Good thing it's nothing important. I saw the sudden collapse of futures and went looking for news of floods, fires, and war. But this is pretty much irrelevant. Market should be fine tomorrow.

We don’t know the extent of spread within the White House yet. While I agree that Trump simply getting COVID doesn’t warrant a sell off, I don’t think the markets shrug this off so easily tomorrow.
To expand on this, we don’t even know if he was contagious when he debated Biden.

Great, just when we were expecting a great P&D report tomorrow
Maybe TSLA should just hold off releasing the numbers till Monday. Why release them tomorrow when the entire news cycle will be dominated by Trump and his positive test. I will lose out on my speculative options for tomorrow, but i would rather wait for next week after the craziness over the weekend dies down.

Agree with this. Just the possibility of either Trump or Biden being sidelined is destabilising not just for US politics but also for US China relations. The market will be factoring in the higher likelihood of a black swan event.
I will leave the Trump corona posts that have impact on the market and TSLA for now. But the first joke was already deleted. Do not turn this into a political slugfest!
Was out boozing last night, 10 pages behind, apologies if already posted. Let's hope the news that the US's glorious leader testing +ve for C19 does rain on our parade...

Yeah but he also proved all you need is confidence to be the president so whatever. This country practically runs itself. Plenty of people from both sides can do the job. Not like Trump is Elon who is actually chief engineer of SpaceX

Because of this he will have the best medical team at the ready. For that reason I can't see a high likelihood of a poor outcome with regards to his health. Probably a big nothingburger...

I still expect Q3 deliveries to be announced pre-market in a few hours. If the market is disappointed, it could be brutal.
EDIT: For the next 5 weeks, this could actually calm markets down if it precludes Trump from doing something desperate as we approach the finish line. The next 2 debates probably won't happen, which is a good thing and there should be less vitriol and anger on the campaign trail because of less campaigning.

I doubt very much whether Tesla will release numbers with any consideration for the news cycle. Tesla doesn't particularly care whether people pay any attention to these numbers. In fact, I suspect they would rather they came out with no fanfare whatsoever.Great, just when we were expecting a great P&D report tomorrow

But if you let Tesla IR know what you "would rather", I'm sure they'll take that into due consideration.
Tesla had an end of quarter surge in The Netherlands. On the last day another 100 cars were delivered.
Top 3 of September:
model 3 978
Niro 740
ID3 610.
Total EVs 6071 , so Model 3 16.1% and it ranked no 2 of all person vehicles at 3.4%.EVs were 21% of Total person vehicles. Not bad. For me, Model Too can’t come soon enough, though.

Since Trump doesn't hold the secret for turning low grade lithium clay to high grade lithium for battery production, him getting the virus has about zero material impact on the company.

If the numbers are disappointing, Tesla will wait for the weekend. Of course, they might not be ready, or Tesla might wait for some other reason. But I'm fairly sure if the numbers are bad, we won't see them on Friday morning.
Of course it is possible that Tesla will announce great numbers and the market will still be disappointed. Not likely though.
Yup. News that has nothing to do with production line? DISCOUNT time. Check your couch cushions. Break your kids piggy bank.
This is a I'm selling before someone else sell kind of news. Biden is up 7 points in the polls with even more voter conviction after the debate. Biden winning is already baked in so I suspect the minute qqq hits support it'll bounce back from dip buyers.

Obviously, but that isn't the point.
To some degree, the market is affected. For those who are long TSLA, this doesn't even register. For traders, depends on what side they are on.
This could make conservatives and Republicans even more angry with China. That may affect U.S. policy which could materially affect Tesla.
Worst cases scenario a lot of people in government and Biden get it, serious illness and deaths. Markets will tank but Tesla will still be sound and eventually the stock will recover, especially if a more competent leadership takes over.
