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

[Pezpunk]

Scary how quickly a Roadster II has become a purchase option to many here who might be tempted! Lucky for me I don't have another bay for it in my garage. Oh, wait. If I pass on the cold thruster package that would cover adding a fourth bay.

i went with a Plaid Model S instead. i'm a family man. i need a sober, practical car that does 0-60 in under 2 seconds.

THis post seems to explain and provide a wealth of sensical information concerning all this mess.
IF this is all true, and even mostly true then a different buying pattern will occur.
Rob? are you there? Knightshade seems to have refuted your sources. While you have been the most believable youtube source, Knightshades understanding makes much more financial sense concerning the rules around buying a stock being admitted to any Index, yes?

While I haven't watched all of Rob's videos (not enough time in a day), I did watch a couple of his vids dealing directly with inclusion and I don't see anything in Knightshade's post that conflicts with Rob's understanding. It would be helpful if you pointed out the specific contradiction you see.

I like the direction of your thinking and I would suggest Diess is more adept at being flexible and doing something new than many here are giving him credit for. The fact that he "gets it" even though he is an ICE insider shows that he has what it takes to be a huge asset to Tesla. He would probably take a huge pay cut being forward thinking enough to trust the stock options would MORE than make up for it.

I definitely don’t see him as a CEO replacement. For starters he’s older. But I do agree he could add value to Tesla particularly with dealings in his own country, as long as he doesn’t get stuck in a ‘this is how we do do it in Germany’ mentality. The German auto industry and related entities ARE going to change. They can come quietly or kicking and screaming. Their choice.

A convenient website to track all of ARKK's move is here. The values are not 100% real time, and takes a few minutes/hours to update but still very useful. ARKK ETF Trades

My plan is to keep the P3D- for time being and eventually swap to a Roadster/Cybertruck combo if space is needed.

Lets get it!


Long and strong.

I'm not allowed out of chill mode with family in on a M3LR. Otherwise ANOTHER clean up will be required.

Diess's promotion of EVs has been a direct affront to "this is how we do it in Germany". That's probably why he is on the chopping block.

He has also never struck me as a man with a large ego. If you watch his interactions with Elon, he's always played the #2 position and sang Elon's praises.


EDIT - most CEO's have a non-compete clause in their contracts for when they move on. 2-3 years is pretty standard. I would doubt Diess could go work for Tesla even if he wanted to.

Time to turn on the lights...

The Dark Money Secretly Bankrolling Activist Short-Sellers — and the Insiders Trying to Expose It

Well that’s interesting as all get out, particularly where SA is mentioned as an outlet for the short seller activists.

I’ve always known people were capable of such shenanigans especially when money is involved. Hiding behind ‘but I’m doing it for the good of us all’ is epic BS and merely an excuse to trick **** their hearts and minds to allow them to sleep at night.

Tesla Solar/Storage for 2-3 years? Agree he's best in an EU/German politician liaison role.

 

[bkp_duke]

TSLA up 5%

NKLA down 15%

Finally, a little sense in this world.

 

[Artful Dodger]

Diess is 62 years old, so he isnt a spring chicken and certainly not Elons successor in 5+ years. That's clearly a role earmarked for Jerome Drew.

FTFY.

Cheers!

Non competes don't usually apply if you are fired without cause

Isn't this at least as significant for track mode for all Tesla vehicles? Or can't the air suspension react quickly enough?

Currently there are no Teslas with air suspension and track mode.

I'd expect Plaid to be the first to offer that- though I suppose if there's a legit S/X refresh coming soon per rumors that might offer it.

Would be nice if they add the ability to "save" a track once it's "mapped" by the system too.

We are led to believe every non-Tesla EV manufacturer is somehow limited by battery supply.
That they would love to build more EVs but they can't get more batteries.

What is so special with Tesla that LG agreed to double their production capacity just for Tesla?

Here's one possible answer to that-
Is Tesla Licensing The 4680 Cells To LG Energy Solution?[/QUOTE]

Tesla Should Launch a Human Driven Ride-Hail Service to Accelerate Its Autonomous Strategy

Interesting. It appears Tasha is focused on cities or urban transport for her vision of human driven ride hailing which appears to make sense at first glance. But I would suggest it might make sense to launch the pilot program as a rural transportation service which would leverage the cost/mille advantages of EV's and tap an underserved market.

Bollinger Bands - Wikipedia

"Bollinger Bands display a graphical band (the envelope maximum and minimum of moving averages, and volatility (expressed by the width of the envelope)"​

Just a tool, but my experience is that it's the way that 'bots view the Market (programmed).

Cheers!

I love that they call it "Magic Carpet"!

Well, I think this needs to be changed, that's very misleading for consumers who would obviously be expecting an actual flying car based on such a naming convention...

I agree that he could be a big asset to Tesla but I don't even know where the idea came from that he might be a CEO replacement. Not gonna happen.

This is not going to plan so far.

Same place as Jerome or Drew as CEO - the dark space of someone’s mind. Tesla will obviously be taken over by one or more of Elon’s sons.
