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

[Unpilot]

Volume production is 2022 ...maybe a few cyber trucks late this year

 

[MABMAB]

CT volume 2022, I dont wanna wait that long!

 

[SOULPEDL]

I want all the batteries in the world!

 

[H Mak]

the only guidance i've heard so far for 2021 deliveries was an offhand "probably 50% increase over last year, and we'll probably exceed that". did i miss more formal guidance at some point? That implies 750k delivery guidance, which is obviously very conservative.

From the pack:

And today's market hours trading volume was only about 50% of the average!

 

[ByeByeJohnny]

I think the drop could be algos selling as soon as they see 'miss on earnings'? Then the ripples through retail investors happen, sell orders get triggered, etc. I might be wrong though.

Sure, but there was a distinct almost $10 fall while they were discussing batteries. I know low volume but it's not like anyone was buying during positive message..

3 screens and playing Witcher3... MCU3, right?

I'm showing less than 25k shares so far after hours.

I don't think that's accurate. I'm seeing the same number as you, but earlier it was 3.8M. 25k just doesn't make sense for an earnings report day. There is some sort of glitch.

EDIT: And now I'm seeing volume as 4M again.

It just jumped to 4M.

4 million is the volume so far. (Today's totale volume during market hours was 23 million and avg. volume is 40+ million shares)

New Model S uses 18650 confirmed, "will for a few years".

 

[mrmage]

Super bullish. If it dips that's just the usual shenanigans.

I will however be selling half my holdings in the next couple days to buy a really nice house with 3 garages plus a 1300 sqft workshop with 14 ft ceilings. Banks won't finance me because I only just became rich in 2020 so I gotta go all cash.

You'll catch me crying about it in various fully paid off Teslas.

Not sure where you are, but within the US you should be able to get a mortgage based on assets from a mortgage broker. Rates over the past week have been in the 4-5% range.

Dude, get a line of credit with your shares as collateral. Finance yourself. Pay back later, after stonk doubles.

If stock brokers are giving the loan, they're basically using margin. The rate can be low, but I'd rather not reduce brokerage margin and would rather get a mortgage via an asset depletion loan instead.

 

[Tyler34]

Still 18650s in use

 

[Todd Burch]

New S uses new chemistry but still 18650, continuing to use 18650 for a few more years.

Edit: I should say "new cells"...I assumed that meant chemistry but it might be something slightly different.

 

[Boomer19]

the new S keeping 18650 - good question Potter
3rd party battery purchases dont require 4680 form factor

 

[Krugerrand]

Thank you Jesus! No more posts required about which cells are in S for at least two years.

Not sure where you are, but within the US you should be able to get a mortgage based on assets (e.g. brokerage accounts value). Rates over the past week have been in the 4-5% range.

But does't that count as a distribution if your shares are in IRAs?

Elon again states that FSD, when ready, more than doubles revenues of Tesla instantly. And all of that extra revenue falls to the bottom line. Margins become insane.

And this extra revenue and margins is happening now with sales of FSD options in car sales, and will continue to grow even before the first regulator approves robotaxis. For example, Elon just indicated that Chinese consumers are not buying FSD now at the rate of US and Europe. They need to see it working better to believe it. Elon is very confident that sometime this year, FSD is certainly going to be good enough to convince the Chinese market to start taking the FSD option. Ka-ching!

 

[Todd Burch]

Just realized there's no mention of charge rate on new S. Any guesses on that?
