Tesla stops making model 3. Only 80 in US inventory !

Your intrepid reporter went on line at Tesla.com this morning and added up all the inventory of model 3's in the good old USA.
After hours of intensive book work we find only 80 cars left in the entire country !

With such low inventory, how long can Tesla last ?

“This is a public offering of shares of common stock of Tesla, Inc.
Tesla is offering all of the shares to be sold in the offering.
Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “TSLA.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on April 30, 2019, as reported on Nasdaq, was $238.69 per share.
Mr. Elon Musk, our Chief Executive Officer, has indicated his preliminary interest in purchasing up to 41,896 shares of our common stock for a purchase price of approximately $10.0 million in this offering at the public offering price.
Concurrently with this offering of common stock and pursuant to a separate prospectus supplement, we are offering % convertible senior notes due 2024, or the notes, to the public in an aggregate principal amount of $1.35 billion (or $1.55 billion if the underwriters for the concurrent convertible notes offering exercise in full their option to purchase additional notes). The closing of this offering of common stock is not contingent upon the closing of the concurrent convertible notes offering, and the closing of the concurrent convertible notes offering is not contingent upon the closing of this offering of common stock.



..

Tesla, Inc., a Delaware corporation
2,723,198 shares (or 3,131,677 shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full).
176,405,175 shares (or 176,813,654 shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full).
We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $642.3 million (or approximately $738.7 million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full) after deducting the underwriting discounts and our estimated offering expenses. The estimated net proceeds are based on the assumed public offering price of $238.69 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on April 30, 2019. In addition, concurrently with this underwritten common stock offering, we are offering $1.35 billion aggregate principal amount of % convertible senior notes due 2024 ($1.55 billion if the underwriters exercise their option in full to purchase additional notes) pursuant to a separate prospectus supplement in an underwritten public offering. Through this common stock offering and our concurrent convertible notes offering we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately
$2.0 billion (up to $2.3 billion if the underwriters exercise their options in full to purchase additional common stock and notes) after deducting the underwriting discount and our estimated offering expenses.”

I may be bragging but just earlier today I was thinking (I posted also here) that they should raise $2B in convertibles.. this is at least 3/4th correct!! Good move to get this behind.

Stupid question - why do a capital raise now, when SP is so low. Secondly, why not just buy on the open market, which is lower than the offer??

I don't care about dilution, if this stock goes where I expect, won't make any difference...

Here's the offer: https://ir.tesla.com/node/19821/html

Apparently Elon will be buying $10m worth - like one of us getting 5 more shares, I suppose ;)

Well, isn't this a sight for very sore and tired eyes? Shorts running for the exit?

You aren't getting it.
Ok, EAP is not as good as you are when you are at 100%. How often are you at 100%?

I'd disagree with your distraction comment. Every single driver is distracted. There isn't a single person on the road that isn't tired, listening to music, thinking about their day, worrying about their family, mad at some guy that cut them off, eating something etc. FSD doesn't need to be better than you are your best, it needs to be better than you at your average.
Well at my average I am much better than current EAP.

I guess between say raise at $300 SP vs $230 your max additional dilution is only 1.5%, but more likely given it is convertible, it is likely much lower, I would guess 0.5%. So yes, foolish but not very impactful.

70% of the raise is through convertible debt not stocks.
Very curious to see the terms of these notes.

I wonder if this means they have decided where to build the Y and they want funds to start construction.

Necessary Evil ;) (running low on $$)

Missed opportunity in cap raise last year when SP was ATH. So A Jonas was right on this one.
I think Q1 miss was more than what Tesla had planned for due to (expiring Tax credits, Seasonality, ROW deliveries)

.. Hope this speeds up MY, Semi and we are back to growth (Beast) mode again.

I would guess that this means a GF in Europe to be announced soon... or an additional factory in California.

Not that I would know jack.

Could be rope for the shorts to hang by, or a message to wall street that is not very nice. I will be expecting to hear how this indicates TSLA is out of money.
