Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

yea .. next announcement is battery swap.. based on his answer... or maybe not...

He pretty much dismissed it though :/ albeit after stumbling

 

[johnnydop]

He seemed sly in how he said, "today is about charging". Almost seems like he said "today" in a slightly emphasized manner without even realizing it.

WHat else could the "under you nose" announcement be anyway.

"It will be in the family of the Model S" after asked whether or not Gen III could represent a departure of previous designs. Love it!

Except that they're rolling out tons of superchargers which seems to assume you don't have a metal air battery.
And he said, "maybe we'll have something to say about that in the future" in reference to the question about battery swapping.

Yeah, he sounds open to the concept but is unsure if it's practical or the way they want to go. I don't blame him - it's messy.

Maybe an add-on battery instead of a battery swap?

Stock is not reacting well to this.

It's not really reacting at all. Looking at the stock line for the day, there's no way to tell there was any announcement good or bad.

Elon need to lay off athe announcement until volatility drops back to 0.6. Right now, everyone who follows TA is thinking about short volatility.

The fact that its holding tells me that the "sell on news" folks are just offsetting the new buyers coming in. Perhaps once the analysts wrap their heads around the data their could be positive comments coming from them.

Also remember that Jim Cramer will be test driving it tonight and Elon will on CNBC tomorrow morning. All could be nice little catalysts. I think Cramer will love the car and be relly happy when he says the expanded SC station roll out.

He did mention in the call that after june 20th they will be laying off the announcements.
Keep in mind the selling of shares, DOE loan payback, Elon buying a ton of shares.. all were a result of the stock skyrocketing. so they had extra announcements.

Wall Street has been slow to *grasp* the last couple of Tesla announcements and they've repeatedly totally missed some key aspects. It's like they can't wrap their brains around what Tesla is doing.

Can't agree with that more! I am puzzled but pleased with opportunity it presents. It is this kind of slow reaction give me plenty of opportunities.

Anywhere there will be streaming of Cramer on the Tesla?

Same question for me. Or will it be part of his usual segment at 6 PM EST on CNBC?

 

[ShortSlaver]

I'm not sure if it's Wall St. being slow to grasp or if it's sort of what everyone assumed. This isn't surprising news and although there's no angels to what it means, there's possibly a feeling that this kind of thing is priced in. Elon isn't the type to hype things like "this will lead to much more profit" but he acknowledges that this will spur more mainstream acceptance and that other manufacturers can possibly join them. Let everyone speculate on what kind of money that could bring in.

An actual company signing on to use their tech and paying for it would move the stock the right way.

Perhaps most of this was baked into the price already?

They don't seem to understand the power that a map with specific dates on it put in the hands of the sales force. That and 20 min recharge time.

Say goodbye to that measly 25% conversion rate...
