Do you mean because this would mean the SP would spike insanely high, only to come back down again fast?I am actually worried about a VW/Porsche style short squeeze for Tesla.

What do people think about splitting the daily thread into two?
Tried to find this but couldn't. Anyone have a link to the tweet?worth a mention: Musk already said on Twitter that he will be discussing long range production estimates during the earnings call (2023/24 etc) Something to be prepared for in terms of stock price reaction.
Could it be that they are simply manipulating to amplify their day trading activities? Buy low in the morning and sell higher during the day, endulge (and encourage) the volatility, rinse and repeat?
Here's the actual Executive Order: https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onroad/cert/pcldtmdv/2020/tesla_pc_a3740032_0_z_e.pdfDid you guys see this? I'd be pretty happy if true

So, with more and more brokers offering fractional shares, I think this is less important.Just catching up on the thread. Regarding stock splits, if Tesla doesn't split, the big question will be, should I buy a car or shall I buy a share. At one point I remember this dilemma regarding an iPhone.
Conversely, not splitting reduces the liquidity of options, as seen with BRK.A options being untradeable (because an option involving 100 shares of a $339k/share stock is ludicrously expensive)... and that reduces the amount of speculation (as opposed to investing) in the stock. This doesn't affect employee stock options, either, as those can be issued in units of less than 100 shares, all the way down to one share (although splitting before $100,000/share might not be a bad idea, to reduce the size of a single share options grant).
After an impressive day with a gap up plus intraday rise of +10%, closing +5% higher than the old all-time-high set just two trading days ago, with barely any pullback, I'd expect short-seller margin calls to come rolling in in volume, maybe set new all-time-highs as well in after-hours trading.
Wow, this is a very good argument against splitting the TSLA stock - and argument that someone should repeat to any Tesla Investor Relations person willing to listen.
Yes bc if you buy/sell 100s of contracts, you generally are sophisticated (or smart) enough to hedge.. edit: with share purchasing or selling activity ***Do people buying a handful of options (even if you add them all up) really influence stock price all that much? A $5k or $10k SP isn't prohibitive to speculators who currently buy 100s or 1000s of option contracts, is it?

“Toss a coin to ur Witcher”, Elon deserves it.Well, technically it's newly printed shares, so it will impact all the EPS calculations, etc. - i.e. it's technically dilutive, so TSLAQ have been using this half-truth to create an imaginary $554 price barrier for short-term price rises.
The first tranche is 1.69 million shares, so the dilutive effect is also minimal (0.9%) - and obviously dealing with a sustained $554 (and higher) price levels is a happy problem to Tesla investors.

Absolutely, see @ReflexFunds's analysis about the delta hedging side effect from a couple of days ago:
Reflex Research on Twitter
"$TSLA options update 1) At Tesla the huge options market (Calls on 71m shares, Puts on 148m) is a very powerful stock price feedback loop. Higher prices force option sellers to buy more shares to delta hedge & these purchases again drive the price higher."
While in most stocks the options market follows the underlying, TSLA price action is very often defined by very large derivatives positions.
Basically TSLA options are extremely unpredictable and hard to price. Hence my impression is that most options market makers don't even try: they just delta hedge and mark up options premiums to finance the overhead.
Yes, like last Friday they will occasionally freeze price action into a narrow range to take a bite out of profit taking and options exercise, and to make rollover expensive to options holders - but other than that I don't think market makers have the market power to define the TSLA price - it goes wherever people trading options and the stock want it to go.
Once he runs out of space for unsold model 3 he'll be looking at islands for sure.So long as Elon keeps his ratio of personal luxury spending to investment-in-a-better-future spending down, I consider being diluted by CEO awards to Elon to be a form of charitable contribution to building a better world.
In regards to that, I do think he's gone a bit overboard in terms of buying out the neighbors in his neighborhood. Last I saw his LA real estate was estimated at $70M, and he has smaller amounts of real estate elsewhere. But he's far from "private islands", "superyachts", "floating sky palaces" territory. He also has a $70M Gulfstream G650ER, which sometimes he practically lives out of, but 90+% of his travel is business travel, and pretty much nobody who supports Musk's work wants to see him wasting time traveling coach. He could get by on a cheaper jet, with only occasionally needing more stopovers, but... meh.

I paid most of my Tesla-related expenses too. Tesla last year was actually net negative comp for me.
