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

[StealthP3D]

So I have a source that says they reached their NA goals a week ago. I'll be interested to see if Fred's "source" is full of it or if my source is off. And no I'm not joking

It seems like Tesla leaks to Fred when they want to get something out there. So, this could just be another method of sandbagging. In other words, I like your sources info better.

Elon just tweeted about this "great interview" he gave earlier this month. I missed it.

There was a photo posted here last week I think, showing Elon in a Tesla showroom. Speculation was it could have been 500,000th car sold.

 

[AudubonB]

Lol, had this same thought yesterday. But Oct 29, 2029 is the Monday...

Cheers!

Before posting my thought was “better check day of week” but then decided the simple post was more elegant, at least until some knucklehead came in with his 4x4 swinging.

So how was the lumberyard?

 

[MXWing]

Damn you, you just cost me $525! But now I have an almost complete set of little Teslas... just waiting on a Y.

Thank you for pushing us to 500,000 car deliveries.

Can someone explain what his point is? So a lot of people traded options expiring the last day of the year. Unsurprising to me. Am I missing something

Great interview. For me, the most important quote was this one, because the full impact of FSD semis not to be priced into many of the stock price predictions yet:

“Musk: I'm extremely confident that Tesla will have level five next year, extremely confident, 100%.‘

 

[Big Time]

Also just read Frankfurt’s Stock exchange holiday is New Year’s Day...but....They choose to observe that.....on the 31st? Odd.

Aka I’m going to bed!

so very confusing, does that mean everyone shows up on the first hammered and gambles away grandpas pension?

It looks like Toilet Boy is displaying a little anxiety about the near-term performance of TSLA. You need to live in an alternate reality (and not a good one) to make sense of his little outburst. I think he's finally nearing rock-bottom.

Does this mean (1) Dojo launches sooner in 2021 than he previously indicated, (2) Dojo's launch will cause a near-instantaneous, radical improvement in FSD or (3) Dojo isn't necessary for Level 5?

I love the confidence. Using the term "Level 5" leaves no room for misunderstanding.

The Tesla Shop recently lowered the diecast prices of the Model S, 3, and X to $175 while the Roadster and Semi remained at $250. The Roadster and Semi are now $175 as well.

I just bought the diecast S last month.

I have a little new year's confession to make ... I'm about to become a seller.

I'm about to convert some of my "virtual gains" to hard concrete walls of a new apartment that will be mine and fully paid, no renting, no borrowing.
I can wait up to two months for TSLA to rise even higher so I'll need to sell smaller part of the pile.

My primary goal is to remain eligible for teslanaire club membership even after sinning against the Church of Hodl.

Maybe I should complain on Musk's Twitter feed, I paid the full €250 for my Roadster II and yes, that's equivalent of nearly $300 - Europeans getting screwed-over as always!! I demand a refund FFS!!

And they closed 14:00CET already yesterday, if you were paying attention

It's thanks to early-adopters like us, that Tesla can reduce prices now - be strong and think of The Mission!

Musk: Our approach is probably going to be to execute independently. But we can either manufacture or license some of our technology to companies like BMW. We're trying to be as pure as possible here with respect to our goal, which is to accelerate the advent of sustainable energy. So, it's not about creating competitive walled gardens or anything like that. We're going to be making our supercharger network available to other companies, we're going to offer licensing of autopilot. They want to use our autonomy. And we can potentially do something with battery cells. And, you know, we're willing to license technology to help other companies do the right thing.

Excellent - the right strategy: Tesla Inside.
All other car manufacturers are just metal box companies if they accept this. Which they most likely will not.
"Yeah, we have 100+ years experience in building cars. And now we build steel frames."
It may occur - when the other manufacturers are close to dying.
Perhaps a more likely scenario: In a few years traditional auto are going to start whining and complaining to regulators. Then smart regulators will require cost and technology sharing as a condition for aid. Who better to partner with than the proven technology and market leader?
Kill them with kindness.

My account value goes across a major milestone today. I can’t thank you and people on this forum enough. Thank you!

it is amazing that 99% of my stock investment knowledge is learned on TMC and it is Tesla that made me learn to invest so much.

Before I drove a Tesla in 2019 I only put 1% of time in stock, but now I am a full time stock investor and option trader

Please be very, very careful with options. The last year has NOT been a portent of the near future. No matter what many people think here, among RobinHood speculators or elsewhere. Markets rise and fall. TSLA rises and falls. Tesla prospects are indeed stellar. That does NOT translate into endless rises nor is it even remotely possible to repeat 2020 options gains among many of us.

The market makers win. Customers, in the long term. Lose. Nobel Prize winners go bankrupt.

My strong advice to anybody who began trading options successfully in 2020is:
Congratulations! Quit now while you have profits.
