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

[gtrplyr1]

Sometimes I'm baffled at the stupidity surrounding this stock. I woke up early to see it down over $40 in premarket and just laughed .... raising $2 billion for growth is a GREAT thing .... Obviously WS has realized that. I love the morons on the message boards with their gloom and doom predictions ... next time I'm just going to give out my home address and they can just directly send me their money and we can leave out the middle man.

Go TSLA.

Cheers to the longs ....

The delay just seems to be about getting the second quote for the price and getting both sides to sign off on it. Wildlife no longer appears to be any sort of obstacle.

Aw, come on, it's always therapeutic to blame the EU

And the ants

This morning I was sure I was going to be buying back multiple sold calls. Didn't get to buy back any. Instead, I just resold a previously bought-back call at a higher strike. This is not the day I was anticipating.

Either way, keep it volatile, TSLA!

For Perspective:
If we close above $780 today, it will be TSLA's highest close ever with the exception of the grandeur of Feb 4.
The march higher continues.....

Your phrasing seems to suggest its not possible to close about $887. Wheres the optimisim?

Amazing news. Tesla decided to go even bigger, faster.

 

[sparcs]

so the offering price could be a little higher since it's based on today's close. right?

Expected pricing date

02/13/2020 After the close

Seems the ants managed to mount a successful protest, and stopped at least for a day the planned tree cutting operation at Giga Berlin.

EU crap at its finest...

Seems like the deforestation has begun!

I was wondering the same. Perhaps it's an average?

I bet that German investment fund guy who was talking on TV the other day about how he just started shorting Tesla's bonds feels like a chump.

Last month I had that same price as a GTC stop limit to prevent my shares from being lent to short sellers. More recently I raised my limit to $1999.99. Of course before long I may have to raise it again.

So I had set a service appointment to check why my model3D was showing full charge range of only 298 miles. Here is the text I got (attached). The point is they remotely checked my driving pattern and said my battery is just fine.

I showed this text to my colleagues and they were so impressed at this next level customer service, and how this car platform is so different.


And to top it off, they will now use the appointment to retrofit the FSD computer.

What a great experience.

Not sure if this has been posted: Tesla seeks approval to build longer range Model 3 in China

Do you have the y axis? What are the actual number of share at a spcific price?

I am new too, but I think that if an entity wants to buy the stock in a significant amount they tend to drive the stock much higher when they start buying what is available. If they can come it and buy a set amount at a set price they can actually buy it cheaper than if they actively bought the stock on the open market.

 

[azaz]

If the share price goes too high today are we at risk of the cap raise not being fully subscribed? This is probably A dumb question so apologies!

Cathie Wood's Tweet about Tesla Cap Raise

Yup. Life's a Garden. Dig it.

Cheers!

Various nuggets from the 10K:

Acquisitions
Acquisitions done in 2019, not counting Maxwell.

Automotive credits / (no)info on FCA pool
140m$ out of 140m$ of deferred revenue to be recognized next 12 months.

Purchase obligations comparison between 2019 10-K and 2020 10-K
These are primarily battery cell buy obligations to Panasonic. So sheds a bit of light on what was renegotiated with Panasonic and how Tesla sees the future vis-á-vis how many battery cells they need from Panasonic.
Notice that no obligation has been entered into from 2024 and onward.
Notice that 2021/2022 seems to have been negotiated lower.

Same. Chat reviewed my car's log and saw a fault in charge port. Proceeded to schedule and order the part during the chat.

My point tho is cheers to you for spreading the word to your coworkers!
