I've been doing my best to attenuate my stock market emotional maturity. You can read that as my ability to discern catalysts and their affect upon stock prices.
Will China be a catalyst?
Will Tesla predict "reckless growth"?
Two considerations here, I am absolutely confident in the long-term prospects of Tesla in China, and I am absolutely uncertain of the Wall Street reaction.
But Tesla won't attend Beijing auto show. Not sure why? Maybe don't want to stir too much demand

Many new loans are going to consumers who previously had little chance of getting funding

Afew short years ago, “subprime” was almost an expletive. During the financial crisis, mortgages linked to subprime borrowers – or those with poor credit history – caused devastating losses; so much so that many asset managers declared they would never touch subprime again.
But the financial world has a short memory, particularly when easy money and innovation collide. In recent months subprime lending has quietly staged a surprisingly powerful return, not in relation to real estate, but another American passion – cars. Some wonder how long it will be before this new boom causes another wave of casualties, not just among naive consumers, but investors too.

That is an interesting theory. I prefer to think that Elon occupies himself with more creative ventures and contemplations. Hurting the shorts is a side effect of these creative ventures. They will be hurt anyway, people can not be saved from themselves.:wink:

Elon Musk is already in China?
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is in China for talks with China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (SNP_) to build charging facilities in their nationwide service-station network, according to a Chinese media report today, the Wall Street Journal reports.

BTW, I don't trust thestreet.com, because they have written many factually incorrect articles in the past.

Elon is not in China NOW. He will be there on April 19th, and participates Beijing Auto Show on April 20th. Then two days later, he will deliver the first Model S in person.
I got the news from Chinese media.

I would guess he's in Florida until at least 5pm today when Space X launches for the space station and the Falcon zero met does its first test of the re-entry by deploying the landing legs over an ocean splash down. Should be fun. The China thread has him in aching on the 19th, though he may go earlier to acclimate.

Now owns 2 Model S's!!!
Elon normally supervises SpaceX launches from the mission control center at SpaceX HQ in Hawthorne. He traditionally sits in the front row, center console.
Sucks indeed but I'm not surprised to see any red today.
Like I said earlier, what's it going to take for TSLA to turn around? NASDAQ is up today, volume does not support today's price drop, and too much potential good news for Tesla.
