anyone who is aware of Citron's announcement. Cascading usually occurs when shareholders have set up automatic stop loss limits. They each have separate limits, but they all fall like stacked dominoes one after another after a trigger has knocked over the first few.

Which however would mean that at the current level, maybe half of them should be able to buy back at a lower price (the first half).

An analogy comes to mind: Musical chairs... I don't feel like playing that game right now.

It`s Just another Tuesday, except we`re climbing back up! Good for me since I`m allin already!
Indeed, but they may have to act quickly. The price is back to the midday level of both yesterday and today. Meanwhile, for those of us who have been shareholders for some time, this is shrugged off as just another blip. It's those that have bought recently who may have little patience and set tight stops. Many of those are day traders.
