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

[wipster]

Bought some stock today. Hope you are happy.

Well thanks for trying! Buy a bunch tomorrow!

 

[capster]

Better and better.

All my shares are above water again.

~279k shares at close to keep $TSLA below $360. That's quite a push, but all it did was force by less than a dollar. The manipulations, they grow weaker.

So.....What was the reason for the sharp rise in share price today?

Given there wasn’t obvious news that I’m seeing, perhaps it was someone large accumulating/covering?

Same! Feels good seeing an all green board after all this time!

5,200 pages and we're back where we started.

Took this as an opportunity to go back and read the first couple of pages from this thread.

Uncovered this time capsule: December 31st 2019 TSLA Share Price Office Pool

Looks like the median guess of $431-460 is actually a feasible value for December 31st, 2019.

my official Tesla truck prediction:

The Cybertruck is going to balance gyroscopically on a single gigantic wheel, and the passenger compartment will be at its center. it will have two hauling beds, one on each side of the passenger compartment. It has 4 rows (seats 11), and passengers enter the cabin via an all-glass bulletproof elevator. no steering wheel, dashboard, or screen. All imagery will be fed directly into the brains of the occupants via a wireless neurolink connection. No battery pack. All Cybertrucks will be powered wirelessly by energy bounced off of the ionosphere by an enormous Tesla Tower Elon has secretly constructed at the North Pole. Also supports playing MP3s via USB stick.

What, no FLAC support?

If Musk is going to Mordor, is he Frodo or Sam? And does this involve a ring somehow?

As long as he's not Boromir. Never be Sean Bean.

Sure seems that way. If only the short activity was reported we'd actually know. But I'm reasonably certain (what's that about Dunning-Kruger you say? Never heard of them) that there was more shorting into the close. If you had confidence the stock was over rated this wouldn't be a bad entry point.

 

[Artful Dodger]

Well, all those HF/traderbots were scooping up free money from da Shortzes since 3 pm. And fur wot? Don't they know, they can't stop Rock'n'Roll S3XY?

I expect some margin calls are going out right now...

Cheers!

Grid -> Transformer -> Cabinet -> Pedestal -> Vehicle

Transformers are big "boxy" things, generally shorter but wider than the cabinets, usually painted dark green. I'm pretty sure that they're the grid operator's responsibility.

Also, bigger transformers often have a lot of (cooling) oil in them, which can make transformer fires a lot worse.

While that is good news, I have to wonder if the fire official realizes that a Tesla Supercharger site consists of the actual charger stalls and nearby cabinets with power electronics - I admittedly don't know if these cabinets would fit the definition of an actual, classical transformer.

So for now, I would still not rule out that the fire was in a Tesla power cabinet.

Can anyone clarify?

Transformers are on the Utility side of the metre. It's the Utility's responsibility.

Everyone is capitulating on the appeal of the Cybertruck...it's obviously going to be great...

 

[CalX]

So you are saying that TSLA did a 360?

Not really but it did do a 180 since June to make 360, which is pretty amazing.

Could be the 600K expansion of tax credit

Transformer failures can be pretty catastrophic. I was working at The Planet in Dallas when the H1 datacenter in Houston suffered an outage from a transformer failure (we were told the utility was to blame for poor maintenance leading to the coolant oil leaking out, though the version of history that I recall being told as employee back then doesn't seem to 100% match any of the articles I can find from 2008) that TL;DR blew up the datacenter scale lead-acid UPSes and took out three walls of the power room (luckily nobody was in the room at the time, though more due to laziness and not starting the "premises patrol" check of all the things on time, if they had started on time they would have been in the room checking the UPS and other status readouts there when it happened). If the worst you get from a transformer failure is regular old fire, count yourself lucky.

 

[kengchang]

Dis is the big one of the transformer blowing up

There are tons of Bill proposals, few of which are actually passed.

Could be anticipation for the pickup truck event?

What, no FLAC support?

Read my mind Bio, WAV as well, and gotta do Hi Rez in FLAC, as well as Tidal and Amazon Music HD support.
