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

[2daMoon]

A reading from the book of TSLA, chapter 4, page 20, verse 69...

View attachment 653231and the MMs saw the production and spake that it was good.
It was decreed that 700 would be the number and the number would be 700
695 would be acceptable whilst proceeding to 700
705 would mean thou must return to 700.
800 would be right out.
This was the word of the markets...

FTFY

I have to think some money is waiting on the sidelines to see what happens with CPI numbers tomorrow.

Very cool video of Dave interviewing Quad Squad member Randy.

Dave went to visit the site to try out his drone and met Randy. @DaveT , were you aware of the Quad Squad prior to this?

 

[Tim S]

You could not be more wrong. Whoever gets lucky will be very lucky. There's a huge financial difference.

For some of us it's more stubbornness than luck... hopefully some of these will be big winners

Tesla unveils standalone inverter, “completing” home solar product line-up

Tesla has quietly unveiled its a new standalone solar inverter, based on the technology used in the Powerwall 2, completing its fully-integrated household energy system.

Finally. Many quarters ago I sold SolarEdge, because Tesla had said they would do inverters.
(Conference call ... we will do inverters, inverter already in car blah blah ...)

I watch and appreciate most of Daves videos but for this one it was pretty obvious he was out of his regular element. Didn't know relevant questions to steer the conversations along. Randy did a fine job describing the videos but got little help.

If you find the hundreds of Austin youtube videos available overwhelming I suggest picking one every month or so from the start. They all film well but I would suggest Joe Tegtmeyers mainly because he often starts with a few minutes of commentary.

Damn THEY're trying like hell to push this below $700, will she hold...? Last close above $700 was March 17th...

 

[2daMoon]

Something is wrong with the TSLA ticker. We're minutes away from close and it has gotten stuck above $700.

Is there some setting I've misconfigured?

 

[Buckminster]

OT - move along - literally nothing to see here.

702 > 700

MM = F in A

 

[2daMoon]

Do we get Polka music for monthly high score? There seems to be an off chance that we're headed that direction.

 

[Christine69420]

$701.98 is a nice round number!

Yep. Joe and Randy have great opening commentary for each video. So good that you can skip the rest of the video if pressed for time (which I am not ). Jeff has by far the most beautiful videos. Jack doesn't post very often but has great stuff.

I specifically try to post Joe's videos with monthly recaps in this thread plus others from all members with unusual content or that mark a significant event.

Tesla Owners, Say ‘Open Butthole’ and Get a Little Surprise

It seems Tesla has added support for a voice command that allows you to access the car’s charging port by saying “Open butthole,” with the accompanying command “Close butthole” meant to shut the port when you’re done charging.

All I'm saying is this settlement benefits Tesla even if Tesla doesn't get a single battery from SK's production. Tesla is not the one that will be paying a royalty (or settlement) to LG and now LG will have more money to invest in, you guessed it, even more battery production. More batteries allows Tesla to expand EV and energy production beyond what they could have without more batteries. This settlement adds batteries to the market in more ways than one. It will be at least a decade before there are enough batteries to satisfy all market needs. People who think about this in terms of protecting Tesla's market for batteries (or EV's for that matter) are thinking too small and too conventionally.

You can't stop an idea whose time has come but it can be slowed down by physical constraints. This removes one more brick from the wall that is blocking faster progress.

LG has a lot of time on their hands now that they've exited the Smartphone portion of their business

Maybe that was the reference Elon was referring to when he said 'Going to moon soon'

I believe what you meant to say was....

"Open butthole!!!"

I was playing around a few weeks ago and noticed that sometimes I received a, "command not implemented, yet" message instead of the standard command not understood. Guessing there are more commands not found, yet

I'm contemplating selling the last of my Chamath SPAC stocks

Coincidentally I dumped all my Chamath SPACs today to book the loss. I don't see much happening with them in the short term, might buy back in 30 days if they are still down.
