Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

[MP3Mike]

Something happening with SP?

Massive buying is moving things up again.

What massive buying? (I certainly don't see massive buying, there was much more at open than there is now.)

And what about the 5.6 million job openings in the U.S. for skilled and semi-skilled labor? Seems like displaced coal miners and assembly line workers could seek out retraining programs and then fill some of those positions.

Exactly what I am talking about

We expect a better understanding of Tesla’s short-term plans for production at the Gigafactory to come out of the event. The company says that it aims for 50 GWh of production in 2018, but plans for 2017 are not as clear.

If they stay true to the timeline, we should see some revenues starting from Q1 itself and hopefully it's ramped enough by Q2 to start delivering a positive cash flow.

Hopefully by Q1 ER they can start delivering a positive cash flow! They've had the TE automated assembly line set up for full months. The bottleneck has been lack of cells. If they can produce cells in quantity they should be able to do an almost instantaneous TE ramp.

Some may have been following the list of all available inventory P100D/P90D MS cars that a forum user here on TMC generated by 'scraping' the Tesla websites. A list of all cars available on 12/2 and again morning of 12/28 are posted on the relevant thread. Of the 500 hundred cars listed 12/2, 70 were no longer present on the 12/28 list but were replaced with 62 other cars (different VINS). If those 70 cars were indeed sold, that would have been just shy of 10million dollars worth of inventory P100D/P90D sold during those 3.5 weeks (not including 12/25).

Is it so much to ask that your clickbait article title (derived from one line in the article and completely opposite to the rest of the article) at least have some real data behind the assertion?

Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA): Tesla Motors Model 3 Shipments Likely to Fall Short in 2017, Says KGI

"the company’s aggressive 2H17 production target of 100,000 Model 3 units"

Is that real? I was not aware of any Model 3 targets for 2017 yet.

Elon said he guessed that they would produce 100-200k in 2017.

It completely confuses me how Nvidia is now in the green and TSLA is still down where it was this morning.

Unrelated and not correlated imho. Tesla is a frustrating *****.

Even more in the green is Mobileye, more than 9% up:

Speigal is predicting 18500 deliveries in Q4 with terrible margins. Maybe algorithms are listening. Someone labeled ISO 14000 predicts 17000. Looking forward to clearing up Q4 speculation next week.

For deliveries to be that bad, based on VIN tracking, that would suggest that TSLA produced some 8,000 or so cars they couldn't sell this quarter. Seems... unlikely at best.

Electrek coverage of Jan4 GF event: Tesla CEO Elon Musk to participate in Q&A at a Gigafactory event for investors next week

Sounds like we get remarks and Q&A with Elon + JB, plus factory tours.

Sure sounds to me like there is cell production and PowerWall2's ready-to-install to show off. If you're in TSLA management shoes, would you invite investors to see the inside of your potemkin village factory if you didn't?

I think its really a case of TSLA wanting to show off that they can in fact execute something on exactly the advertised schedule.

I really wish the headline for this was "...event for some investors next week" since it isn't for all investors. Right? Not all, right? Cuz I sure as hell am an investor for over four years and didn't get an invite.

Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA) Shares Sold by Henderson Group PLC

OMG a fund holding $500k+ in TSLA sold 18 shares! So significant!

I sold more than that, for crying out loud.

Some quick math:

- Phase 1 is 1/7 of the final size
- Phases 1&2 are 40% of the final size and will produce 50 gWh in 2018

That implies that Phase 1 could produce around 18 gWh in 2017.

Expect a war into the close over the SMA(200) at 214.59

What massive buying? (I certainly don't see massive buying, there was much more at open than there is now.)

Meh... I spoke too soon.

Watch it! Before you look, you end up in the news, too... If a certain Mark B.S. (like how the cow manure he usually writes shows up even in his initials) get's to know this - boy will there be a tweet-storm ;-)

Expect a war into the close over the SMA(200) at 214.59

I'm convinced the large funds that hold Tesla don't care about technicals. WTF did the let this happen after a day like yesterday?

 

[ongba]

Lol, closes right on the 5 and 200 day SMA...it will prob open weak tomorrow in an attempt to break down below these key technical levels.
