I'll be very cross with you if the answer isn't "in the next 5 minutes".I bet Tesla sells a few Roadsters this weekend.
As well as S3XY, Cybertruck, Solar Panels, Solar Roofs...
Q3 will be incredible.
My wife and I will be discussing when to upgrade her RAV4 Hybrid to a Model Y
I assume that's because she expects a big bump in the near term. Aside from rebalancing she has been quite clear about selling when it's up and buying back in on drops because it's a volatile stock.

Cheers!
Just want ability to reply pos or neg. I’ve been following for almost a year now. Cool people.
A few years back...
Me: "My dear wife, we've done well with our $TSLA investment, we've gone from $70k to $140k, but things are getting rough with the M3 ramp and the short sellers, and this, and that, OK, maybe we lose it all"
Wife: "It's OK, it was a gamble anyway. It's late, come to bed" *
Now:
Me: "Hey, we finished the day with $1,035,000!!"
Wife: "OK, so come to bed then" *
* it's 22:50 here now, so this is not a "hey sexy, let's do it!" kind of scenario...

Jim Cramer just discussed high stock prices (TSLA, AMZN, SHOP) and why they don’t split anymore. According to Cramer, big institutional investors don’t want to pay higher per-share trading fees after a split. Says fractional shares are the answer.
Have to admit that before all the split discussion over the last couple days, I was on the no-split side. But I've now been convinced that a split is probably a net positive.

Of course Cramer's advice was mainly for novice investors with minimal savings, not so much for Tesla, Inc. Actually, he's provided another good argument for a TSLA stock split, as you may have suspected.
Those hedge funds that manipulatively swing trade TSLA throughout market sessions or as options are expiring, may have to look for more lucrative fodder, if fees for trading TSLA are greatly increased due to a significant stock split.
It also may inspire other institutions such as ARK to sit tight on all of their TSLA shares, rather than swing in and out at the peripheries.

Hmm, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. My broker charges $9.95 USD per trade, regardless of the number of shares traded. Shirley large 'tutes are using IB or similar with $1/trade fees.
The problem with a 10:1 share split is it effectively increases the cost of Options by 10x as well, since each Options contract represents 100 shares and has a fix cost at the brokerage. In my case, buying a $20/contract now means about 20 cents per share overhead to trade options. After a 10:1 split, that'd be equivalent to a fee of $2/share. Good for brokers, not so good for retail investors.
I think there's a middle ground, but I'm not sure what that is. 10x does seem like the most likely though for a number of reasons, doesn't it?
Cheers!

Disruption is hard.
OMG, you must be old, too! I remember seeing that in Philly on the first night it opened.
I read somewhere that there is lithium on Mars. Now I see how Tesla, SpaceX and Boring Company fit together!
I knew it was too good to be true....
Son: Dad, Tesla is at $1212
Me: Yeah..aren't you glad you invested your $$, instead of blowing it on something useless?
Son: Yeah...im so glad i did that
Me: Good job son...remember what i said...investing is a marathon and not a sprint
Son: I remember....so.....how much more does tesla have to go up before i can sell it and buy that new Playstation 5 coming out this holiday season?
Well PS5 will come with the ability to kill robot animals & dinosaurs with flaming arrows in post-apocalyptic San Francisco locations! You just have to agree with that!? Right?
edit: correct location

I have to admit Anton Wahlman works hard for his money.
Because Q2 sales for GM were down 34%, Toyota down 35%, Fiat Chrysler down 39%, etc. etc. (according to Loup Ventures), Anton was forced to hunt hither and yon in search of something to compare favorably to Tesla. But by God, he found it and Seeking Alpha published it.
TSLA: Tesla Unit Sales Fall 5% From Last Year, Unlike GM's Heavy-Duty Pickup Trucks

If I were to click on this treatise (which I didn't; all the wisdom is likely in the headline), I might comment to him that heavy-duty pickup trucks are one of the few markets where Tesla does not yet compete... and that in all markets where Tesla does compete, Tesla is killing GM, contrary to Anton's articles about Chevy Bolt before Model 3 was out of the gate.
But alas, Anton's finely honed cherrypicking skills, his boundless energy, and his total immunity to embarrassment, are too much for mere facts and logic. In 2030, Seeking Alpha will likely publish his articles such as:

I'm with Ark on this one - I see little in the way of headwinds between here and Q2 EC and there is still room to run even after that if we get a solidly profitable quarter. One tail risk is another factory shutdown pending California's COVID situation. Unlikely, but possible.
