Coincidentally that’s the exact price I paid for my shares when I bought them yesterday. I bought them about 30 minutes after the open, so I wasn’t quick on the draw or anything. My point being that you’ll see headlines today saying the offering price is at a 5% or so discount to shares today. That’s meaningless and just an attempt to make Tesla look bad as if they had to discount their shares. There was no discount. That price (and even lower) was available to any retail investor yesterday after the share offering announcement.
Right on cue.....Bloomberg teasing coverage of Musk changing direction and selling shares at a discount.Coincidentally that’s the exact price I paid for my shares when I bought them yesterday.

More on topic: lots of talk about a Texas Gigafactory and while Texas was in the running against Nevada for Giga 1, I’d think a more centralized eastern location would better serve logistically. As well several eastern states are economical and have plenty of workforce.

I see your Rob Maurer and raise you Dave Lee on Investing:Another good video by Rob Maurer on Tesla Daily Podcast:

BTW, with this whole debate regarding the secondary offering.
Why now? Maybe ... and yes I'm guessing here.
Tesla realizes the demand for cyber truck is greater than expected .... wants to get it off the ground faster than originally planned. In addition we know that Model Y is ahead of the original timeline. Tesla needs somewhere to make the cyber truck ... TX perhaps ??? (just a little guess) .... ok TX it is .. how do we fund? well a secondary offering would get it off the ground very quickly.
Just a thought ...
Cheers to the longs

Can anyone explain why we even have pre-market and after hours trading? I never really understood how this is allowed given that not everybody can trade. To me it’s no different than some people having access to non-public information and trading on it before it’s made public. It also seems like it makes it super easy to manipulate a stock.
$767 was the TSLA closing price two days ago, and the basis if the prospectus.
In the final offer they simply didn't change that price, so the equity round was closed immediately.
I don't think you want to scale CT per se, it'll be more effective to have a long limited release period at the advertised price points. That will do two things, set the performance benchmarks and put a cap on market price points for Ford/etc.If Cybertruck is first to scale production, it will eat a ton of the reservations from other brands due to better range for the price.

The chart above includes the sales and warranty expenses for all of Tesla's products (Auto, Solar, Storage, etc).
Not only are sales increasing but quality is improving as well, demonstrated by the continuous drop in warranty costs...now at 2.1% of sales.

Anybody have any insight on what the "latest" information request is about? I presume 'Qers have been throwing countless FUD at the wall and something "new" stuck? I've lost track of the conspiracy theories at this point.
In particular, the SEC had issued subpoenas to Tesla in connection with (a) Elon Musk’s prior statement that he was considering taking Tesla private and (b) certain projections that we made for Model 3 production rates during 2017 and other public statements relating to Model 3 production. The take-private investigation was resolved and closed with the settlement with the SEC described above. On December 4, 2019, the SEC (i) closed the investigation into the projections and other public statements regarding Model 3 production rates and (ii) issued a subpoena seeking information concerning certain financial data and contracts including Tesla’s regular financing arrangements. Separately, the DOJ had also asked us to voluntarily provide it with information about the above matters related to taking Tesla private and Model 3 production rates.
