Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

[Chickenlittle]

IMO they should move reveal to 3/30 to give people one day to think about reserving or not.

They have 2 years to think about it before the car is produced. It will be huge with stories of the reveal and pictures of long lines at tesla stores on the news (if it as big as I think it will be)

Half a million shares in first few minutes.. quite a bit.

I'd like to see the media pick up that Elon excercised another huge block of stock options. 660k shares dated 2/8

I'd prefer they not. I want his share acquiring in both Tesla and Solar City to be overlooked.

I guess we'll see. But have to say at the 80K price point for 3, I'd rather get the S unless somehow they can figure out the traction limiting factor. If this M3 has a faster 0-60 time than the S, then that would be a compelling choice for the performance-type driver.

HIGHLY doubt a loaded 3 will exceed 65k in price.

It possibly can. An m3/4 can go up to 80-90k

Yes, I think it will be a major moment in the history of EV. Smart move on Tesla's part.

No signature edition for Model 3 and reservations begin Mar 31 in stores and April 1 online. $1,000 to reserve a Model 3.
Story here
We ought to have a prediction contest for the first week. The numbers are going to be ludicrous.

Consider what those reservation numbers will do to the stock price.

Oh, my goodness! That is quite a bit less than I was leaning towards for a reservation cost. Will now have to seriously revise my estimation of reservations that was already quite high. And I LOFF that he did it in a tweet a few hours after the ER. I happily predict that the Tesla reservation site will break within minutes of opening up to the public.

Maybe not faster than the top of the line P90DL, but I would expect it to at least match the 0-60 times of the BMW M3 (currently the best at performance in the entry luxury), and possibly beat it.

It's like waiting in line for a console release or the latest iPhone, haha! Camp outside the store 1 week in advance.

I used to think this too, until Elon's tweets. Allowing people to go to one of the hundreds of stores around the world in order to place a reservation will take a lot of "early adopter heat" off the web servers.

Also, it is possible that placing a reservation for a car is not viewed the same way as buying a car, and perhaps reservations will be possible showrooms in Texas, Michigan and so on. Either way, the hypothetical showrooms missing from "banned states" account for a very small number of Tesla's worldwide retail outlet count.

As for TSLA - nice bump up so far today. It was still a revenues miss, so it was good that guidance is so impressive

Just like Bernie and trump have rattled the political establishment , so will tesla disrupt.
The model 3 could well do an Apple iPhone around the block thing.
The times are changing.

People need time to think about reserving or not? AHAHAHAHAHAHAH! That's hilarious.

I think that is what every companies CEO is happy to see - people waiting in line for his product!
Elon would be happy for that and also - the CULT product will be born. (it already is in a kind)

Don't forget to fly to Australia. Stores will open there first on March 31st!

For me it is simple:

OK so I read through the transcript of yesterday's CC. Not bad. I guess I was so distracted by chatting with my wife, two different groups of friends, view/posting on TMC and another forum while listening to CC. Still not optimistic about TE generating meaningful net profit this year. But for everything else, quite good. And on my previous comment on EM's "vagueness" of $100/kWh, I totally take that back. Appears I missed a lot of context yesterday.

 

[allz]

What happens on 31st - for example, in Stockholm Tesla Store - the M3 reveal is later (most probably will be) and for the time zone sake - what time it will be for me to be in store? 10 or 11 PM? Stores will be open?

 

[Gerardf]

High volume. Hope it will trigger shorts to cover and that we can take a nice step towards 200 as a base for March 31st.

I'm pretty sure you're going to have lots of company.
