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

[oldTAVguy]

I've heard that you require a dedicated 200 amp circuit to get this level. This is really just a publicity stunt. Technically possible, but not practical for the vast majority of houses out there.

It could be for a majority of those that buy $150k plus cars.

You did better than I. Get this...
My order was for placed last night at $695 and it executed at $674. What, no sellers it just jumps?

Sometimes....rarely.....the markets work in mysterious ways

 

[Chunky Jr.]

there seems to be two factors in play now at a macro level:
1) interest rates creeping up
2) irrational exuberance about COVID going away and economy opening up full throttle in the next few months

money is being taken out of tech and thrown at hotels and other leisure plays like Disney

what a weird day so far

Meh, that’s the burritos talking. SSDD with TSLA from where I’m standing.

 

[traxila]

Managed to get a piece at 625.

Hard to handle, but I realized that this correction and disaster brought tsla back to the 620s, a number where I was overjoyed and unbelieving of my good fortune just a couple of months ago.

Still all this angst.... I need a vacation. A real one....

Rawlinson was on CNBC this morning claiming that their Wonder box allows for 90 miles an hour of charging per hour at home on Level 2. I need a scientist to help me understand how this is possible.

80 amp 240 volt charging with a driving efficiency of 4.7 miles per kWh will do it.

My buy was just seconds after 7AM, so I must have messed up and forgot to include off-hours trade. So my error saved $20x50 shares = $1k. Sleeper's Discount!

Can everyone stop posting their 'look at me I'm buying at the bottom' prices. No one ever manages to time the bottom so every one of your posts is a signal for it to go lower.

That's not right. I appreciate all buying and without that person buying at the very bottom, there would be no bottom!

We should celebrate opportunities like this for those with undersized positions to be able to build significant positions at better prices compared to the last couple of months.

Oddly my house already has a 120 amp 240V circuit in my garage, intended for an electric kiln that is no longer in use. Now all I need is a new Tesla to go with that connection since it is in Rio de Janeiro and my Teslas have all been in Florida.

Today I heard from two coworkers asking what is wrong with Tesla. When is going up I don't hear from them but when it goes down they are the first to text me. I think they enjoy when Tesla goes down; they know I made a lot of money. Lesson learned never talk about your investments with coworkers.

That's why they say "The best investors are the dead ones!"

Anyone notice Peter Schiff’s name on Twitter?

 

[StealthP3D]

I feel like there's not much new to talk about with Tesla right now, so it's not surprising people are talking about TSLA. These prices are a steal, no two ways about it in my mind.

Unfortunately, my swimming pool is too full to be buying any more unless it happens to go into the $500's (which I don't forsee but never rule it out). If it does, it would only be possible if this market correction/rotation turns into a pure correction and lasts longer than a couple more days.

That's awfully generous of him to defer naming rights for his middle name to Elon.

Showing proper respect to the pecking order here.

Its like a train wreck.. I don't want to watch but I must.

OT: hope that's a hack of his twitter acct and not a humble brag...

Sold the biz after 45 years, emptied the couch and in the past few days I bought shares at $842, 812, 809, 805, 799, 780, 775, 762, 740 and $681. I am thankful for the discounts as I have been all in since 2013. Soon I'll be ready for that island. I do live on one but don't own the whole thing yet.

And what problem does this solve? Are people plugging in a dead battery at 10pm and then running out to their car at midnight?

Are you saying you are not aware of the needs of those of us who have multiple mistresses in multiple states?

It can get exhausting at times!

Disney has been the happiest place in my portfolio lately.
