CNBC has already started its daily Tesla bashing. They seem to be trying the dredge up some of the old FUD, including “fraud” and “unfulfilled promises.” They are making some positive statements, such as their technology is ahead of others. But, then it gets countered by a professor from Yale who has been on before bashing Tesla (who is referencing Chanos in a positive way). A CNBC contributor (Bethany McLean) is helping on the bashing side. Just another day . . ..

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

Yeah, this seems very likely to me too.
It didn't seem like any large sellers emerged all the way up till $950, and looking at your calculations net shares were added by longs on Monday and Tuesday at prices in between $650 and ~$900.
There also could've been an increase in short interest(and there definitely was an increase in PUT options), just like that Andrew Left guy who announced he went short on TSLA once again.
This will be interesting to watch. I bought a tiny amount of calls expiring next week after the dip yesterday. I might add on some more on Friday, although still small. I'm just not confident enough in short term predictions to wager much on them.
Thanks @ReflexFunds for your top notch analysis on the open interest and what it means for the volatility. It is hard to believe that we're setup for more volatile times.
The only saving grace of this circus is, at this point the old longs have seen everything. They have been thru fire, and what doesn't kill then only makes them stronger.

So, does the pattern suggest an evening star, or abandoned baby?

Yeah, if everybody keeps most or all of their investments focussed towards the long term, this is just temporary noise.
SIt back, enjoy the ride, and watch a once in a life time story unfold.

You can obviously tell this was photoshopped, since no Tesla will ever be that slow to get to 88MPH.

GTFO. (Day-1 concern troll w. 2 neg. posts)
There will be plenty of noise through Q1. Haven't sold a share and don't plan to. "Cost Basis Secured" months ago.

I suggest changing your screen name to something involving a goat or bird. Welcome, new forum member with 2 posts, both expressing concern about the stock! LOL.

Yup, shortzes still hoping to scare folks into dropping their catch.
Me? I'm long and strong, with $50K locked'n'loaded on the side line. GIVE ME A DEAL!
Shortzes can short themselves into the poor-house, and they won't get 1 single share from me on their way down in flames. And its a long way, buoys.
Cheers to the Longs!

Buying order set for 690, 680, 670, 660.
Hope it goes to 650 but very unlikely.
My target price is 1800 USD within 2 years

Make sure your broker cannot lend the shares, some have it as an option to disable this. some just do it (then you need another broker).Yup, shortzes still hoping to scare folks into dropping their catch.

Since Tesla started to charge for supercharger use the business case for opening up the network to others have changed. Having deals with other companies would make little sense. Tesla just could open the network for drivers of competing cars being able to high charge rate with an app. I highly doubt that Tesla will do that in the near future.
Superchargers are not profit center yet, they are small loss making marketing venture. So why lose mony on marketing competitors. Things will change. It will probably happen in 5-10 years.

Yeah, it's "Chill mode". That's why its icy cold when it comes out of the time warp.You can obviously tell this was photoshopped, since no Tesla will ever be that slow to get to 88MPH.
I suspect that some big money figured out the same thing and they will dampen the effect when they will attempt to exploit it.

Touché!
@Robbbin90, while of course you have a right to post whatever you want within the forum rules, a new member who just appeared during a stock downturn and has only posted concern about the stock is going to raise some eyebrows among the seasoned veterans here. If you are legitimately concerned and don't have alterior motives, be aware there's a history of this activity in an attempt to scare investors to sell. I'd suggest participating in some other threads first before coming to this thread to bring a little more legitimacy to your concerns.
Most of us have quite hefty balls of steel (even the ladies, lol) and have strong convictions about this company that scare tactics are not going to sway.

This won't necessarily dampen the effect, it could strengthen it while dragging the rally timing forward several hours.
