Have I forgotten how to count?

1. Fremont, CA
2. Sparks, NV
3. Austin, TX

And even that is ignoring Buffalo, NY, which does solar panels, not vehicles, but still.

Maybe Texit is happening?

Eventually we are going to learn why $1500 is such a magic number.

But it isn't. Maybe they are good enough to meet the "norm" for US cosmetic quality now, but there are significant issues with both shoddy paint finish and poor panel alignment on a significant minority of cars we are getting over here. I make a point of looking around the Tesla's I see around and although most are OK, some really aren't. It's probably as much a local PDI issue, but the cars wouldn't need PDI panel re-alignment if they all came out the factory right!

I'm long TSLA with a significant holding since 2012 and an absolute fanboy so I don't say this with any bad intent.

I always hear this but out of the hundred or so owners I have personally met I don't hear those complaints. Always room for improvement of course.

"Thank you for flying SpaceX." This week is the SpaceX bounce for TSLA. This is most certainly a pattern. SpaceX brings more credibility to Tesla by the masses.
Next manned SpaceX launch is Crew-1, four astronauts to ISS via Dragon capsule (seats up to seven), scheduled for late September. This is another positive event to look forward to, among many, that Tesla investors should have marked on their calendars.

It won't be long until space travel is commonplace.
SpaceX also offers commercial flights for private passengers to both Earth and Lunar orbit.

Wasn't there some confusion yesterday from an article stating "200,000 Cybertruck orders?" In this podcast (part 2) Elon said: "We've had several hundred thousand people place orders for the Cybertruck". So it seems his words may have been taken out of context, he certainly didn't say "200,000" and his choice of words suggests it's more than that!

He was quoted as saying "over 200,000" Cybertruck orders. Which, of course, would include any number above 200,000.

Ferrari has a plug-in hybrid. Actually, 2 - both are over $1Million and both are sold out: Ferrari 2020 Model List: Current Lineup, Prices, & Reviews The cheapest Ferrari is the Portofino, at $215K. I read somewhere that the average profit per vehicle is close to $100K.

Until Tesla wins an F1 race, Ferrari will maintain its mystique. The limited-edition million-dollar versions are rolling advertisements that you're in the "3 comma club." Even if the doors sometimes open "normally."

But will they buy their next Ferrari on their Vertu?

 

[ZeApelido]

Tesla is known for expensive cars, if they begin making a cheaper one, they should advertise this small mass market car.

They should just make a new brand for the cheaper cars and call it StoolAntics

 

[YAWD]

Like the Roadster is a cheap hypercar ;-)

Isn't this true for entire Tesla's line up? Tesla cars makes performance affordable. The price paid per horsepower is significantly lower for Teslas than ICE cars. Think in terms for $/HP. Model 3/Y allows people buying $50K cars to get performance of $100K gas cars. Similarly for Model S/X. As you rightly pointed out, Roadster will allow people buying $200K cars to experience performance for $1M cars

"Thank you for flying SpaceX."

I can't believe they got that in and missed on adding "... and we are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future"

Court Ruling Clears Way For Energy Storage On The Grid. Who Benefits?
A federal appeals court has cleared the way for large-scale energy storage projects to have similar access to the power grid as electric generators do

LOL 1500 is sooooo annoying onyon the way up yet so comforting when we retest the 1400 lows.

Can't have your cake and eat it too!

MUST BREAKTHROUGH THIS 1500 RESISTANCE!

View attachment 571954

$1499 SP is so boring!!
For visualization purposes, I've included the "I'm bored" Elon face.

 

[Lycanthrope]

TBH, looks like it wants to back above $1600 and would do very quickly if they stopped suppressing it or some big buyer came along who's not in on the game.

I think we can be pretty certain that there's not much front-running going on. Everyone's waiting.

 

[Bk_J]

Any Value Investors in TSLA?

 

[Joesantelli]

1505 could this finally be the breakthrough for the 100000th time

 

[StealthP3D]

Any Value Investors in TSLA?

All of us!

Show me a stonk that's a better value!

SpaceX ticket sales go up 100% in 3 months. Nice.

My end of day price target is 1550 what's your guess?

[TheTalkingMule]

My end of day price target is 1550 what's your guess?

We're clearly gonna be pegged to $1500 until either there's an inclusion announcement or someone tries to get an early jump. I'd say this is a great chance to buy LEAPs or even Nov calls, but who the hell wants to pay these premiums?

My guess today......$1501.69
