Great sense of shortenfreude realising that every "analyst" who tried to keep the share price down will now end up boosting it massively as they fall like skittles one-by-one and are forced to upgrade!

Eyeing sept 2021 options. 300 and 350s look really good. Not advice. Plenty of time to ride if we pull back

yeah, but it surely is a whole lot of it for what isn't even a big ticket day. Already had P&D, haven't even had ER announced yet. Not that I'm complaining
People are funny that way. They feel they missed the "top", what, three days ago, and so when a higher price is dangled in front of them they can't help themselves - they sell. It's a tragedy I've seen play over and over again with high-flying growth stocks. The bottom line is people are attached to money and they get nervous it might go down. Which is understandable if they need the money in the short-term just to live. In that case, they never should have been playing the market to begin with. But if it's a long-term investment in their future, this nervousness over the volatility of share prices is just ridiculous.

No bounce off $500? Dear lord that's strong!
OT: Today is "20th day Knut" -- after the almanac's name and time after Christmas -- when Swedes traditionally throw a party for kids in order to strip the tree and throw it out. Except we had none, and Daughter got a small potted spruce to re-use as it grows year by year. Green all over!

OK, I admit it, I have now made a laughable amount of profit from this stock, but TBH I have enough money already. I'm happy about recent stock price movements for three other reasons:
1) It shows there is some justice in the world. hard work by people at Tesla, and people prepared to invest in a responsible, sustainable tech for future transport are doing well, while cynical fossil-fuel-shills, trolls, and general ass-hats spreading FUD are losing a fortune, so ....karma is a bitch
2) Tesla is more stable now than they have been for a long time, and those employees who bought or were awarded stock are more likely to stay, and be motivated and keep fighting the good fight.
3) The 'don't buy a tesla, they are going bankrupt' bullshit becomes more and more unbelievable every day, which will likely be a totally-free driver of demand.
I know its common to hear people loudly proclaim that they like the cars and the tech and the company and they don't buy them for any environmental reason, but I absolutely do. Every car with a tesla badge rolling off the lines is another car thats not dependent on fossil fuels, and makes my retirement seem less dystopian. Yay.

Does anyone have a chart or any stats on the number of shares shorted in the last 3 months? I'm curious as to whether the back of this is broken or if they've been covering on the way up and shorting again.

I have no clue why anyone brings up Spiegel. It keeps people interested in him and promotes his twitter feed. He is insignificant and will get bored without any attention. He clearly does not tweet to make money but to get attention. More effective than TSLAQ blocks is ignoring him. Guess what if we don’t follow, mention and ignore he will get bored and go away. He has no influence or access to significant funds to influence stock price. You are all keeping him alivelots of selling keeping it a bit below $500, but right now I just don't care a whole lot. Maybe its from setting a new all time high, maybe its because of Speigel's alleged loss on a new short position, maybe its the fact that they can't keep a good stock down (currently peeking above $500 again)
People can't help staring at a train wreck.

This should actually be accurate, unlike Ihor's methodology.

I bought everything I could when it was low, but by $190 I was tapped out. Not that I have enough shares to retire even if it goes up to $6k, but its (a lot) better than nothing.
But as I may be a bit heavy in $TSLA I put the new year money into diversification. The upside is that should the unthinkable happen and $TSLA drop significantly again I will have resources to buy more. But for now I'm down to ~88% $TSLA. Though with the growth the percentage keeps climbing
