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

[Captkerosene]

This Interstate Commerce matter really needs to go to SCOTUS.

From my trading platform's newsfeed - 15:43 EDT:
Tesla loses bid to overturn Louisiana's ban on direct car sales.

I don't understand what that means from a practical standpoint for somebody who wants to buy a Tesla in Louisiana. I do wonder if these laws haven't actually helped Tesla more than they've hurt us. As it is, legacy auto will never be able to jettison the millstone they all carry that is the dealership network.

Tesla giga casting gets its biggest supporter yet from legacy auto

This use of giga casting machines, analysts have estimated, has likely helped Tesla achieve industry-leading profitability.

Could not say i saw this one coming

$262.03.

Remember the misses as well as the hits.

And analyze what was wrong with the reasoning that $260 was some sort of magic ceiling. If 50% of the predictions are wrong and 50% of the predictions are right, maybe some folks are still being “Fooled by Randomness”.

Let's go for the $300 next week

Fixed that for you ;-)

The stock market averages were pushed steadily downward this afternoon. That's typical risk-off behavior prior to a three-day weekend.

Onwards and upwards for $TSLA! Would not be surprised if we see some institutions reveal that they were buying during this run up next week.

Here's a little bit more on that.
I'd expect the federal district court ruling to be appealed.

A: managed easily enough with retractable bollards in a security-style "man-trap" arrangement allowing only authorized vehicles to get through.

B: Once in operation this could be a perfect place to refine FSD's edge cases in the march of nines.

For FSD A: doesn't lead to B:

Reminder that max pain is $173 with a call wall at $200 on triple witching half year summer sale potion brewing day in 2 weeks. MMs and shorts remain formidable and won't give up without a fight.
P&D coming in 1 month. If D is >P then . Otherwise, we may need to wait another quarter (or two ) for Cybertruck TAM big bang cause a car ain't real until people get a D...

Like Shiv, Kendall and Roman, I am not a serious person. Never knowingly bearish.

As resident hyper bull I decided to try out being a bit bearish a couple of weeks ago. How did that go? Let's just say that my bullet proof street cred around here may have been dented a little.
TSLA up 23% since I wrote this (just 2 weeks ago).

Needless to say, I am prepared to make further bearish comments but it will cost you. $1m per post will suffice. A drop in the ocean for you lot - ROI of 10,000%+ in 2 weeks. Let me know which fundraising site you are all comfortable with.

Off to Waymo motors club to prepare the assault - you all deserve my very best.

 

[Artful Dodger]

Ok, so if this is true is it really that big a deal?

Hint: it from roto-REUTERS... and I thought you were cynical.

Tesla IS a Chinese company (and a German company, and soon a Mexican company). The ONE THING the Gov't of China wants mao than anything is EXPORTS. Other Chinese EVs are barely exported comparted to Tesla.

Of course Shanghai will support Tesla production expansion. REUTERS is lying. Again.

(that 50day SMA is inching on the cross of the 200)

The 50/200 day "Golden Cross" is currently tracking for next Friday, June 23, 2023:

Mostly because the MA(200) moves very slowly, and the MA(50) is rising at the rate of about $1.50 per day right now. May provide a nice little boost for next Friday's Options expiry.

Cheers to the longs!

The credit works exactly the same way as far as qualifications, the only change is you can transfer it to the dealer to apply toward the vehicle at time of sale.

If it turns out when you file your taxes you didn't actually qualify for that credit you took you'll be writing the IRS a check.





Given it's a non-refundable credit, that means it's not "giving" buyers any money at all, it's simply letting them keep more of their own money by reducing their tax burden.

This addresses the objections (well, all valid ones anyway) about other people "subsidizing" EV buyers- they're not.

But it's also why if you HAVE no tax burden there's nothing to reduce.

Most folks buying a new car will have one though (and many others can create one in various ways like a roth conversion, recognizing some cap gains in profitable investments, etc)

Thanks mate! That's what I thought but never hurts to ask. And I think you might be surprised at how many people don't owe any Fed taxes, especially us retired folks. A pure rebate would have been much better to increase sales of BEV's, but it probably would have been more difficult to pass the legislature.

Not to be the downer of the party, amazing progress, but not much on term of vehicles, I will wait for CleanerWatt video since he has been keeping track of production pretty close

If those cells are going into Model Y and that number are only from good cells, this is around 11500 4680 Model Ys

If they are 4680 V2 and that is being set aside for Cybertruck, this is around 5000 Cybertrucks with 500 miles of range

Looking forward to the 100 million mark and hope it comes soon, which would be a really good sign for the ramp

On the other hand where else can one hire a driver with a PhD?

The FED? oh, I though you said "diver"....

Cheers!

For FSD A: doesn't lead to B:

Reply was in regard to a post about using geofencing to hone FSD. If that were to be tried Vegas may be a good place to begin.

Unfortunately really behind here.

 

[Artful Dodger]

So expect a lot of people outside the US, without FSDBeta to basically discount its value to zero until they fix super basic stuff like this. Its embarrasing to hear elon talk about achieving FSD this year when a new Tesla cannot see a brick wall a foot in front of it, or know when to turn wipers on...

... and yet not a single word about European Regulators which are preventing FSD Beta from being deployed in those countries. Truly embarrassing.
