Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

[RobStark]

Good point. (Just to have fun and open a can of worms) I wonder what will happen to demand and production of new vehicles when(and if) Tesla establishes its robotaxi network on a large scale? At that point maybe we will stop thinking of the automotive side of Tesla's business in terms of vehicle units and more as number of miles traveled by said fleet.

When Tesla achieves full Robotaxi( not in the next 3 years IMO) RT will take as many "public transport miles" as it does "private automobile miles."

That is not what Green Utopians want to hear but that is reality.

Again the demand for private autos in developing nations( if for no other reason status) will outdo the drop in developed nations.

There are a billion Indians and a billion Africans that very much want to join the global middle class and part of that is owning your own car. Then there is the "other billion" in Southeast Asia/Latin America.

Saw this excellent Mad Money excerpt today where TSLA's stock price over the last few days was discussed:

I wish posters would make good use of TMC's NKLAQ thread. Probably many are interested and posts wouldn't take away from the investor thread.

Someone posted that the name is undignified. If needed maybe the name of the thread could be changed.

I do not care what they say on the call, shorted right before close, took my nearly $4/sh and ran to the bank with it. First day trade in months.

I was trying to short it also...but had the Hard to borrow message with no shares available.

I don't know what to make of it. I can't find a solar product on their website.

Didn't know that we have a NKLAQ thread here in TMC. Is there a Thread for NIO stock?

At least they saved 2 ft of battery charging cable inside by lowering the charge port down to knee level.
Aren't Cadi's for old people, or was that just Buick?
Maybe they'll hit on the EV Hummer... I was more a GM person. Especially over that windshield wiper delay circuit that Ford ripped off (Movie: Flash of Genius), and then Ford vs Ferrari just kinda amplified the evil in them. No love loss there.

Yeah that fender sliding open is a good idea/S

There isn't a thread for NIO stock here, but there is one over in the "other EVs" section: NIO stock thread. There is a general thread for financial discussion of competitors: Tesla BEV Competition Developments and there are multiple threads about NIO cars over in Electric Vehicles.

NKLAQ has been renamed (thanks whoever suggested it): All discussion of Nikola Motors.

Still waiting for high 13's myself, otherwise... I'm bored.

« Last November, Milton paid $32.5 million for a 2,670-acre luxury ranch in Utah, which set a new price record for the state. The property has a 16,800-square-foot riverfront mansion with eight bedrooms, 8.5 baths, a lofted billiards room, movie theater, wine cellar and gym. »

Meet the newest multibillionaire: Nikola's founder is now worth $4.6 billion after IPO

8.5 baths? They didn’t have enough money to buy the 9th bath?

to those opposed to split because of fear of ineligibility of fractional trading. found this from a recent IB advertisement and the FAQs for frac trading


Fractional Trading | Interactive Brokers LLC


Who is eligible for fractional share permissions?
Individual accounts (both standalone accounts and clients of Financial Advisors) and organizational accounts including Lite customers are eligible for fractional share permissions with the exception of the following:

• Clients with residency in Israel
• Clients of Interactive Brokers Luxembourg SARL
• Canadian RRSP/TFSA accounts

——
i remember a european member saying they weren’t eligible for frac shares but i don’t remember if was broker related or country restrictions. hopefully this helps

LITE customers = IB’s commission free accounts in addition to Pro accts

Maybe there should be a thread created about this. Since being furloughed 4 months ago, boredom is killing me. Obviously COVID restrictions exacerbate the problem.

Not knowing what I'm going to do each and every day 6 days/week has thrown me off my game. I need daily structure and have not (yet) been able to create enough new routines.

Not complaining.The lack of pressure is awesome. My net worth has boomed this year because of TSLA so I'm in very good financial shape. But my mind needs challenges. Can someone here help direct me to the mindset of "where did I ever find the time to go to work 8 hours per day, 5 days per week!?"

You need more hobbies. I need to retire so I can do all of them. As it is, I'm a competitive cyclist and need at least 5 days a week on the bike, with 3 of the days being at least 3 hours on the bike. On my "days off," I ride first thing in the morning, and then quickly get to the airport to fly my glider. Right now I'm limited to three days of flying a week. I usually fly 4+ hours/flight, and would love another day to improve further so that maybe I can compete some day on the national or international stage (on Saturday I flew 504km at an average speed of 129km/hr). I haven't had time to play golf in years. I don't have time to travel. I like to tinker and do projects, but I don't have time for that stuff either. The only hesitation I have retiring at 50 right now, is that I went to school for ever to become a surgeon, and I feel like I'm letting everyone down if I retire at my peak, even though I no longer enjoy going to work....
