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

[Artful Dodger]

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)

Lol, nice catch! ... maybe they can afford a shared Vulgarian Starlink terminal?

I don't think they're going to like the new news...

Cheers!

Loving the price action today! And as I predicted earlier, I am getting no work done today.

The one thing that would make this move more impressive is higher volume. But clearly, there are a dearth of sellers today.

 

[WattsHappening]

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?

I would think max pain is going to increase after today's SP action.

 

[jkirkwood001]

C'mon $600, fer cryin' out loud. Let's get this week started on the right foot.

Aw, yee-ah:

$TSLA owners be like:

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

The genius compared Ford 131khw pack vs Tesla's Model 3 61khw pack that had the same range.......Can't fix stupid.

Gun to my head I would guess the latter. But it’s early in the week - if macros take off or Tesla drops some significant news, we could run.

I still don’t think Elon lets the F150 hype drone on for much longer. Mission or not he’s a competitive guy and there’s a lot about Cybertruck that’s still in the pocket.

Driving several Teslas with FSD progress in beta is a paradigm shift in auto motive transport. I drove a few people around last weekend to dispel some FUD they had heard on the media esp. the BS about safety promoted by anti Tesla advertisers and interests. They changed their tune and now need to choose which Tesla would work for them. The husband wants one kind(probably a roadster or S Plaid) and the wife a Y or X. Maybe like us they'll may get 3 Teslas since they have a growing family.
Elon has it right on in IMHO. 8 eyes with the AI advancements should be much better than a two eyed human that only has 120 degrees field of vision vs. 360 of a Tesla. In addition the time lapse of eye to brain to foot to pedal is so slow compared to the computer controls(lapse time)
Its no wonder Teslas are orders of magnitude safer than other vehicles.
People will see betting against Elon will cost them.

Are we finally starting to run up into Q2 numbers? Sure would be nice. I think it's literally been 84 years since I actually saw 3 green days in a row for TSLA.

We have refresh S deliveries on Jun 3rd. Possibilities of changes need to be assessed.
I think the MM/TSLAQ crowd will go slow this week and early next week -- they need to make an assessment.

FUD has succeeded to bring SP to < 600, so any progress will take SP up to the prior High Water Mark and not go crazy.

Shouldn't be too bad for multipixel sized objects. Grey (brightness) - red - blue = green.

Right you are. For some reason I forgot they included clear (aka) gray in their Bayer pattern....

If this a typical five course (M-F) TSLA meal then Dessert is served the first day.... Wilted lettuce is the last course.

 

[Big Time]

Holy cow broke through that 610 pretty easily.....

 

[2daMoon]

I think we are through Max-Q on today's SP launch.

Booster is throttling back up.

Second Stage ignited, acceleration nominal for reaching orbital velocity.

First Stage returning for reuse tomorrow.

 

[UncaNed]

BUY SHORT TERM OPTIONS NOW! ALL IN!

The Mule just capitulated!

To Da Moon Baby! Da Moon!

EDIT: Just picked up 10 655 weeklies! Yes!

Shouldn't you have done that Friday?

I would love to see it break out of this slump. Last three green days in a row were 1/22-1/26 (gains of 1.65, 34.16, and 2.29)

 

[Artful Dodger]

Well good, because the current record for Falcon 9 booster turnaround is 53 days...

Cheers!

SP launches use a booster with a very Falcon fast turn-around time.

Reuters - this morning: Tesla Battery Supplier LG - New Plant

Excerpt:

State-owned Indonesia Battery Corporation (IBC) and South Korea's LG (003550.KS) will build a new battery plant worth $1.2 billion with the capacity of 10 gigawatt hours (GWh), Indonesia's investment minister said on Monday...

Reuters reported earlier this month that LG Energy Solution is looking to build advanced battery cells for U.S. EV maker Tesla Inc in 2023 and is considering potential production sites in the United States and Europe.

 

[traxila]

Shouldn't you have done that Friday?

Um, yeah I did.

BUT I REDOUBLED ON THE CAPITULATION!

See... it is all about the capitulation....

And, of course, if I may, 'If Tesla hits 700 by Friday does it really matter whether you bought calls on the Friday before or that Monday?".

Full disclosure: I dumped the 10 calls I picked up on Mule's capitulation for a 50% profit. Thanks, Mule! I owe you a drink!

Even more disclosure: What the hell am I doing dumping 655 calls for peanuts when the SP is going to 700 this week?.... I am such a bad trader...

 

[juanmedina]

I saw it at 58 earlier?
