I told her to keep her eye on the share price and if it gets to $700 we might be in business
I think it depends on the person. Having sold the covered calls then watch the SP rocket up caused me anxiety that the price will continue to rise above my strike and triggered a panic buy back of my call, thus inducing a loss. My conclusion (for me) is that the small premiums are not worthwhile , except for a bit of fun (e.g. two weeks out CC strike price at 90%-100% above current SP when premium is enough to buy one or two more shares (for a small number of CC contracts.) If TSLA doubles in two weeks then I am not crying for losing my shares.
Is anyone else really annoyed that after the IOS14 update, the stock widget app no longer shows the real-time prices? So now I have to tap to launch the stocks app, and then when you swipe up to close out of it, you’re back on the widgets screen and have to swipe back to the right to go back to your Home Screen. Need more TSLA Investors to be beta testers!

While we are on the topic of covered calls, I have a 1x2 ratio spread for Jan 21 at 600 and 800 strike. That is I have long 600 and twice as many short 800 calls.
This position nets you ~$8 (800) in cash per contract. This is effectively like selling a call at 1000, but between 600 and 800, you get additional deltas.
This is a twist on selling covered calls, which gives you an additional kick if the stock is below the effective strike (1000) and above your long call (600) at expiry. As always, it may or may not be the best idea to hold these until expiry.
The key here is there's pretty high skew ( options father out have higher IVs) and this is a way to profit from it.
Here's an example of what the overlay does to your long stock position.
As always, selling calls is risky. Not advice!

Hey.. SPadival, I follow you on Twitter and love your tweets.
I tried that too but the quotes don’t update in real-time like before! Us TSLA addicts need to know every price changes!
Oh snap! I did that change near market close and was glued to ThinkorSwim all day so didn’t notice the lack of real time. I’m sure it’s a bug that’ll be fixed soon. Apple really really likes to include bugs in final gold master releases as of late. Sigh.

Amazing new video from Austin. There must be bonuses to finish early. it the pace has anything do to with battery day, it is going to be insane. Tesla is on track to quadruple in the next 18 months. Elon has read Art of War.

That video does not any any way discus modeling margin or earnings. It does somewhat discuss The Semi and battery day but only in a hand wavy "I believe we will see news on battery day" sort of way.
OT: Not TSLA related but Tesla and $ related.
FYI: You can request a trade in value quote from Tesla and will receive it within 24 hours. You then have 7 days to apply that trade in credit value to a new order.
...just sayin.
This is from last month but I requested a new quote this afternoon.

The analysts with low price targets always claim Tesla events were disappointing because they need the share price to drop.

Here's a thing. Today I went to show my daughter my new Model 3. She's a chef in a local cafe so I went after the busy period. She came out of the kitchen with 2 other young girls who worked there, and an old bloke who works front of house. My daughter sat in the passenger seat and of course I did the fart thing. She thought it was hilarious and she tried out the other fart variations. She then opened the glove box by pressing the screen. I showed her the beach buggy game and the romantic mode and then put on the karaoke and she and her 2 colleagues sang along and danced (in a Liverpool suburb street) to Sweet Caroline. I video'd it. I then showed them the frunk. The old bloke looked confused and asked where does the oil go in
Later I put the video of the singing on Facebook and my daughter commented "Dad, I want this car for Christmas!".
Folks, we have 3 new young people converted to Tesla. They witnessed for the first time the future of cars. (I think the old bloke was a bit confused). This is the power of Tesla.
Never driven...?!
That money wasn’t lost. It just got a new owner.
Would you mind posting some examples? I feel this would be very welcome by option newbies like myself! Appreciate it in advance!

Here, go through this thread. Sell covered calls until exercises, then sell cash-covered puts until exercised, rinse-repeat.
Applying options strategy 'the wheel' to TSLA
Risks - big move up when you have covered calls, meaning you miss out on the gains had you held the stock. Big downward move when you've sold puts means you buy the shares at a higher price than market - this I don't consider a risk, it's the same impact as holding common shares, you just wait for it to come back into the same trading range (or sell the shares for cheap LEAPS if the dip is that big).
