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

[Rarity]

I do not disagree with Elon's statements, there are no difference of opinion. I disagree with those who place words in his mouth like 400 or 500 Wh/kg is sufficient for supersonic transcontinental eVTOL. He never said that, he was referring to "normal" electric aircraft.

Honestly, it's hard to avoid a debater's argument with you, because you are doing exactly what you say that others are wrongly doing: putting words in Musk's mouth.

But I get it. Your calculations say that supersonic travel is 3x (or whatever) energy-intense versus subsonic travel. So you infer what he must have meant.

Tesla gets approval for next construction phase for Giga Berlin

"On August 17, the Brandenburg State Office for the Environment approved the early start of Tesla’s next construction phase for its European production facility. Construction crews on the site can now begin driving piles as a part of the continuing foundational work."​

Are they flying them in from AZ, due to the standstill of construction work at the NKLA factory?

Go on, you know you want to

ATH!

 

[TheTalkingMule]

Vicious price action today, and the volume's not even that crazy high!

 

[Tslynk67]

Yah, new intraday ATH!

 

[Blue horseshoe]

Ath

 

[M|S|M MYP]

Ironic that they held it in a HONDA building parking lot

 

[Artful Dodger]

Woot, there it is: new intraday ATH: $1,796.81

Cheers!

You’re watching the ticker without pants again?

It's been 100 degrees 3 days in a row here, and no AC. Who says I am wearing anything?

 

[Nocturnal]

So....Softbank invested as much as $TSLA has made all of us on this board...hahahaha Don't we wish.

I'd give that even odds TBH.

Buying in at IPO was a truly incredible decision. I wish I had been an investor back then. 100 bagger is insane. Heck, I'm at a 6 bagger and that has been life changing.

It would have been awesome to 100x. But there is no way I would have put as much money in then as I did in 2018/2019 either. So I'm not sure if the risk/reward was better at IPO than June 2019.

Adam Jonas, a day year late, and a dollar billion dollars short.

He is a slow learner. But at least now he understand that batteries are good for business. Even if he don't quite get the rest of it.

He can get a lollipop. But hold the cake until he really gets Tesla. Problem is - he don't get that he don't get it.

You have to give him kudos for thinking out of the box to find billions of additional market cap for Tesla to justify these ridiculous valuations ... but what I don’t understand, why not first think inside the box

Also, he’s putting words in Elon’s mouth that Elon never said. Tesla stock price is overvalued? Elon never said that, he said Tesla stock price is too high, and by that he meant too high for the small retail investor to buy. And, is fixing it with a 5:1 stock split.

I think June 2019 was the best risk / reward play in Tesla's history. But I did not quite have the balls to buy more. Already had 100% in unless I dug around and added more to my investment accounts.

Hindsight is 20/20 my guy. Don't beat yourself up - 100% is more than sufficiently bullish for any sane person. Problem is, this board is not full of sane ppl.
