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

A mega rave cave. Like an underground nightclub. Most likely a joke, but with Elon who knows?

i would be more likely to consider it a joke if it came from anyone other than Elon.

i mean, everyone also thought he was joking about the flamethrower, the monty python tower, and launching his roadster into outer friggin space. a rave cave would not make the top 10 most ridiculous things he's made happen.

Yeah I think on the third row podcast he said it would be cool to have a nightclub in Berlin giga. I don’t think he is joking.

Any ideas about what Elon means with this "Mega-cave" under the Berlin Giga?

Elon talked about building a discothèque at the new Gigafactory. You know, so you want to go to work 'cuz its a FUN place to be...

I think its a callback to Elon dancing on stage during the ceremony for the new Gigafactory in Shanghai.

Fun Fact: Elon turned his College Dorm room into a disco/nightclub to help pay the bills.

Cheers!

Still hasn't made the roller coaster at GF1

I would not be at all surprised about the rave cave. Make it a fun place for employees and makes the factory a weekend destination for the young and hip of Berlin...

Possibly a tiny revenue stream.

Might be a little far out in the boonies though?

yeah, he built it on wall street instead.

Bat cave!

I think its walking distance from the commuter train station.

"Rave Cave" sounds Boring.

On top of the ventilated seats, sunroof, HUD...I will tell you what my KIA soul EV has over my model X. Accurate range display. The Kia tells you near exactly how much range you have left. The Tesla overestimates by. WHOPpING 35 to 45 per cent (2016 p90d). The Kia also has satellite radio...and it is often we do not have cell service, which makes streaming frustrating.

Would you really trade the panoramic front windshield for a sunroof? I think the presence of one excludes the other.

If you’re talking about the range remaining on the battery remaining gauge, change that over to percentage already. Use the energy graph combined with having your destination programmed into the Nav system when you need an accurate range prediction.

Kudos to Kia though. I think they make the most compelling BEVs for folks with a Model 3 budget, not a Model S/X budget. With Korea having both LG and Samsung as major battery and electronic suppliers, I could see Hyundai/Kia becoming the number 2 BEV manufacturer, after Tesla.

Wish that was true.

Biogen is on lockdown in Boston, RDU and one other location. This is a byproduct of a conference in Boston whereby someone brought the disease ( California based employee? ) and therefore 23 of 135 are known to date to have tested positive.

One of the employees got sick in the 1st but then proceeded to work in RDU from 2-5 and then flew back to Indiana while pretty sick.

Don’t know Biogen’s “work pressure” but clearly this employee should have stayed away. This ties to Karen’s worry that US employees will go to work while sick (my older son is a scientist and they also have “work pressure” to come in despite being sick).

Senior Mgt/HR have their head in the sand in this one.

Also, a couple of British citizens are “locked down” in Vietnam due to getting virus form someone who was on the flight (two rows ahead) and just had travelled from Milan.

Conclusion: still a risk to fly.

Amazing. From the name one might conclude that these are "professionals" when it comes to biohazards. And still ...
That's American work ethics, wut?

Berlin is famous for its no-holds-barred raves.

(My personal guess, formed in the 80'ies is that due to the city being mostly cutoff from any rural influence for a few decades, they developed a uniquely condensed city-culture there).

If you were holding July calls at 780 and 820 (call debit spreads so my cost is only about 2500 each) would you consider selling today, taking the loss, and using that capital to buy back in when/if SP drops again? Hypothetically of course as I'd never ask for advice.

Any employee who owns TSLA already has roller coaster access.

Kudos to Kia though. I think they make the second-most compelling BEVs for folks with a Model 3 budget, not a Model S/X budget.

FTFY

My family lived in the area when I was very young (Dad was in the Army) and he has often mentioned the Berlin nightclub/rave culture. This would have been very early 80s. I've spent time in Munchen as an adult, but haven't made it north yet.

So in this panel discussion the "expert" on Tesla claims that Tesla is going to have a "Real bad first quarter." But then states that Tesla is going to do so well after Q1 that people should buy it.
So then? If this guy is clueless about the particulars of Tesla for Q1 what is the value of his outlook for Q2? He believes Tesla is going to "recover from Q1"?

SP action feels a litte weak.
Could be a dead cat bounce.
Holding my core shares.
Producing vehicle 1 Mio and first deliivery of a Model Y are positives, no doubt, but macros don't seem to getting better right now.
They are shutting down Italy this can not be a good.
No panic here, just an observation.

Oh, blease. We all know...

 

[dl003]

I'd venture to say we'll see no real buying until P&D comes out, apart from that related to macros.
