Please Dodger, let's avoid the inflammatory language which is a form of personal attack.
Options become available for trading at different times in advance.
Long-term equity anticipation securities (LEAPS) are issued quarterly, a bit over two years in advance, so the furthest out at the moment is June 2022. September 2022 should come out soon, for TSLA... I'm not sure if it's the same for all companies; Jan/Mar/Jun/Sep. They're just standard options but far enough in advance that they can become long-term capital gains in their own right. Expiry is always 3rd Friday of the month. These are the famous "triple witching" dates, when lots of things expire all at once, and manipulation is at its highest.
Monthly options become available about 8 months in advance, for the months that didn't already have LEAPS. Currently December 2020 is the furthest out. These also expire on 3rd Friday of the month.
Weekly options become available about 8 weeks in advance.
So, unsurprisingly, there are a lot more outstanding options across a wider range for the ones that have been available longer.

It looks like you have to be a SeekingAlpha subscriber to see that.
Wait a minute...don't tell me YOU are a SA subscriber?

I'm tempted to take a drive, check this site out and snap some photos but others will save me the trouble.
Near the end, this guy says the land area discussed is double the area of Giga Berlin.

Uncle Jack Rickard makes some comments about Solar, Batteries, and economies of scale in his latest video: "EVTV - New Project - 30kW High Voltage DC Smart Inverter - progress on Tesla Model 3 Batteries."
Start watching from about [1:21:18] (optionally, set playback speed to 1.25x). Imma quote the section on Bty Day from [1:24:45] because IMHO Jack nails it:

"I think you're gonna see some surprising things and be made to look very foolish on some of your prognostications into the future. But I do expect some cool stuff to come out of it.
"One of the issues I don't think people have grasped is that when Elon musk announced the Gigafactory what he was saying was with the building of one building I'm going to double the world's output of lithium batteries.
"Well several years have gone by, and it's no longer half the output of the world supply. Batteries have become kind of a big business. But it has become apparent to him in a way I don't think it has to you that he doesn't need a gigawatt of batteries, he doesn't need a terawatt of batteries, he needs several terawatts of batteries, and he needs them kind of right now.
"To do everything he is planning on, with the cars, with the power walls, with the rooftops, with the semi-truck, and with utility grid storage, utility grade, utility scale grid storage.
"There's not enough batteries in the world again and he has to figure out a way to make batteries faster, cheaper and more quickly than you can imagine. And this is what's keeping him awake at night, is where do I get a terawatt of batteries like by the Fourth of July? And that's the pressure he's feeling. He doesn't really need it by the Forth of July, but he thinks he does and so it's gonna be kind of interesting to see that coming battery day.
"I'm gonna leave you with my favorite commercial: At some point some, somebody does have a better idea."

Sorry Dodger, I misread Lars as liars. My bad. Very bad. There has been so much snippiness lately.
Haha, as long as it wasn't LARTs.

TeslaCharts then says: (about 9:30 in)
"TSLAQ is the product of experts in their own particular field that Elon has waded into. ... The realization happens when you know something inside out, Elon comes into your field, makes what I believe are knowingly outrageous and most likely false statements, that you know in the moment are false, and then he ridicules you for not having thought of them."
Once you've had that Realization, in any particular field, you can't look at him the same way after that."
TC then goes on about the solar roof reveal, in which he (TC) just knew the product was false, and which was confirmed in a FastCompany article later.
Congratulations! You've been nominated by TMC members to go drive over there and take lots of photos. Climb over fences if you must.
Today or tomorrow would be great.
Hey I love if Tesla positively surprises us like that (would make some sense of hinting they could do Battery Day in Texas).
But if so I'm curious why it is so stealth?
Lots of semi-informed speculation about Austin site here:
Possible Texas Cybertruck/Terafactory - Hutto, TX just Northeast of Austin. Location finished runner up for Giga 1 and has access to two railroads. Seems like an obvious choice. : TeslaLounge

Exact same site as the Reddit post, but sounds like the same source, too. So not necessarily confirmation.

Does anyone have access to this article? Im guessing it will just say Tesla was too far ahead to catch.

They had already sold ~90% of their holdings prior to Q1. Price T Rowe used to hold 16M TSLA shares in late 2018, but owned <2M at the end of 2019.
