All the cries of manipulation and "buying dips" while the stock is still trading in the $600s is crazy talk. Tesla is currently valued at ~$600 Billion (over $725 Billion once you account for all the approved options/RSUs). We are trading at $3,200 pre split level.
It is going to take literally years of perfect execution for Tesla to grow into its current valuation. I am fine hanging on to my common stock for a long time and waiting for that day to occur and for further growth to come, but there is no way I am going to be levering up with options at anywhere close to this level. (Back under $400 a share - if it ever went there - I might start considering getting back into options.)
Feel free to disagree with this post - I know many will - but it feels like there are people on here who would still be saying "buy buy buy" even if the stock was trading at a $2 trillion valuation tomorrow. Some of you are losing your grip on a realistic valuation.
