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

[Oil4AsphaultOnly]

Thank you for the welcome. And yeah, I got the feeling rather quick about SA, particularly when I realized how spammy they are with emails (that smoke never ever comes without a fire, from any entity, lol).

Plus, the dumbo doesn't talk about how Tesla is doing *SO MUCH* spending in things OTHER than selling cars. I am a huge car guy, always have been for well over 20 years - almost fanatical levels - love this stuff, and, let me tell you, the traditional automakers out there are all royally screwed if they don't change very quickly. Do I have solutions? Not really, I just continue to accumulate TSLA ...

Yeah, I actively avoid clicking on Anton W., Bill Maurer, and Montana Skeptic's articles about TSLA, so can't help you there Although I do read Quoth The Raven's for their views on the financials. Interestingly enough, I haven't heard a peep from QTR about Q3's results yet! He might actually be coming to the realization that his past interpretations were all wrong!

Oh well.

Cross-Over would be a strong Tech Signal, and MM likely defending it past few days ...

Over at the German "Tesla Fahrer und Freunde Forum" (TFF Forum - Tesla Fahrer & Freunde) they posted this article that is reporting that at the planned Gigafactory 4 site a 100 by 100 meter area has been cleaned from vegetation and leveled to host a Tesla ceremony: Das sagen die Anwohner des neuen Tesla-Werks (german). So there might be a groundbreaking ceremony planned in the not so distant future...

Man, sure seems like people really don't want it to stay above 350.

A chorus of Shorties are talking about saving the trees in Berlin

Does anyone even fall for concern trolling anymore? I know we all have a low opinion of those guys, but do they really think that would register for SP valuation? And they call Tesla fans a cult.

Not to poke the mods with more references to the Cybertruck... but this patent discovery just popped up in the relevant forum here: Tesla Cybrtrk

The logo is a stylized CYBRTRK.

Thought you all would find this interesting, but for the sake of the mods please discuss it in the linked thread!

Of course not, but their goal would be to try and rally local activists against the giga, which would obviously be a bad look and have the potential to delay site prep and construction. That WOULD register for SP.

Yeah, saw that Dougie post! Only thing is the car he reviewed did not have the latest update, with HOLD feature and the 5% power bump

CLOSING 3 TSLA 191101 310 PUTs @$0.10 Profit $960

Selling more otm PUTS around 290 level.

SOLD 5 TSLA 191129 290 PUTs @$4.80 (max profit $2400)

Closing profitable trade, above

BOUGHT 5 TSLA 191129 290 PUTs @$.20 Profit $2300

My next move will use an aggressive trade strategy

Will execute a “risk reversal” trade (sell put & buy call) in anticipation that TSLA shares will make a sharp move in response to the truck reveal on Nov 21st.

So with tsla @ $350

SOLD 2 191122 340 puts @ $5.00 and BOUGHT 2 191122 350 calls @ 8.40 for a debit of $680

Colin Rusch destroys all of Charley Grant's arguments on CNBC

Tesla is poised to deliver both unit growth and also drive costs lower, says Oppenheimer analyst

Keep shorting Charley, and keep telling your clients to short. That interview is going to look stupider and stupider for him every year that passes.

It will cross by Tuesday. And no, pointing out golden crosses should not be moved to the TA thread in my opinion. Further discussion should be had in the TA thread, but all investors need to be aware of TA events as important as golden crosses or TSLA crossing major moving averages.

Today in the Berlin state parliament there was a debate about the current state of the Berlin economy. All speakers welcomed Tesla´s decision to invest in Berlin. However there are some voices in the socialist and green party that are quoted in the media with critical opinions about Tesla producing oversized SUV in the planned factory. We have had an intense debate about SUV´s when there was a severe accident when the driver of a large SUV lost control and killed several people this summer. Also there is a big issue with the space large cars occupy in crowded Berlin. Further background is that the transport sector misses the national CO2 reduction targets by a large margin and rising SUV numbers are mostly blamed for that.

I loved how the CNBC host kept trying to cut Colin off, but he was on a roll, and just kept countering all the ridiculous statements Charley Grant was making.

@ev-enthusiast @Fact Checking @MissAutobahn @skivi

Several of you who marked my posted video as "Funny" can speak German. Is it confusing to try to read the fake subtitles, while understanding the spoken words?

No, not all all - in fact that is the reason why a 'Berlin invasion' themed version is entertaining.

I do wonder what Bruno Ganz would have thought about this creative use of his acting...

PS. Unlike actual Germans, I am used to reading subtitles...

Why are they fighting against a completely electric Auto manufacturer? If people are going to by SUVs anyway, let them by Teslas!

WTF, I just received today's closing price from Tesla????

This is rather puzzling. Don't they understand that the Model Y is a quite small SUV? More pertinently, don't they know that Tesla cars are fully electric and emit no carbon dioxide?

That's of course a ridiculous distraction.

But in principle, the cutting down of these trees will not in itself release that much CO2, that only happens when the wood is burned or decomposes.

So in principle Tesla could give the timber away to people/projects that would use it for construction.

Or Tesla could use it themselves, for e.g. GF4 fencing - or maybe Supercharger roofing with PV panels on top...

PS. The area is just a pine plantation so just one kind of trees all planted in neat rows that has little to do with a natural forest.

It was so obvious. I could not help thinking that someone was chirping in the CNBC host's earpiece, "Abort. Abort. Not going as planned. Sponsors will be pissed. Charley is looking the fool. Getting his butt kicked. End this now!"

They could even build a shack with it for Mark Spiegel to live in when he finally gets kicked out of his parents’ basement/bathroom.

The argument goes that the overall energy demand of the transport sector should be reduced by having less and smaller and more efficient cars on the road.
