I didn't phrase this right.
As a battle scarred TSLA bull that has made and lost a lot of money on TSLA, I'm feeling sympathy for those new TSLA bulls that got caught up late in the recent TSLA updraft and then the very recent downdraft. I wish them well and hope that they don't get discouraged too much. The shorter your time horizon, the greater the risk. The stock price will be higher... it could be even later today, tomorrow, next month, or next year.
Let's hope Elon takes to Twitter and confirms some stuff...
Also, for the record, autopilot convinence features were NEVER supposed to be on the base - Elon confirmed that during the event (albeit not in so many words) and the people doing the test drives also confirmed right after the reveal.

What are you referring to... is there some new update on Supercharging the Model 3? Or are you simply discussing the fact that it's going to be an option on the car? (Which ought not to be news... it was an option on the base Model S for a long time.) Clue us all in, thanks...
I don't know of anything else except the CNBC hatchet job that caused the stock to fall seven bucks in short order (right at the time that CNBC thing was playing)... it appears to have found stability around $251 though.
Look at the image the poster added that compared the old M3 phrasing to the current. Also, please re-watch the unveil; language and phrasing suggested it would have supercharging at the base. Was also the general consensus (until now). + check out that link on Electrek.co (loops back to the aforementioned image)

He sure does...
I think there's a good chance that they are just rephrasing the Model 3's Super Charging capabilities. If you look at the other specs, they are specifically for the base model with no upgrades (specifically 215 miles and 0-60 < 6 seconds). I would not jump to the conclusion that Tesla is already backing off such an enormous promise of free supercharging capabilities they made only 8 days ago.
I have been writing for a while that I think an S refresh is near certain after the 3 launch. They need the S to sell well for 2 more years at least, even with the X helping they cannot afford to have the S seem dated. It has had 4 years of production (nearly) without any touch ups. Next to the X and 3 the S now looks dated and played out, and there have always been opportunities to do better (nose cone).
I have a 3 year old S, and if they announced a face-lifted, console-having, map pocket having, P100 I would probably trade up.
Edit: Also, I bailed on my leaps yesterday on the prevailing feeling that we were overdue for something downward. If I really thought there were going to announce a refresh, I may want to get back in... I think that we be received well.
More to this

I think this thing tests 245 before going higher. If it breaks that we will look to test 20 day EMA which should be in the 235-240 range. Will look to buy some weekly calls once we hit either threshold.
A "new low"? Bah! I don't think so...Also, new lowdown to the high 240s
Trading newbie, and lurker on this forum for the last couple of weeks. Just started investing in TSLA stock. Tesla Model S owner since May 2014.
One thing that keeps playing over in my mind is Elon's reply on the shorting question on twitter. He gets thousands of questions and he chooses to reply to a select few. What's his motivation for answering this question? Do they need to get the stock up hight to add cash at a good deal, or is he just sticking it to the shorters? If they need the stock to be up, will we continue to get smal drops of good news, or isn't that necessary because the finance situation solve itself fairly quick?
