That's one option.
Most i know let them execute and try to cover the next week.

Another option would be to cover in after hours today - or are they hoping that it will drop next week?

That's the idea. And maybe that will happen.

My sample size is small so who knows...

I'm hoping for a good drop so i can sell more puts at a decent premium. Made 1800 this week just on those.

Yeah, I made some ok money on put spreads. selling some more would'nt be bad! I already have some in place so don't need a drop for those at least.

Could go down, but I think not. The automobile quality and growth story is intact, and there is steady notice that energy storage is the sleeping giant for Tesla Motors.

Tsla 285 in Frankfurt today. Volume up yesterday but no where near a full blown short squeeze. I don't know how many were around for the short squeeze before but lasted days. I remember when time to sell some options it was like throwing meat in the middle of a shark tank. i suspect we may not see a full blown panic buying until the actual report. As long as the company is hated there will be new short selling as price increases

Okay, so I went sailing in the Bahamas for the past few weeks, and come back to TSLA at 280?? Man oh man, I'm going sailing every month from now on....

Additionally, Stifel and Credit Suisse reiterated their PTs of $400 and $325, respectively.

the average PT-to-price spread is getting smaller. Now we are at/around $9.15

Tesla Rises After Second-Quarter Deliveries Top Forecast (BBG)

Tesla Rises After Second-Quarter Deliveries Top Forecast (2)
2015-07-02 20:18:30.480 GMT

By Patrick Ralph
(Bloomberg) -- Tesla Motors Inc. gained the most since
April after the electric-car maker beat its car-sales forecast
for the second consecutive quarter with a 52 percent surge in
the three months through June.
The shares rose 4 percent to $280.02 at the close in New
York for the biggest daily advance since April 27. Tesla has
climbed 26 percent this year, outpacing the Russell 1000 Index’s
1.3 percent increase.
Tesla delivered 11,507 Model S sedans in the second
quarter, according to a statement of preliminary figures
Thursday. The Palo Alto, California-based company predicted in
May that it would sell 10,000 to 11,000 of the cars, its only
model, during the period.
The preliminary total brings first-half sales to 21,552,
less than 40 percent of Tesla’s full-year target of 55,000
vehicles. Output and deliveries are projected to increase with
the introduction of the Model X sport utility vehicle this
quarter.
“Tesla still has to deliver on the Model X promise,” Dan
Dolev, a Jefferies LLC analyst, said in a telephone interview.
With the Model S, “the execution is there, the demand is there,
the delivery is there, so that all these areas are positive is
encouraging.”
The company said that the second-quarter figure may be
adjusted slightly and that quarterly financial results are also
affected by cost of sales and other inputs.

‘Pretty Solid’

“What has kept enthusiasm on the stock down after Q1 was
that the guidance for Q2 did not show a lot of growth,” Dan
Galves, a Credit Suisse analyst, said in a telephone interview.
“It made the back half look real tough. Now that you’ve done 15
percent growth versus Q1 it’s pretty solid. The company only has
to do maybe 13 percent per quarter on the back half now.”
[...]
Tesla’s first-quarter sales jumped 56 percent from a year
earlier to 10,045 vehicles, exceeding the company’s forecast by
5.7 percent. The second-quarter total was a record for the
carmaker, which was founded in 2003 and began deliveries of the
Model S in 2012. Tesla is also developing large-scale energy-
storage systems for homes and businesses.

What the Bears forget to mention is that TSLA reaching ATH when oil looking to tank. This is incredible.

I think this chart looks awesome...

Sure does make 180 look like it was a no brainier time to buy. Pretty happy with what I bought but just wish I had bought more!

I doubled up down there, I'm not complaining, though we always wish we had done more looking back.

TSLA in Frankfurt inched up to 256.3 Euro ($ 284.5)

All time high in Euro (because of EUR.USD exchange rate). Average volume, which is 8.486 shares, Nothing really significant.

Thanks. It will be interesting to see how the U.S. Market reacts to that....and the vote in Greece on Sunday.

Haven't experienced a Short squeese yet, been waiting for it, now likely to happen! Lovin'it oh baby! Selling 20% of my shares @ 470. For business upkeep don't you know!

 

[oneday]

Added to my position Monday. And yesterday I sold 100% of my aapl shares and bought during the mid morning dip! Tsla is now 50% (and growing of my investment portfolio!

Still feel like my best play of the year was loading up at 193 back around March.

I think Tesla should do a 3:1 split at 300. Any thoughts on this?

Happy Independence day to all the American members

California overhauls electricity pricing, raising rates for many | The Sacramento Bee

Another big change is the implementation of “time of use” rates. That means customers will pay more during peak demand hours, such as late afternoons and early evenings. Picker said such a system will dovetail better with California’s increasing reliance on renewable energy sources, such as solar, which generally can’t produce as much electricity during those hours.The idea is to give customers incentives to “avoid using electricity from 3 p.m. to 9 o’clock,” Picker said. The “time of use” structure is similar to a system already in place at SMUD, said Picker, who was a SMUD board member from 2012 until last year.
