Temporary Thread for Itchy-fingered Investors

Where do they get this quoted prediction from?

“When Tesla showed its Model 3 in 2016, leading to a rush of deposits from potential buyers, Mr Musk predicted sales would hit as many as 1m vehicles in 2020. Though reaching just half that, the actual figure - an increase of 36 per cent from the year before - still showed that Tesla was scaling up its global operations more quickly than some had expected.”

Tesla beats expectations with record number of vehicle deliveries

This post is not worth moving. Am I the only one who feels the new title is pretty ominous? “Perpetual” makes me feel like Sisyphus.

It's just like me trying to clean up after my tasmanian toddler.

I've always been a leader, never a follower, so I have no idea how one kickstarts a "Following" into a "subscribes to all the Leader's posts".

This was the Moderators' collective best idea for how to ensure that all participants see Moderator Notes & Warnings. We're working on it but if any have constructive suggestions you may post them here.

Maybe it’s not a perfect solution but what if Mods use “disagree” as a warning mechanism? I’d wager few of the type A types here don’t immediately notice when they get a disagree. When you see it’s from a Mod you can assume it’s a warning.

Anyone comment on how foreign exchange will affect the quarter? I believe Tesla does not hedge against these fluctuations. USD has weakened vs. the Euro.

Futures begin in 5 mins. Hopefully we also get released from this thread.

Mods, will be good we promise.

The super mods have fooled our regular mods to think they have powers they don't.

It's difficult being a mod to a bunch of cocky millionaires!

Why not just post your message every day for a week at various times? No need to turn the thread off and in fact more people will probably see it since many members don't even check in on the weekend.

Is it not possible to sticky or anchor posts at the top of each page?

Suggestion. Make it so moderators cannot be ignored or blocked.

Every Internet forum I've ever been on is like this. I don't understand how somehow this forum isn't.

Why not just....directly warn the people who need warning via PM?

And why has the main thread needed to be locked for 3 days? That makes literally no sense.

I don't think I've blocked as many as five people all the time I've been here.

15 hours prior to open, futures are flat as a pancake.

That means a lot.

 

[Singuy]

Thank you!

I posted a few more lovely pictures here in the Hawaii forum. I think they all came out wonderfully! Helps with the background, haha.

@Singuy possibly. Or the Post SP500 drop will combine with the good news bad luck form into a super correction. With Tesla, it legitimately could go that way.

Lol I dont think we need many reasons for Tsla to drop.

There was an ER call about this from 2018. Some analyst asked him to speculate and he said a million in 2020, but then said half a million to a million in 2020.

Yeah, it's a bit of bummer for the people who follow the rules and read all the posts.

Oh! That is not a rule, you take that back!

Yup, champagnes of 2020 gains is still running through everybody’s brains.

 

[RationalOptimist]

Personal suggestion. Give the mods a break. Really hard to fairly moderate a forum such as this when the stakes are high and there's always a trade-off between 'everything goes' and 'keep things clean and focused'. Personally, grateful this forum exists and persists. They must be doing something right. Here's wishing every one a wise and happy 2021.

 

[Paul_SF]

I would like to suggest a 36h lockdown of the perpetual thread every weekend!

please vote with “love” if in favor and “funny”if against.














just jk, of course nobody here will support that! Hahahahahah. Addictions are hard!

And in other news... anyone follow this Twitter?

Seems they predicted the stock gain of 2020 in 2019 and now predicts:

1. Spring 2021 epic squeeze to no available float
2. 2021 Year end $5000 SP

I'm skeptical, as no one can predict the future, but wondering what others think.

I could imagine another stock split, 5:1 if the stock goes above $1k and then hitting $1k again by end of year...

If say
Another 3 factories are announced throughout the year
The supposed M2 is announced formally
Shanghai has a run rate of 250k/yr as of earnings
And Tesla guides for 800 to 1M cars
at the year end earnings.

So I put all you guys on my follow list. Let the notifications begin!

GEE, I first noticed I was being followed and I felt important.
Even looked at booking a ticket to Europe.
This is such a let down.
