Down $8.86 in aftermarket?
Imagine if an institution slowly sold 100,000 shares throughout a day with volume of 5 million shares. That's only about 2% of the total selling and if it was spread out it probably would have a slight negative but not a big negative influence upon the day's trading. Now consider if that same seller parted with those 100,000 shares in the first minute of market open. The results would be much different because the market would be somewhat shocked by the steep selloff at open. The psychology of the trading that day would have been changed. So, volume of selling within a one minute period is a factor. Then, consider if the selling is done in the first hour of trading, when volume is heavy or in the late afternoon, when volume is especially light. Selling as few as 2,000 shares in late afternoon is likely to depress the stock price, but that volume is insufficient to have much influence during high volume times of the day. So, time of day affects the volume being traded, which influences how much of an effect the selling will have. Consider, too, when short-selling, teamed up with FUD, causes stop-losses placed by longs to be trigged as the stock price descends. These triggers are often set for whole numbers, and so the shorts push to spring a stop-loss. The resulting flurry of selling is a perfect time for a short to cover for the day without seeing too much of a change in stock price.
Types of Battery Cells; Cylindrical Cell, Button Cell, Pouch CellYes please.
I may be horrible at searching but I haven't found a decent description of prismatic cells beyond containing them in a pouch...
I found "Lithium-ion Cylindrical Cells Vs. Prismatic Cells" thought provoking. For large applications, pouch cells are often used, my understanding is that they are usually folded layers somewhat like prismatic. Cooling is cited as an argument against prismatic.

One interesting thought experiment though: We usually think a low stock price is marginally bad for TM since it raises the cost of capital. BUT and advantage of a lower-stable stock price is that it probably inhibits the startup scene. We ARE seeing some me-too auto startups which may amount to something. But if TSLA was at 450 there would be 10x the startups.
Thanks short sellers!
My buy order didn't trigger. It's actually never triggers during those huge AH drops.
Lots of disadvantages to a depressed stock price but another advantage is (perhaps counterintuitively) for recruiting.
Options are the life-blood of Silicon Valley. If you are an ambitious young engineer or executive who has the choice to work at Google, Apple or Tesla, the greater potential upside for Tesla options could be a factor in where you choose to work (in addition to many other things including the job itself). That same upside potential could also minimize the temptation to jump ship to a start-up. Tesla is attracting the very best talent around, and this may be a small part of the equation.
I was worrying other way around. A flat stock price for nearly 3 years in a row must be pretty disheartening to existing employees. As I know Tesla expects grueling amounts of hard work from employees, especially on the corporate/development side. It would be good for these employees to see some rewards for the hardwork.
Pretty sure limit orders don't trigger after hours

I was puzzled by this initially as well, but after a closer look, forced cooling through the bottom makes more sense than through the wall. Cylindrical cell is a rolled sandwich with specific heat conductivity across sandwiched layers likely to be lower than through the bottom.
At some point they will either cause interest rates for TSLA borrowing to rise or they will start running low on funds to keep throwing at TSLA.
No -- if their funds are unlimited, at some point they will run out of shares to borrow and cause the rate paid to borrow TSLA to rise. It's happened three times before already! Some of us made nice little chunks of money off of it!Only assuming their funds are limited. Let's hide and watch.
Or entities doing this will need to shift their 'investment play money' back into their core (own) business d/t upcoming expected new deregulations...No -- if their funds are unlimited, at some point they will run out of shares to borrow and cause the rate paid to borrow TSLA to rise.
