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

[corduroy]

I just opened my 14 year old a brokerage account and bought him 2 shares of COIN.

Why not .75 of a TSLA share?

I hope you realize that in reality, between 2010 and 2020, the volume during the summer months was only less about 50% of the time. The notion that there’s guarantees to be lower volume and worse performance in stocks is kind of a myth

I think the market is in a period of TSLA burnout. Obviously it's just a guess that it'll lead to consistent low volume all summer. My thought is that pandemic burnout will only lessen the desire to trade this summer.

Leave him alone, every time he opens his mouth the share price goes up

Fair and to each their own. I’m still in the camp that Wall St will get in front of the Biden Infrastructure plan. So I’m looking for July to be liftoff with the signing of that bill in late July or Aug.

For cars that have HW3, I'm almost positive the radars will just become appendages. They'll power them off. This will save a smidgeon on range, but more importantly eliminate the phantom braking and free up the FSD compute to devote its time to vision (and Solitaire).

Sidenote: Tesla must be extraordinarily confident to remove the hardware. It's a good sign. It shows their testing over the last xxx million miles shows that radar is not necessary.

Just kidding about the Solitaire, by the way.

It's the easter-egg flight-simulator you need to watch out for...

I saw it at 58 earlier?

TSLA decoupled from renewables and only generally correlating with FAANG. The move is TSLA-specific suggesting to me possible Monday unwinding of shenanigans from last week.

You are a natural writer, when does the book come out?

Thank you! Good to know the time and money spent on those writing courses wasn’t a complete waste.

True story, I wrote a how to manual for Microsoft Outlook when it first came out for the company I worked for at the time - a mostly old boy’s club membership, many who had never turned on a computer. I then had to present it at a board meeting with overhead projections. I think I have a copy lying around here somewhere —

Many things make sense now...

Yes, we do:

GreenTheOnly on Twitter has been a valuable asset for prying into Tesla Vision under the hood.

This continues to be really interesting to me. For one, it gives the probability that it is a Model S (near 100% much of the time). But it also sometimes says that a car in the left lane is a Model S, which my two MK1 eyeballs determine has never been been a Model S in its existence. So still a work in progress.

Somewhere in deepest Vulgaria, a village searches desparately for it's long-lost idiot. If only they had cable business news... /s

Cheers!

For those that didn't catch this, Vulgaria is the fantasy country from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which also featured an autonomous (flying) car

(plus the scariest horror character of all time)

(and not a porno)

(although the baroness is a bit risqué in the chu-chi face song)

If history is any indicator, you're probably spot on. I was absolutely certain of take off before 1Q P&D and obviously even more so after. Now I'm a little shell shocked and pushing off any other leveraged action out of fatigue.

This is exactly the brand of behavior MM's feed upon. Enjoy! (I'll be over here crying in the corner)

Note that Ford F-150 Electric Pickup May Get Newly Patented Range Extender in Its Bed mentions the F150 electric could get an optional gas motor range extender. IMHO that could potentially also power the home through the same V2H hookup, and its one differentiator of Ford vs Tesla that they do not shy away from adding a gasoline part to their EVs.

But what if Tesla did something similar for the cybertruck, with hydrogen fool cells?

I would not be impressed. Because there is not a hydrogen fueling station anywhere near my home and hydrogen fuel is a very expensive and dirty way to power a generator. And I don't want a hydrogen station near my house until they can make clean hydrogen as cheaply as solar electricity.

Regarding Gordo and other propaganda peddlers, have we ever determined the price of a segment on CNBC? You would think there is a price list of sorts.

I would be curious to know how much we are being outbid.

Exactly, especially in Texas. I mean, solar will be pumping like mad in any of these extended outage scenarios. Just buy cheap rooftop solar, a Powerwall or two, drive/charge your EV, and live your life as normal.

Why are we discussing this as if Ford invented some new concept? It's a worse version of what Tesla's bee offering from the start......and incorporating hydrogen simply cuts the efficiency in half.

Fairly standard 5% moves in either direction on low volume trading days for a $600B company. Nothing to see here SEC!

 

[Bunky]

So with max pain at $600 for the week, do we think that will slide up or 'they' will bring us back below this $600 call wall?
