Yes, that's why I really like these. I have leaps and TSLA too, but unlike options, convertibles have no time pressure and they pay back face value in all but the absolutely worst case. They also drop less during down cycles. E.g. since I bought mine, TLSA dropped 25% while the bonds dropped 13%. In theory, I could sell a portion of the bonds, and buy equities at a lower entry point. Otoh if TSLA had gone up, I'd participate in the upside through the conversion assuming it cracked 310 in 5 years.
Another way to look the convertible bonds at $90 is they pay 2.2%, with an effectively strike of $280, because it costs $90 to get $100 face value applied to the conversion.
Zero, zilch, none,nada
Thanks for the replies everyone. It appears I have overreacted to the news based on the mistaken assumption that all those Zoe’s would have put Renault in a better position to benefit FCA - but apparently not quite enough.
Is the conversion price protected for share dilution? Or will it always be set at $310?

Source: various statements by Elon and the Shanghai municipal planning documents that were referenced in one of the Chinese sources that were quoted here months ago, which mentioned the 30k/week figure.
Can you or anybody else share the link to that?
Remember: they are not 'waiting for cash flow' in China, it's local debt financed. The Shanghai Gigafactory project has already been incredibly accelerated, all the permits issued already, the project is connected to the electric grid, etc.: and that they expect to make 3k Model 3's per week at the end of this year (not end of next year as originally planned, not in 2 years like GM or in 3 years like Ford) is amazingly fast for a car factory that implements the full range of manufacturing steps like Fremont: stamping, body shop, paint shop, plastic shop, general assembly.
They also plan scaling it up to 30,000 cars/week capacity, which will be ... amazing, and China is actually large enough to absorb that supply.
Tried to find but failed - only found this self-reference from January:
The source was either 'vincent' on Twitter (reliable China source), or the guy who is doing the GF3 drone videos - quoting Shanghai government permits/documents that outlined the planned full capacity of GF3. I also have his vague memory that Elon also mentioned either the 1.5m/year or 30k/week figure in one of the interviews or speeches he gave in China.
Sorry, no better sourcing than that.
But acreage is an independent metric as well: GF1 is 2 million sqft, while GF3's land size is 9 million sqft, more than 4 times as large. Fremont is ~5 million sqft but not utilized optimally due to the historic path.
Can you translate it? What kind of platform is this?
Norway's EV market is a bit misleading, their policy heavily favor EV (which is great). I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of their vehicle demand switch to EV soon.
However, as EVs continue to improve and reduce cost, ICE vehicles cost go up due to reduced scale and lower resale value, we might see the same Norway phenomenon everywhere in the future.
If Renault could sell a lot more ZOE's they no doubt would - but they cannot, they cannot compete with Tesla head on.
Tesla China will release certain events on May 31
