I know a good number of such, and I fear for the veracity of this statement...because of the understandable but lamentable propensity for some to cash out some of this largesse rather than holding.

Ahh, nothing like two-month's pay before my morning coffee...

Net pay is your salary - your living expenses. Equal to your savings rate.

So far today, I'm up just over 4 years... That's quite a college degree

Thx Elon and Team!

Made the same mistake on the 15JAN'21 720c I sold last week

No worries. I think I was the one who bought it.

Kept it until today, and passed it on - too early.

But gotta spread the wealth I guess, shouldnt get too greedy, you know-

Somewhere in S&P world...
“I told you we should have added Tesla as soon as they were eligible!”
“Yah, yah, you’ve told us that a million times. You can shut up now”

But...but....I meant it that last time!

 

[goinfraftw]

Well, getting close to 8 digits.

There are clearly no shares available and plenty of folks that still need to buy. This is what I assumed would happen the week of inclusion, enter inclusion at $650 top out around $850 with a spike higher, then a slight drift back. I guess benchmarkers and some shorts chose to roll the dice. How's that working out?

Yep, I had a ladder of sell limits between 700 and 800 waiting for the squeeze. Never triggered on inclusion day so I nuked them. Now just leisurely selling a bit here and there, first to kill margin, now for an additional year's worth of emergency cash.

A picture is worth... 760 billion words??

 

[Big Time]

If I owned a garage I would buy a Tesla LOL
It’s getting REAL for a man who has slept in a parking garage or two. Suddenly I feel like a kingpin Haha!

Again if anyone is selling or considering any property in Twin Cities area let me know.

Can one of you kind souls please direct me to a tax information hub that isn’t IRS.com I would love to see a more stock focused tax information article.

thanks friends, heading to 900?! When?!

Damn it feels good to be a ...

Does not even include the $5B cap raise.

 

[bro1999]

Damn it, really kicking myself for selling my 1/29 1,000c yesterday.
But my 1/29 1,100c is up 110%! I'm letting that one ride.

I confess...I sold some shares on January 4th (to cover a large amount of credit card debt I incurred maximizing investments during the downturn, which debt was soon going to change from being 0% interest to 23.99%). Cleary the wrong move...but it feels good not to have a ton of credit card debt anymore...

 

[Cherry Wine]

Huh. The first million really is the hardest.

 

[Artful Dodger]

This morning's "melt-up" feels like MMs delta hedging the $50 SP increase...

Volume was 21.5M shares by 11:15 AM.

 

[TheTalkingMule]

I hate to rain on the parade, but it's clearly time to raise cash again! Maybe $10B or so. Shouldn't impact SP, especially when the Robinhooders get their $2k checks.

It's the sensible thing to do. Open up that factory in Beverly Hills.

I don't think that was the wrong move at all. Credit Card debt can turn ugly extremely fast.

Selling gains to pay off debts is a great use of your return.

I won't lie I am debating selling about 15% of my position to help pay some home renovations right now.

 

[woodisgood]

Which half?

I’ve heard rumors that the left side of the vehicles will do that, while the right will still be built by hand. In a tent. Complicated logistics but fortunately the new Gigas offer enough space.

Getting out of risky and expensive debt is rarely a bad idea. The stock could have gone down to $500 for all we knew.

Audie, this is not the first time you have strongly suggested shareholders keep a tight grasp on shares. Many of us do not need convincing but I am curious based on your background and standing on TMC if you could give some more detailed perspective on how you see Tesla & TSLA in the years/decade(s) to come. If you have done this somewhere else recently, please remind me where I can find that post (I believe I recall a post a couple years back now when you mentioned a potential share price in line with the higher end of the ARK forecasts but I might be wrong).
