Looks like lots of good news today. The NASDAQ is on a tear. Yet, no movement in TSLA. Not sure why we are stuck at $247.

Especially with the positive movement attempts yesterday in face of a down index, now today we have the reverse. The market, she is a smarmy mistress.

Here's my hope - Low volume consolidation before next rise to 260! Accumulation of good news not allowing any downward trend.

The only risks mentioned in todays note from Morgan Stanley's worth noting are the competitive, and regulatory risks created by Tesla entering into the grid storage business. It's obvious Elon wants Tesla and Solar City to become a distributed utility. of sorts Is it possible Tesla will eventually need to make certain structural changes to the way Tesla operates , such as having to make Tesla Energy an independent company?

I think I remember reading somewhere that utilities are required to contract with other parties for grid storage. Am I saying this correctly? Is this the case?

Morgan Stanley still has a bullish price target of $500.

"Texas deregulation broke up the old monopoly utilities into separate companies that perform different roles in the market. There are electricity producers who own power plants, retail electricity providers who sell electricity to end users, and transmission companies that are responsible for the transmission lines and moving power across the state."

Has anyone looked at how or if this would apply to Tesla?

MS has a PT of $280.

MS has a PT of $500, is that right?

No, their PT is $280, but there is also a bear case PT and bull case PT. the bull case PT is $500

Has anyone seen this yet? Interest in the search query "Tesla Motors" has skyrocketed this month according to google trends. Meanwhile, the search "Tesla Model S" is relatively flat.

Likely due to the Powerwall announcement, that really went viral.

If it has an impact on car sales, I don't know.

It is definitely due to the PowerWall. The video is the second most viral Tesla related video after the DragTimes's insane mode launches video, which has 5 million views (clean version has an additional 3.7 million views). The PowerWall reveal has only 2.3 million views.

Anyone know anything about this? Was Solar City or Tesla present at this? There are a few comments on Twitter, and something about Solar City being present, but I can't find an itinerary or information about this. Association for Demand Response and Smart Grid - Home

It's the PowerWall event. If you change the date period to just the past few months, you'll see that search interest is back to normal levels now.

Looks like it hasn' been posted here yet, but I saw this tweet from Phil LeBeau:

NEW: @Ford opening up all of its electric vehicle patents in a move to spur EV development among all automakers.

Does Ford have a BEV yet? I wonder how this could affect Tesla.
