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

[X Fan]

Another thing that we have to keep in mind - the more range that is available, the less charging stations are needed. With the rumor/hope that the Plaid S will somehow have 500 miles of range, that will eliminate a TON of charging on the road (ie, non-home or non-destination charging). I know for my traveling habits, it would eliminate 90% of my supercharger visits. It would also open up a lot of routes to me that, right now, simply aren't doable in my S85.

I recently told someone that going to a gas station is a lot like the old days when we went to the "movie store" to rent DVDs. Why fuel at a gas station when you could fuel at home? I explained that charging stations were only needed for traveling. But, the more I think about it, the more I can envision a day when EVs have SO much range, that a stop to charge is something that very few people ever experience. And charging stations will be shutdown instead of opened.

As EV edges closer to 100% of sales , volume alone will require stations. Plus, use “older” folks need our “pit”‘ stops.

I’m feeling some irrational exuberance over here!
Somebody stop me before I start dancing

Why not dance? Elon does!

Well, 600 strikes grow like crazy today.

So, turns out @anthonyj was right and Jack Rickard was right and we're all bears here.

I'd like to take a moment to commend my fellow TMCers on their strict adherence to the no poetry rule. Truly, you're a fine bunch.

 

[SOULPEDL]

the bubble can't continue.

I think of Tesla more as a spring that was compressed by a large stump about 6 months wide, and it's now releasing as it climbs the mountain. I expect some bouncing around, but it's just fine at $500.

If we all dance like Elon in unison across he globe, I feel like that should exert an upward gravitational force on the stock price.

I’ll leave the details to the physicists, but I think this would work.

Withdrawing some $$ to pay off my Tesla Model 3, thank you TSLAQ!

Tesla China is just an amazing accomplishment.

So obviously that Tesla anti-investor mouthpiece Lora Kolodny had to try and spin it around:

we still have power hour left to go

 

[CorneliusXX]

That's why the current price is not sustainable.

Solid DD.

You say that as though dancing clowns don’t serve a purpose nor an important purpose.

Everyone has a role to play on the team. No one position is more important than the other.

Yes, I’m being serious. Even the shorts have an important role. Without them would Elon/Tesla tried half as hard?

Shorts had/have lessons to teach. No, I don’t like them and wish they’d curl up in a log and rot, but I still recognize their role is vital to how all this plays out.

That concludes our Zen session for the day.

The Dancing Elon Master expresses primal wisdom.

When you turn, the jacket appears. Toss to side. Perform Loch Ness strut.

Spiegal is freaking out on Twitter. Blaming the Chinese for running the stock up because they would be the only ones interested...
This worries me that shorts haven’t been squeezed hard enough

 

[RobStark]

I am getting plantar fasciitis from running all the victory laps.

 

[UncaNed]

While this run has been great, 2013 was something else because options were just stupidly cheap. It took market makers a while to properly price in the volatility as TSLA had been range bound for so long. Buying calls felt like printing money. You really need to pay for options now.

That's what you're saying about options price 6 years after the fact.

What will we be saying about 2019 option prices in 6 years from now???

Have to do it dirty today.

As EV edges closer to 100% of sales , volume alone will require stations. Plus, use “older” folks need our “pit”‘ stops.

Plus there will be a large amount of Tesla (and other BEV) owners that live in apartments without charging capabilities, at least for the short and mid term.

i think she's just trolling on her twitter to get some attention. ignore.

 

[Todd Burch]

Wow. Only $3 B behind VW! When will Tesla become the world's second most valuable auto manufacturer??

I created a poll for your guesses here.
