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

[wipster]

Would it make sense for a 5:1 or 10:1 split now to take us to a $150-$300 SP?

I think it would personally Tes, but Elon said it would be a topic of discussion during the Shareholders meeting, so keep your fingers crossed. Besides it's been discussed quite a lot earlier in this thread. There may actually be a new thread specifically on stock splits somewhere in the forum.

Would someone show this gentleman the door?

You get bonus points for not mentioning Apple and Tesla in the same sentence as I have just done, but it’s not a lot of bonus points.

Top 5 rehashed topics - in no particular order

1. Apple going to buy Tesla, Do we want Apple to buy Tesla, Apple should buy Tesla.
2. When we getting our dividends, bro?
3. Tesla service sucks balls!
4. Stock split? Bueller?
5. Why TSLA SP, up, down, crashed, melted, imploded, exploded, self-mutilated, tanked, etc., etc.

6. When is the S&P inclusion? and if it happens...willl the stock go up?

6. When is the S&P inclusion? and if it happens...willl the stock go up?

That one can’t make any list yet. Criteria requires the discussion to reoccur over a span of several years. Wait until S&P turns Tesla down and then a few years later Elon turns S&P down. Then we’ll talk.

 

[Mike Smith]

When a value stock joins the S&P its SP doesn't change much because it's true value hasn't changed. TSLA on the other hand is largely valued by supply and demand. Nobody knows what its true value should be.

The demand for TSLA is currently artificially low due to it not being in the S&P. When it is added this will be corrected and the SP will rise permanently.

Electrek - 4 hours ago: Tesla is going to build 'completely new batteries' at Gigafactory Berlin, German official says - Electrek

Sigh... almost 2 months to wait for Battery Day. I don't know how I'm going to be able to wait that long! Maybe I'll just go into quarantine somewhere...

Or....you could just sleep for 18 hours/day...battery day will be here real quick if you do that.

Demand issues you say?...hmm....interesting you think there are DEMAND issues.
I said it twice...should bring a cat around.

 

[Todd Burch]

I heard he had scheduled a double colonoscopy.

I know. I ran into the room where they were conducting the procedure and told Dodger:

“It’s woorrrrrking!!!!”

He looked uncomfortable.

You know, at this point I don’t even care what they do or do not show. The speculation is so overbought right now, I just want it to be over so we can obsess over something new.

It only makes me richer and therefore more difficult to defeat.

I'm praying to the heavens that a refreshed Model S is there(and thus we can assume an updated X will follow too)......not because I think a refreshed Model S is that important........but because the speculation over the refresh can finally end already. It's been 2 years of rumor/speculation. 2 years of people I know asking when the refresh is gonna happen. I'm so over it

 

[wipster]

Worth a try! See you about noon tomorrow!

I'm going to visit family for the first 2 weeks of Sept. I'm definitely doing the trip to see family.....but I timed it so that it makes Sept fly by more quickly

Just a quick after-hours reminder about the big picture, and one of the reasons I am so proud to invest in Tesla, and so appalled that there are those looking to tear it down just to make a quick buck:

https://twitter.com/climate/status/1287844193315033094

By the end of Summer 2019 the Arctic ice cap had shrunk to a record low since satellite monitoring started in 1979 and the first ice-free summer could happen by the middle of the century

https://twitter.com/climate/status/1287844200852197378

The shrinking ice cap accelerates warming globally, and that melting ice in turn leads to rising sea levels potentially exposing millions of people to flooding

If it makes you feel better Cherry, where I live we’re on track for the hottest July in recorded history. So there is that .

Go Team!

I think we need to worry more about Godzilla, judging by the colour of those ponds (toxic waste?).

In Europe environmental laws are so strict it would be impossible to just fill those ponds with sand, as they are doing here. The water would first have to be pumped out and any contaminated soil dug up.

Not sure if anyone has responded with this nugget, but Trump recently removed the requirements for "environmental impact study" and other things which might actually have obliged Tesla to go into some "site investigation phase" to see if there might be environmental problems. Across Austin on the other side of town there was a debacle in the late 80's/early 90's with real-estate developers whose plans turned out to be a threat to rare salamanders - and it was successfully defended by environmentalists, so they had to retreat from that area. Barton Springs Salamander | AustinTexas.gov

There is no way Tesla could have carried out full investigations, given the timeline we've all been following. So if there are "bats" or whatever else out there... they are getting steamrolled!

I would expect Elon to exceed Federal requirements, though.

I’m obviously unconcerned with looks or stigma.

I have to be concerned with reliability because Tesla NY service has a really poor track record with people I know. And I plan on taking the Cyber off road into the woods. I might need the Cyberquad as an escape vehicle if I get stuck, or increase the size of the battery pack in my 6x6 to get me back to civilization.
