I picked up some Jan '15 150 calls at $27 ... appears to be the low for the day so far. Down 7% from yesterday's ask.
Commented on the CNBC story, referencing Bloomberg's decision to revise the headline.

Vested shares are not necessarily 'exercisable' shares. It's standard procedure that employees can not trade shares in their company during specified periods, also known as 'insider trading'.

I bought 6 , Jan 17 145 put @ 3.05 and sold @ 4.30. Is it good idea to buy puts again for over the weekend?

funny a couple of articles mention fireS in headline but read the article and you will see reportS of a fire. funny how the placement of the s can change things. journalists should pay more attention to their craft
I have a competent electrician, and in 5 years and two cars have had no trouble. Do people think it would be nice to write to Tesla and volunteer NOT to get a new adapter? And tell the news media that there are Tesla owners supporting the company in this way?
Anyway, I just sent the following to ownership:

My guess Tesla would prefer that you have the new adaptor. After the design and tooling is done and paid for, and as these are injection molded, the cost per individual adaptor is likely only a couple of dollars/unit anyway. Plus, in your travels, you might happen to plug into an outlet of questionable quality.

This.
Smart move on Tesla's part to add some certainty in the part they can control (the adapter) to deal with uncertainty in the parts they can't control (the socket, the wall wiring).
Yahoo stills lacks the correction:

- Tesla Remedies Wall Charger...at Wall St. Cheat Sheet (Fri 2:14pm)
- Tesla Drops on Concerns Ove...at TheStreet (Fri 1:47pm)
... or maybe I fail to refresh ? The yahoo finance news links are all different now.

In year 1 of the Chevy Volt, back in 2011, the Level 1 adapter was wired somewhat poorly and caused some plug burning (120V). They replaced the unit entirely but required the old one handed back. This is a possible liability issue if you choose not to take the new, upgraded unit, and then end up with a claim and your insurance company finds out that you did not follow the advice of the vendor with their request for you to use the upgraded unit. Even thinking of saving Tesla some money - consider taking it anyway so you can wipe away any non-compliance liability on your part. "Just eat your broccoli, it's good for you."

Zzzz. Thx. Could someone please post the full txt. Even the little bit that I can see of the article suggests that Strickland is saying that NHTSA us trying to decide if a thicker plate on bottom is needed or not. So in other words, this IS the solution that NHTSA is thinking about (as opposed to other potentially expensive solutions such as relocating the battery). Battery relo would've been devastating. Plate thickness isn't terribly painful unless exotic materials are demanded at that doesn't appear to be the case.... Just thicker aluminum if anything at all
I'm not happy with this lengthy investigation at all and in my opinion a thicker plate isn't needed at all because even in the event of a battery puncture the driver is warned and the car shuts down and driver has minutes to exit the vehicle. In other words, there's no safety issue. It's already been said that no amount of plate thickness will stop the 25 tons per sq inch of force caused by the lever action of the trailer hitch.

NHTSA Still Studying Tesla Fires, Departing Administrator Says
Strength of Lower Shielding on Model S Questioned After Two Fires
Mike Ramseyconnect
Jan. 10, 2014 5:22 p.m. ET
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration continues to study Tesla Motors Inc.'s Model S on whether the shielding underneath the vehicle is strong enough after two vehicles in October burned after running over road debris.
David Strickland, the departing NHTSA administrator David Strickland, in an interview Friday, said "Tesla has been very helpful in providing information" and that the investigation continues.
Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has said the vehicle is safe, but took action to cover any fire damage under the vehicle warranty and is installing software that raises the vehicle at highway speeds to avoid similar accidents.
In both cases, the driver of the vehicle had time to park the car and get out before the fire spread to the rest of the vehicle.
In separate news, Tesla is attempting to remedy problems with in-home chargers that could overheat. Tesla says poor wiring could cause overheating and in December sent an over-the-air software update to address the problem. The company said Friday it was sending owners a new wall charging adapter with a thermal fuse over the next few weeks to fully correct any issue.
