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

[Todd Burch]

Volume's better today, but still well below average. Wouldn't be surprised to see another walkdown today.

Elon Musk mentions Tesla electric bus in tweet but quickly deletes it - Electrek


I'm certainly not going to share a commute with strangers. Hard pass.

Trouble is, so many people in built up areas have to pay a lot of money to commute jam packed in trains - google London Underground/Tube in rush hour images. All the time, you're breathing in PM 2.5 at a high rate (Now You Know used PM meter 2.5/10). travelling by car is not a practical option.

I've seen fights to get on to trains in UK, I've seen people pushed out of trains. I've had to use my body to stop a small child getting crushed when the train braked. His Dad couldn't find a space near him but the alternative for them was not getting home that night.

After Covid, small vehicles with air filters, UV cleaning between different passengers seems like a great idea. If TBC can cheaply dig tunnels to increase capacity, add more cars in staging areas and just have point to point travel rather than stop-start-stations, the experience will be much better. I really think this can take off. I look forward to above ground being for pedestrians and some cyclists with underground being most of everything else (including some cycleways).

Nobody, including other analysts and the market itself, gives a care what he thinks. Why should we? At some point, clown shows become stupid instead of entertaining.

When I say "Gordo", I was in fact referring to the broad spectrum of idiots we have to deal with

 

[UkNorthampton]

First BMW with the i8 hybrid faking V8 sounds to drown out its pathetic 3 cylinder motorcycle engine sounds,
now Audi with its "innovative" fake sounds.

Come on, legacy car makers! Who is going to offer the first car with fake horse neighing sounds as it drives ???
I swear I buy one if somebody releases a car with fake horse neighing sound.

I actually want the slow speed pedestrian warning to be the clip-clop of horseshoes. Possibly with a backup of Steptoe and Son themetune. ICE will be forgotten soon enough.

 

[M|S|M MYP]

I care what Gordo thinks I actually look forward to his next interview.

He is such an idiot and crook. It's important (fun) to keep an eye on him.

All kidding aside I think he's on some kind of drugs and he's paid by either the car Companies or the oil companies.
He can't really believe that Tesla stock is worth $19

His new PT is $15 after battery day and lack of EU demand

How popular is the ringtone ‘legacy phone’ on current smartphones? IDK, but still hear it a lot. Or the factory installed ringtone, but that’s another discussion.

Clip-clop of coconuts, mimicking horseshoes, you mean.

Looking at the latest flyover from Fremont. Do we know that it's not Tesla doing some groundwork on the lots across the street where the new casting machines are?

If nothing else Tesla sure could use some extra parking space.

yeah we need to tell Elon...NOT!

If anyhting we need to..
"Git the 'ell outta Cali."

Looks to be 1/3 of avgerage volume currently a 1/3 way through the trading day... so looking good!?

- I'm loving this long-overdue climb -

 

[lafrisbee]

Aren't we above our pre-split max now?

 

[humbaba]

Clip-clop of coconuts, mimicking horseshoes, you mean.

What we need is a sound engineer so that the cadence properly scales with velocity and to tune the reverb from the coconuts to sublime delicacy. With further integration into the driving system it would seamlessly switch to a whinny and "woah, nelly" where the "woah" is drawn out appropriately for the projected duration of a a deceleration, concluding with the "nelly" as it pulls up to the stop. Totally worth a $1.6M investment

edit: maybe the /s tag isn't optional here. So, there, explicit

Wow, Steptoe and Son joke! Not sure how many non-UK readers will get that reference (but it did make me smile)

 

[Ipe]

So is this finally the breakout everyone has been predicting? Please let it be so

We don’t need a breakout! All we need is a daily rise of 0.1611%, which will bring us 5x in 5 years (and 25x in ten years for that matter).

Lucid Motors unveils a $69,900 version of its long-range, luxury electric sedan

possibly in response to Model S price drops from earlier this week?

 

[Artful Dodger]

Is it 'hammer-time'? Upper-BB was $464.37 at 10:00 AM

Yep, TSLA kissed that Upper-BB at 465.54 around 11:44 AM

Now let's see if buying interest overcomes selling pressure...

EDIT: /S

Another little anecdote from me illustrating the power or cult of Tesla. I took my Model 3 to the Tesla depot to have a couple of small things done. (by the way the staff in the showroom are young and cool, the opposite of a normal dealership) and driving home I went past 3 schoolboys, about 11 years old. They stopped walking and waved at my car and shouted over. They were excited to see a Tesla! Honestly that just doesn't happen with other family saloon cars.

Benzinga - yesterday: Elon Musk, SpaceX Will Be Focus Of HBO Miniseries

Even though the focus will be on SpaceX, we might assume that Tesla will get significant mention.

We are ~35% thru the trading day, ~33-34% of daily volume so far. But typically highest trading volume is the first hour or so--you can't linearly extrapolate the first few hours of volume thru the rest of the day. Having said that, if this climbing continues we may see volume pick up.

More likely that once they revealed their pricing and trims, reservations were being cancelled left and right.

yeaaaah? the 1/3rd thing doesn't translate. TSLA usually does the majority of its transactions in the first 2 hours. So a 1/3rd to a 1/3rd isn't truthful.
