Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

[MartinAustin]

•  Dramatic improvement in Model X reliability
  
  
•  Model 3 on plan for volume deliveries in second half of 2017

I love these bits. The media has been dancing on Tesla over the Consumer Reports Model X reliability commentary, but it ought to be obvious that the first few Model X were very problematic and took a lot of fixing, but the current ones have no issues. (not speaking from personal experience) Consumer Reports has been taking the average of all Model X going back to September 2015, so naturally will have a negatively-skewed reputation.

Model 3 volume deliveries in "second half" of 2017... this is a big improvement over "end of 2017" or Q4 2017"

Yes, weird kerning.

The PDF document was prepared in Microsoft Word and generated into PDF format. The "author" of the document is "RR Donnelly," of all things.

I'm going to say this the nicest way possible - F*** you Bob Lutz

Gotta admit I was scared to open up this thread on my screen when 4pm rolled around. Just opened it now. Glad I did!!

29.4 percent GAAP automotive gross margin.

WOW!!!

Isn't the Capex really low guys? Very happy though.

Document easier to read on Electrek: Tesla (TSLA) announces Q3 financial results beat expectations, first GAAP profit in 3 years – $22 million [shareholders letter]

Very interesting results. It will be very interesting to see what the analysts will have to say about this quarter.

Event on Friday should cause IV to skyrocket. Hoping Elon doesn't say too much about it on the conference call.

Favorite comment from the bozo on Marketwatch's live blog of the results:

"We have results, and it appears to be profits. That can’t be right, double checking."

 

[Tslynk67]

29.4 percent GAAP GM on vehicle sales.

WOW!!!

No, Elon must be lying, Bob Lutz said they lost money on every vehicle sold!

 

[MP3Mike]

29.4 percent GAAP GM on vehicle sales.

WOW!!!

Imagine what it would have been without all those major discounts at the end of the quarter!

Glad I added 25% to my position today at 201. Tomorrow should be fun assuming upgrades.

Was the bet on deliveries or production? Because the final delivery number is only 24,821.

It was deliveries, I still lost!

I downloaded the Q3 ER to my computer. May be it is easier for you to open this link.

Well, $3.1B should buy something for the grill

 

[hoang51]

So now the question is, how long is TSLA holding onto the gains. SCTY will release earnings tomorrow. SCTY is up 5% after hours today.

 

[FredTMC]

Yes, congrats to all the longs!

I'll be miffed if we don't see north of $220 tomorrow.

Gotta be some analyst upgrades coming... and some squeezing of the shorts
