Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2015

[FluxCap]

It is funny to read all the "revised" analyst which on the other hand, almost in a copy-paste manner are talking about the potential the company has long term. I don't think the stock will go much further down iMHO.
Guys, will be in the office tomorrow and as I simply haven't had time to look about any news, ANR, reports etc at the terminal, will do it tomorrow for you.

don't lose your nerves, stay long and strong, enjoy life and keep on supporting this revolutionary company!

wish you all a lovely weekend

Thanks, Derek!

whats the over/under on a positive article from TST?

The way things are going. I will take the under (a protective put) on that one.

 

[anticitizen13.7]

whats the over/under on a positive article from TST?

My guess is that TST will be pleasantly surprised by progress at Tesla, and will publish a mildly positive article.

Estimated Effect on TSLA: Zero. At this point, uncertainty is putting downward pressure on the stock, and only solid quarterly performance and Model X can change this.

Irrational pessimism is afoot.

I am sorry guys. The stock dipped because I got food poisoning and came down with a big flu in Varanasi.

I am sorry guys. The stock dipped because I got food poisoning and came down with a big flu in Varanasi.

Just three days ago I was thinking "I sure hope Causalien doesn't get food poisoning in Varanasi because that'll surely cause TSLA to tank," and now you confirm my fears. Thanks at least for fessing up about it.

That looks like self-fulfilling prophecy in which Causalien got caught

So, my take on this is TM is applying pressure to Panasonic to not only produce more batteries but to push money/tech into the GF faster than it is already doing.

If I find true love on the road, will surely gives you guys a heads up. It'd be pretty hard though as I am currently disguised more like a beggar.

 

[Drax7]

Jim Cramer is the ceo of TST, not sure if that is a positive. Cramer goes out of his way to malign tesla.

Compares tesla to Enron .

So, my take on this is TM is applying pressure to Panasonic to not only produce more batteries but to push money/tech into the GF faster than it is already doing.

My take is business as usual for Tesla. Move now, move fast, keep moving, come with us - kicking and screaming if you must, but come - (or risk being left behind), this is your heads-up. There have been a number of clear indications of late, such as Musk's very direct 'we're going to be spending huge amounts of money', that indicate Tesla is all in and full steam ahead. I feel this is setting up to be a repeat of the 'early' days when risk was through the roof and there were a lot more Tesla Nays than Tesla Yays. The stock had a lot of pressure on it back then, just as it has now with big chunks of uncertainty: Will GF be done in time? Will Model 3 be on time? Will Tesla need another round of capital infusion? If so, when and how much? And so on...

If I recall correctly, next ER is going to represent a different form of reporting in particular concerning leasing and its affect on the numbers. This isn't going to be met with open arms by a large contingency. Tesla has also gone super quiet by Tesla standards, and this always ramps up the uncertainty and speculation by those who inherently embrace 'it MUST be bad if nobody's talking', and puts pressure on the stock. What happens if they go even quieter? :scared:

Going out on a limb and making a bold prediction that a repeat of 2013's stock explosion is in the cards. Don't know when. Not sure which event will trigger it and that's of course assuming Tesla 'makes it', which I'm betting on (specifically referencing GF, stationary storage and Model 3).

Short term (to stay on topic) - lots of pressure, but I'd make sure to have Velcro on those shorts for a speedy derobing.

Tesla Pushes Japanese Suppliers as It Seeks Battery Partners
2015-03-27 15:49:10.206 GMT


By Craig Trudell and Masatsugu Horie
(Bloomberg) -- A Tesla Motors Inc. battery executive
courted partners in Japan for its so-called gigafactory,
praising local companies for top-notch quality and technology
while cautioning against slow decision-making and risk aversion.
Japan ranks behind only North America as a source of parts
for the maker of the Model S electric sedan, Kurt Kelty, Tesla’s
director of battery technology, said Friday in Osaka. While he
said that Tesla looks to Japan for the world’s most advanced
technology, including electric components and displays, he also
alluded to weaknesses, without naming specific companies.
“We need to take risks, otherwise there will be no
prosperity in business,” Kelty said at an event hosted by the
Osaka Business and Investment Center. “We take risks, but it
seems not the case in Japan.”
Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk wants to transform Tesla
into more of a mass-market automaker by building a battery-cell
factory big enough to supply 500,000 vehicles by 2020. The Palo
Alto, California-based company is counting on close proximity of
suppliers and economies of scale to reduce battery costs by 30
percent and let Tesla sell a $35,000 electric Model 3.
Tesla has so far joined with larger, established Japanese
companies, such as Panasonic Corp. and Denso Corp., Kelty said.
The automaker is open to relationships with small and medium-
size suppliers with good technology, he said.
Kelty said Japanese suppliers Tesla has worked with have
shown strength in meeting commitments for parts delivery. At the
same time, he said that moving too slowly has been a weakness
among such companies.

Another Test

“Decision-making often takes time,” Kelty said. “For
example, when the product is almost ready, they may want to do
the test again.”
Panasonic, Tesla’s battery-cell supplier, this week
forecast a 23 percent increase in profit in the fiscal year that
begins next month as the Osaka-based electronics maker expands
its automotive business.
The company has declined to confirm how much it will invest
in Tesla’s gigafactory. Musk has estimated that Panasonic’s
contribution will be $1.5 billion to $2 billion.
Kelty said Tesla once asked for a production increase from
a Japanese supplier, which resisted and suggested the automaker
slow its expansion plan. He didn’t identify the supplier.
“We’re a growing company, and therefore we need to put
pressure on the suppliers, so the suppliers need to grow as
well,” he said.
Chieko Gyobu, a Panasonic spokeswoman based in Tokyo,
wouldn’t comment on Kelty’s remarks when reached by phone.
Hironori Yoshida, a spokesman for Kariya, Japan-based Denso,
also declined to comment.
Kelty worked more than 14 years for Panasonic before
joining Tesla in March 2006. He is the lead negotiator with
Panasonic to determine their partnership at the gigafactory,
according to his LinkedIn profile.
