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

[Chocochip]

I’m seriously wondering if they’ll have to push the CC back because of this.

 

[Johann Koeber]

We are getting closer to the release of the report.

The is probably the worst delay yet, but they are always late, which I never understood. It's a little hard to believe they always keep writing the report till the last minute. Why isn't this always timed to release 5 minutes after the hour?

Here’s info on the group video chat I’ll be hosting in about an hour.

Topic: We’ll discuss the Q1 2019 TSLA Shareholder Letter prior to earnings call.

Time: Today (April 24) at 1pm PDT. Group video chat will last about an hour. We’ll hang out until Q1 shareholder letter is posted and discuss our thoughts.

Format: We’ll use Zoom which allows up to 100 people to participate. Everyone is free to to join. The group video chat might be recorded but depending on the quality of the video and discussion, I may or may not post the recording.

So lately we've got:

• Board shuffling
• Earlier than expected availability of SR
• Considering closing all retail
• Right before ER, there's Autonomy day and then S/X mini refresh
• Huge drop in S/X and sales

They are talking with someone about something that is material.

What and with whom ?

This reminds me of a couple of sayings I once read.

"nothing good comes to those who wait."
"patience is a villain"

Odd that its taking so long. I know Tesla goes their own way but it would be kind of nice if they could be a bit more like Microsoft or FB and just have the press release ready to go at 1:00PM. Doesn't seem like it would be too challenging, its nice to have time to read the letter and look at the figures before diving straight into the CC...

 

[Chocochip]

Oh, I got it: they’re waiting for this thread to reach page 2300! C’mon guys, post more crap, we can do it!

Edit: never mind, should have expected this post to actually end up on the next page… you guys make me so proud!

Very interesting how Tesla has managed this news cycle, including SpaceX activity. They have doing their best to bury the implications of the store closing. I wonder if they will take model Y pre-orders before releasing Q1 financials (which I assume aint pretty, especially with store closing writeoffs)

Q1 is likely another one of those quarters Tesla will trash to make the rest of the year look good.

just a few minutes more.....

 

[ZachShahan]

Hey Zach

That's better.

And was just responding to another '90s reference.

 

[Johann Koeber]

At least they are trying to calm us with the waiting music on the Webcast page.

Accounting rules don’t allow this.

This kind of long delay usually makes me feel uneasy. More instances of good news not being able to be contained.
