Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2015

[hockeythug]

Thanks!. Seems pretty much in-line with what people have been expecting for the Model X. Does anyone see any positive or negative surprises here?

People that haven’t been following the Mule thread might find the spoiler a surprise.

The GPS air suspension seems like a new thing or is that my lack of knowledge?
in any event seems like a good idea

Has been available on the Model S.

that's a current capability on any Model S with air suspension

At this point, Tesla is doing worse than the market, I expected the other way around.



I disagree that there is nothing substantial there. We now know that the price is exactly like a model S which is huge. Also, it's the very first Model X deadline that they actually kept. That should be huge too. Maybe the market would have liked it better if an actual Model X production car was available in a Bay area store for viewing.

TSLA is more volatile than the NASDAQ or S&P 500, so it amplifies market moves. As I type, TSLA is down 2.8%, while NASDAQ is down 2.1. If anything, I'd say this means TSLA is winning, since it's often up twice as much on a no-news day with rising markets.

On a good day, I would guess that it would cause TSLA share price to climb a bit. But today's stock market condition will just cause TSLA to tank. The online configuration isn't going to hold up TSLA or make it spike. It's depressing to those who were thinking the online configuration news would be "huge" for TSLA. Well, sorry folks for the disappointment. We're going to be in a rough one again due to over seas market taking control. I see TSLA trading sideways in the near term or down hill if over seas market keeps up with their disappointing news.

Not new, been on the Model S for a long time now. If you raise the suspension at a particular driveway or intersection or wherever, unless you select otherwise, it will always try to raise the suspension near that point. There's a nasty driveway near a take-out restaurant that we use, but if I'm just driving past I often get a warning about it being too fast to raise the suspension. That's pesky, but better than graunching the front of the car.

Also oil is down hard today. All considered, it's holding up better than i thought it would. I turned some of my puts into spreads by selling puts against them.

Tesla has said in the past that the configuration process for the Model X would start in July, as well as more recently “before the end of August.”

The Tesla Model X Does 0 To 60 MPH In 3.2 Seconds, Costs Over $100,000

The news comes to us from InsideEVs.com, and was obtained when Tesla invited early “Signature” reservation holders to start configuring their cars. A lot of the information hadn’t been released yet, so we’re hearing much of this for the very first time. And though Tesla hasn’t sent out an official confirmation of the info themselves, they did confirm to us that all of it was spot-on.

Does anyone have a good idea ( probably based the MS DS), why they are limiting the DS access to the first 100-250 signature reservation holders? Is it a DS related issue, or does it imply a slow production ramp?

Probably not stock-price-shifting news, but the Roadster 3.0 upgrade letter also just went out. I've placed our $5k deposit on the $29k upgrade. There's a sticky thread over in the Roadster section if people want more details.

It looks like Elon is getting a little more serious about deadlines, although he missed this one by a day.

 

[TE5LA]

Any bets on a tweet from Elon in the next 24 hours for MX launch event?
Has to be imminent if deliveries are to happen this month. Especial now as the signature release out there and public..

Anyone else noticing how slammed TMC forum is right now? Running very slowly for me. Seems we've reached critical mass on interest in this stuff.

Definitely noticed it, to the point of not being able to reach TMC for a while.

 

[EldestOyster]

I went and checked other sites, because my whole Internet connection used to act like that. Happy to hear it's just TMC. And for good reason

The long delay implies they are ready for a fast production ramp. The restriction to 100-250 implies they will be limited only by their confidence in the finished product.

People over there are unaware that the people configuring now are Signature holders and the cars come fully loaded with an added Sig tax. Base will under the $100k.

Yea it's probably the 600+ people hitting refresh continuously over at the MX Design Studio discussion

Model X Configuration has begun! - Page 39
TL;DR -> acrobatic seats

OK, well, I've taken today's opportunity to place some fairly heavy wagers on the next 10 days' action.

Anyone else join me?


Elon, bring the heat!!!!!! Colbert, do your magic!!!!!
