Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

[vgrinshpun]

According to CNBC "Tesla quietly pushes back Model 3 delivery estimate to mid-2018 or later."

 

[techmaven]

New reservations in mid 2018.... not all of them... sheesh.

 

[MartinAustin]

CNBC will hopefully end up in trouble this time if they are publishing made up stuff and watching the stock fall

 

[Yggdrasill]

Okay, so the story should be: Tesla expects to deliver 350-500k Model 3 before mid-2018.

 

[SBenson]

Tesla website clearly says

Production begins late 2017
Delivery estimate for new reservations is mid 2018 or later

This is CNBC's version: Tesla is telling prospective buyers that new orders for its Model 3 will begin shipping in "mid-2018 or later." It is unclear whether or not the new delivery date affects orders already placed.

CNBC can't read? wtf?

 

[FredTMC]

New reservations in mid 2018.... not all of them... sheesh.

Oh what a piece of "sugar" report...

Tesla PR should refute it immediately.

 

[Drax7]

fabrication of misinformation with the purpose to manipulate stock

 

[gene]

Here we go back up again!

Tesla is telling prospective buyers that new orders for its Model 3 will begin shipping in "mid-2018 or later."

Very circumstantial. The ol' making news out of what one sales associate said to one customer?

It is unclear whether or not the new delivery date affects orders already placed.

Here's the current screenshot from my "My Tesla" dashboard, retrieved just now:

So, there's your answer CNBC. Orders already placed will not be affected. AT ALL. Sheesh, FUD and manipulation at its finest.

 

[CALGARYARSENAL]

CNBC is reporting that the Model 3 has been quietly delayed to mid-2018 deliveries.

They did not back up their claim yet

. What kind of BS hit piece is this?

 

[vgrinshpun]

New reservations in mid 2018.... not all of them... sheesh.

They got to be kidding!

 

[CALGARYARSENAL]

If this is the case it's because we are well over 500K reservations and on track for unprecedented sales.

You can register your displeasure @RobertoFerris on the Twitter.

I'm not prepared to assume over 500k reservations. Current reservations placed today being told to expect Mid 2018, means that *if* Tesla starts producing them in July 2017, like basically nobody expects them to actually do, AND they ramp to 500k/yr immediately, then you would expect mid 2018.

TSLA was trading above 198 when that CNBC misinformation came out. It'll be interesting to see how high we spring back. If we level at 197 or so, CNBC just picked some money from your wallet with that stunt.

 

[W84M3]

Really hope Elon's gonna piss all over CNBC

 

[Alketi]

My strategy: if I don't see any articles written about this, I'm going to hold off on going further all in until right before earnings because I expect to trade sideways or down until then. If I start to see articles, I'm buying calls ASAP. Obviously, everyone should only bet what they can afford, do own diligence, etc.

Curious, what calls would look at? Just out of the money, short/mid-term?

 

[Jayjs20]

Kinda sad I blinked and missed out on an amazing buying opportunity.

Let's ask the author, (twitter handle Robert Ferris (@RobertoFerris) | Twitter) for a clarification of this misleading article.
