Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

That is quite the bombshell to me. No door/windshield bottlenecks?

I paraphrased, but this is what was posted to thestreet.com's live blog "JB Straubel says most innovative features that caused problems in Q4 have been overcome today. Falcon wing doors, the filter." I thought I heard windshield was previously an issue. Elon mentioned chrome finish and hand fixing seals was a problem but is no longer. Also mention of bringing 2nd row seats in house.

That's my understanding too. But it's still cash on books

My understanding is that you can't use deposits to fund operations but you can use them to buy capital goods.

If Sh!* hits the fan, you can always sell hard assets to return deposits.

wow, interesting to hear Elon basically agreeing that the X is too feature rich and he has regrets.

The other thing I read into that statement was that he front-loaded all the features, and from a continued demand point of view, these could have been rolled out more slowly to keep up demand over time, while also easing the initial ramp complexity requirements.

I think they just abandoned the 400-500m sales in TE for this year.

I really appreciate the manufacturing operations and yield improvements language in this call! Jason is filling a critical expertise role in this regard!

God yes! being in manufacturing myself hearing it makes me so happy.

It's gonna be way more

I find it interesting that Elon didn't want to go into details about the means of ramping up the X because he didn't want to broadcast their production methods.

Yeah, I found their conservatism interesting there. It sounds like they don't have exact timeframe on when they plan on push TE. Elon seemed to point toward Q4, which makes sense considering their profitability forecasts.

 

[Fallenone]

No, by EM's language it translates to we don't know how much we're gonna sell, but 400-500m is not achievable. Basically they still don't know what is their starting point for their exponential growth and don't know when it will happen.

It's gonna be way more

Crushing it on the CC, but stock dropping a little - weird....

Tommorow's price action will be interesting to say the least

 

[Fallenone]

I don't think the CC is good. EM sounds very hesitated and uncertain.

and while Elon is talking, he just exercised stock options again, purchasing an additional 676,000 shares http://ir.teslamotors.com/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1494730-16-5&CIK=1318605

I suspect it hasn't been a good 24 hours after SCTY.

But JB + new CFO are a good counterbalance.

You need to check your ears man. He sounds relaxed and confident.

nah. That's Elon. He sounds fresh to me. Not bad
