Update: I stopped by yesterday at the Electrify America chargers at the local Walmart. Unfortunately the guy working there had just finished hiding the Tesla logo on the batteries installed there. You can still see the Tesla red. He said they aren't "Powerpacks" but they are Tesla BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems).There is construction going on at the Electrify America chargers at our local Walmart (Albany NY). I spoke to the guy in charge of the work and he told me they are installing Tesla Powerpacks (he called them BESS - Battery Energy Storage System). The idea is to charge the Powerpacks overnight when electricity is cheap, then use them to charge EVs (mostly non-Tesla) through the Electrify America chargers. I wonder how widespread this is?
I will swing by next week to try to get pics after the Powerpacks are installed.
I might get some disagrees but AJ isn't too bad. He's proven to be just a bit slimy as opposed to clueless.Who is the least terrible Tesla bear right now? Want to hear a decent bear thesis. No “electronic vehicles” or “couldn’t find any production goals for Tesla”.
I bought a decent chunk of $TSLA at $344 last year
Yay! I’m so happy
Wah! Why didn’t I buy moooore
How many of y’all can relate?
Instead of putting $200k on TSLA in 2013, I bought a nail salon and I don't even do nails.I bought a decent chunk of $TSLA at $344 last year

He said they hide the Tesla logo because Electrify America (VW) doesn't want to publicize the fact they are using Tesla batteries. He said they are doing this "all over the place". The goal is 400 locations by year's end. I think he meant across the US.
He's from the NYC area, 150 miles from here. He was driving a Black Model S with chrome delete. I didn't get a pic.

I made the exact same point about Q3 but that was when TSLA was sitting between $1500-$1600. At over $2200, we'll see.Your response is exactly what I'm talking about. That's what I'm banking on. Q2 results were outstanding...... but again Tesla's potential was masked because of Covid, which limited production from taking that next leg up. Production was largely even from Q1, Q2, Q2/Q3/Q4(2019) where production has been in this range of 90k-110k per quarter. Tesla did an amazing job continuing to leverage operations and continue efficiency gains during Q1 and Q2 this year(which is why I call Q1/Q2 earnings outstanding), but if you're just looking at the quick figures(which Wall st and investors mostly do), you're seeing a company that's making strides but not fundamentally taking a next level stage in it's growth and it's earnings potential/power.
What Q3 represents is that substantial next level step of production that will unlock that earnings potential/power. Practically every analyst, even the bullish ones, are underestimating Q3 and Q4 this year.
Battery Day I have no opinion of when it comes to stock action and what will happen.
That's volume, not open-interest, volume being the number of trades, OI being the number of open contacts. This is the OI:

You just really like having yours done?Instead of putting $200k on TSLA in 2013, I bought a nail salon and I don't even do nails.
I think it's a scientific fact that some human brains are not fully developed until 25 year of age. I'm a prime example of that.You just really like having yours done?
It starts getting harder to breakout growth drivers, but this is great. If it were in Excel or Google docs, you could create bear case scenarios by site or vehicle. I’m not asking or criticizing, just noting the format. I do think there are two other growth engines, with the Semi beginning to scale up and energy likely up over 100% next year. Solar and batteries are both on track for 100% growth and GWh battery sites going up. If we do grow over 100% in 2021, the discounted value of TSLA will only need 30-35% growth to justify the current valuation. Barring COVID 2.0 or some other global disaster, I don’t see growth below 50% on average until 2027.
Great post.
It depends on what you mean by "rather insignificant" I guess. Admittedly the dollar value of it will be smaller, as it is still a fixed percentage of a fund that had decreased in value (I think? Or did it just underperform the rest of the market?) But the psychological significance has to be weighing on him.TLDR: Chanos has already lost more money than he could ever make back on shorting TSLA and he already covered most (~90%) of his shorts, so his position is rather insignificant now.

I guess you can call that volunteering at some point!Going to work tonight. Doesn't happen to often these days after Covid hit. I'll make about 1/5 of what I've made from Tesla every single day for the last year on average. Good thing I really enjoy my work.
I learned earlier this year you can buy cheap puts (that will expire worthless) to increase your margin and prevent margin calls. That might explain some of the red spikes. I spent literally $5 on a put contract to increase my margin by about $15,000.Just curious, the green spike on the far right is what, calls bought by shorts to limit losses in case of a spike-squeeze? And then what's the red spike on the far left all about? Kinda crazy to hold puts at 180 strike.
