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

[Opus BC fan]

Today the share price increased just a little over my average cost basis per share.

Tesla been berry berry good to me...


(I miss those shares I sold about one month ago already...)

If that 254,059 was in 2012, it's very likely that it is even more in 2020
Maybe this is an opportunity for Tesla to release a Tesla mini van

Edit:

The US federal fleet consists of over 645,000 vehicles, according to the latest Federal Fleet Report. This includes 245k civilian vehicles, 173k military vehicles, and 225k post office vehicles.

President Biden will make entire 645k federal vehicle fleet electric - Electrek

hmmm? Up 4% at Monday CLOSE? Something funny is happening.

 

[Singuy]

So basically unless the other US automakers get their powertrain/batteries from an American company, looks like all the vehicles will be Tesla UNLESS they lobby a bunch of fake news into this. Biden pretty much up the requirements of what it means by American made, meaning the most important aspect of the car like powertrain must be American, and upping the amount of parts required to be more than 50% American vs being at least 50% before.

On paper this federal market is Tesla’s to dominate but unfortunately lobbying will mean it will be a rough ride.

 

[Artful Dodger]

Wednesday’s earnings report would be a good time to announce another stock split.

Lol, no. They have to release the 10-K first. Then split, damn rights.

 

[uujjj2]

Federal elected officials' financial disclosures are out. Some notable Tesla investors are among the ranks. Nancy Pelosi's family disclosed a stake in Tesla of 2500 shares worth over $2M.

 

[Nocturnal]

Thoughts on other EV stocks (that's a thing??) to play given the Biden deal would be good for this thread I think.

It won't be that bad. The government will bid out for X, only Tesla will be able to meet the needs. There will be some changes to let GM, Ford, and Chrysler get a taste to keep congress members in those states happy but even in the worst case this is a boon to Tesla. Biden is basically opening up an entirely new market. Not quite as large as the US or Chinese consumer market, but still massive.

Even a Model 3 is only 50% US/Canadian parts...

That may be from an old Monroney sticker, so the Model 3 could be more like the Model Y now: 55% US/Canadian parts.

Lol, no. They have to release the 10-K first. Then split, damn rights.

There needs to be a vote to do more than a 2:1.

So on Wednesday announce that the plan is to hold a vote.

In April? When the annual meeting is announced it will be on the agenda and brought back to every ones mind.

In June at the meeting everyone will vote for and that's a third time everyone get reminded.

Then announce a date for the split

Final date arrives and the split happens.

That's like 5 times the market and buyers are reminded of a split happening.

The share price will be at $2000 from this alone.

Edit: I'm assuming they can't just do some online vote.

Hold up here.. he could be talking about Chevy Bolts......


/s.

The sad part is, this might be true. Remember Biden’s “Buy American” rally. There were pickups from the “Big 3” behind him as well as a Chevy Bolt. Not a single Tesla.....

It really doesnt matter if the government just buys 645,000 EVs from Chevy and Ford. That means 645,000 government employees drive an EV all day. What car do you think they are going to buy for their own use once they get used to an EV?

It also means Chevy and Ford has 645,000 less EVs to sell to the people. Cause they would run out of batteries. Guess what brand regular customers that pays full price will have to buy then?

Buy a gas car when their Ford/Chevy cars give them a trashy experience, especially with the lack of charging and range.

For any new here on TMC, or old timers as well. Articles/megaposts by DaveT is an absolute must read. All of the them. Very insightful. Thanks again @DaveT.

It's unfortunate that thread was closed (against my wishes and vocal protest).

Hmmm... tweet no longer available...

 

[LN1_Casey]

As people complained about it when it came out, I am making a positive affirmation that the newest OTA update has re-enlarged the model car, and the speed limit signs on the S's driver dash.

And thus all complaints were silenced. (/s)
