I hold several Jul-31, Aug, and Sep calls.
Are options expected to move upward if the stock moves upward in the next few days?
Or, is IV expected to still stay low even if stock moves upward?
Could just be a new batch of shorts who are convinced Tesla can't make a profit without Zev credits. Same thing happened last earnings where we massively dip the day after earnings due to the same reason. Can't wait for q3 where we can squash all this nonsense...again.
These new shorts are going to get a rude awakening in Q3 when Tesla actually has a full quarter of production. LOL they are so delusional, but it's great because I keep taking their money!

You can think of “events”, eg ERs, investor days, P&D announcements, etc as adding the most volatility. Once those are crossed and become “known,” IV drops. If you don’t have a big rise in share price to offset the IV drop, your option contract depreciates significantly.
@Pezpunk Reminded us at least twice that this was exactly what happened for Q1 earnings. Congrats to those who devised and executed a plan to take advantage of this predictable SP movement.
