Looks like it, price not going up even with volume going up.Do people really believe this morning was regular MMD action? It feels more like a large investor dumped/trimmed their holding.

Benzinga - half hour ago: Should Apple Partner With Tesla, Ford Or GM On A Self-Driving EV? | Benzinga
Excerpt:
About 37% of traders and investors believe a Tesla-Apple EV partnership makes the most sense.
Many respondents noted Elon Musk's company is the most established EV automaker and would be the easiest for Apple to partner with, given its EV line up features the longest distance electric cars between charges, the company’s laid out plans for installing EV chargers throughout the U.S. and at-present has the largest EV market share.
So Redneck Speak:
Ya screwed with us, and it hurt. We need you to clearly understand who is incharge here. Tell your bean-counters to behave, or be willing to pay quite a bit more for the chips.... I didn't think so.
IV increased substantially today
Unlike GM and Ford, Elon and Zach may never give definitive guidance on the issue. Anyone else's statement is pure conjecture.Is there any actual definitive word as to what extent this chip shortage has affected tesla, if at all? They dont make all their own chips, and are producing flat out, so surely its having an impact?
Oh yes. Volume is anemic.

Personally find it a little silly to compare "real-world" ranges with a 13 degree temperature difference, but whatever gets you clicks I suppose.
@ericmandela with a tweet that made a lot of sense to me. Not sure if heard this angle shared here. Obviously we won’t hear this from the paidstream media...
While some worry that @tesla converted $1.5B of cash to Bitcoin, I don’t hear them worrying that GM spent $2.95B on advertising in the US alone in 2019. Being a novel move, the conversion served to provide additional free press for Tesla. $TSLA
My daughter provided some background:Over 271,000 March $20 put orders have been executed today. Is someone using these to depress the share price? Something to do with NOPE Net Options Pricing Effect?
I truly hate twitter sometimes....so hard to follow the threads...Interesting Tweet from Ross Gerber; the text of which reads:
"Hey @GordonJohnson19 can’t seem to find you on the SEC or FINRA website. It would seem as if you’re giving financial advice without being properly registered or licensed. Which is illegal. Maybe you can explain your accounting for this? #tesla #FUD $TSLA"

Welp looks like they'll successfully break 806 for the close, probably 800. I'd say this sell off is going to continue. Ugly day and ugly week. So much for Max Pain actually working to our benefit
My daughter provided some background:
I [she] was baffled by Tesla's rapid drop today and decided to probe a little deeper. I soon stumbled on this article: Is This Why Tesla Just Plunged? | ZeroHedge - it seems someone bought 223,000 way OTM Tesla puts with a $20 strike for March. After reading it, I immediately remembered that I had recently (6th Feb) seen a tweet posted by Michael Burry (of the big short) regarding delta-gamma hedging: https://twitter.com/michaeljburry/status/1357829213357711360. As most are aware, Burry is vocally short on Tesla.
In the article he links it says:
a) If NOPE is high negative — This means a ton of put buying, which means a lot of those puts are now worth more, and a lot of calls are now worth less/worth less (due to price decoherence). This means that to stay delta neutral, market makers need to sell/short more shares, pushing the stock price down.
Hello friends!
Burry was also tweeting about FSD earlier, so he was clearly doing some research. Maybe he wanted to try out this method of buying OTM puts in order to encourage market makers to sell off shares so that he could cover his short position? Maybe he just wanted to see if it works?
I don't know but the entire thing seems really off to me. Please let me know what you think.
So basically someone’s pushing down the stock by massively buying put options for pennies, creating a reverse gamma-squeeze? Sounds like an easy way to create a buying dip! Can we do this monthly?My daughter provided some background:
