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

[LN1_Casey]

Hard to get too excited about this run since NIO is up even more and GM isn't far behind. Doesn't seem as though this has anything to do with SpaceX success.

Eh, I'm happy if TSLA goes up regardless of other's success. +$40 is always a nice day!

Finally some defense at about 880.

Defense? That's a strange definition of "defense". Of course, I guess it depends upon which team you're on!

Too much information.

WOW! Not a good look.

Video of Tesla Model 3 crashing into a truck on Autopilot goes viral - Electrek

Imagine someone had passengers in that "robo taxi", imagine who they are going to sue.

Going to hit $900 today at this rate. Should have bought more @ $792 last week.

TSLA 1st hr report:

5.68m shares traded, SP $877.12​

Hard to get too excited about this run since NIO is up even more and GM isn't far behind. Doesn't seem as though this has anything to do with SpaceX success.

Dude, you think so SMALL! Tesla IS THE AUTO INDUSTRY now, and it's dragging those little fish along for the ride.

NIO Mkt Cap is 4.68 B; TSLA is 162.65B, or 35x larger by Mkt Cap.

Today, NIO's Mkt Cap is up by $260M, while TSLA is up $8.30B

That's pretty easy to get excited about.

EDIT: New intraday high at 10:45 hrs: $882.92 +$47.92 +5.74%

Cheers!

Car did better than the driver. AEB kicked on ~2 seconds before the crash (which suggests it was not in AP mode, or was overridden) and driver was uninjured.
Translation from article:

It is understood that the Tesla driver was unharmed. He confessed to the police that the auxiliary system was turned on at the time, and the self-driving state was not adopted.

You should be MORE excited if this is not temporary glow from SpaceX.

What are they going to sue for? There were no injuries. This is a testament to how safe the Model 3 is.

It looks like the driver hit the brake and then proceeded to freak out and not brake. This kind of idiotic driving happens ALL the time because people are not good under stress. They were probably so distracted before they noticed there was a large truck in their lane they just froze up when they saw it.

The real takeaway here is $TSLAQ has lost the ability to crash the share price with this kind of "hit" story. These accidents happen in other brands all the time but they generally don't make the headlines.

I see what you did there.

"...the self-driving state was not adopted" states the article.

Full quote:

I'm not sure how to interpret that.

 

[StealthP3D]

Car did better than the driver. AEB kicked on ~2 seconds before the crash (which suggests it was not in AP mode, or was overridden) and driver was uninjured.

Its obvious Autopilot was not being used by inspecting the video. Near the beginning of the video, the car nearly crosses the passenger side lane line (even though there is another vehicle in the adjacent lane) and, for the duration of the video, the Model 3 hugs that lane line, something that Autopilot would never do (it is programmed to stay centered in the lane).

So, what we have here, is some good old fashioned driver inattention. It happens thousands of time every day, kills thousands every year, and only makes the news if it's a Tesla. So we get some free advertising showing how safe the Model 3 is. Look at how far that truck jumps on impact! And the driver had not a scratch!

My guess is standard TACC was on by default but not EAP. Tesla probably already has the logs on this but would be nice to know for certain. I thought though that emergency braking was a standard feature and not part of EAP. Is that not the case? I've never had a close enough call to know if emergency braking will kick in with or without EAP engaged.
OT anyway especially during trading hours. May want to migrate here.

Choices, actions, are not binary.

Elon Musk says it's 'not right' that the other three officers involved in George Floyd's death haven't been charged

Elon lending his voice to justice is the right thing to do. Well done Elon.

On Topic.

Solid up day after a period of consolidation, breaking out above the upper-BB on the daily chart. Wouldn't be surprised to see this thing re-test ATH in the coming weeks.

I know I put a sale order in at $954 a month back for my planned sell strategy for my model S, so it'll probably brush by 940 and float back down, haha.

Good question

I look across a lot of different sources now, when before I could just come on this thread and get very detailed information very quickly. Plenty of good (and not so good) YouTubers and podcasts etc. But the great thing about this forum is that it is way more reactive during market trading hours

I don't want to put the forum down too much. I still enjoy coming here and like reading everyone's comments, but the level of analysis isn't like it once was.

If you think there’s a problem, how about doing something productive about it, instead of just complaining? In this case you’re complaining about a lack of high quality analysis but I don’t see you adding any high quality analysis.

What a shame you have to actually do the work now instead of someone neatly packaging it for you.

Karen has a Twitter account, maybe check in there.

Somewhat OT

SpaceX Makes History, HBO Max, Fintech, Renewables, and more...

From ARK newsletter

"...the price of a seat on the Russian Soyuz rocket has more than doubled from roughly $40 million to $90 million in 2020, as shown below. Apparently, SpaceX has cut the cost nearly in half to roughly $55 million."

Some news regarding the debate a day or two ago about teslas prospects for storage business in the UK:

UK’s Largest Solar Project Approved, Will Snub Government Subsidies

UK largest solar is going from 70MW to 350MW.

Cleve Hill has proposed up to 700 megawatt-hours of storage capacity, via a containerized lithium-ion system.
