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

[deffu]

I'd put money on Elon's last tranche being sold today, hence the stagnation since about 2 and a half hours ago. Seems most logical given he's sold 2 times this week that the schedule was to wrap it up before Christmas.

We might see something similar to yesterday where the stock accelerated in the last 30 mins after the selling from Elon has subsided.

I think probably both Nasdaq and tsla will have a mini sell off in the last minutes as day traders don’t want to hold for the long weekend

 

[JustSaying]

Currently, TSLA is up 5.7x vs the NASDAQ-100 and 6.7x vs the S&P 500.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

This is "power hour"?

 

[Thekiwi]

Speed/throughput would be the reason folks would come up with that math I imagine.

1 gas pump can fuel from empty to full 10 or more cars per hour-- Whereas most L3 chargers (esp. non tesla ones) can do...1 car in an hour from near empty to near full.


Now- we know most will charge at home (though some % of the population can't)- and we know it's dumb to charge from empty to full in one go- but those are non-obvious things to those less familiar with EVs.

Biggest issue would be designing an adequate network for peak car travel demand (like 4th July weekend or Hurricane evacuations in Florida). So will need massive charging areas on highways/interstates at certain distances from major Metros that line up with average EV ranges.

Power hour sponsored by the Texas electricity grid?

Get the "PPF Track Package" the paint protection film on the Full Hood, Front Bumper, Full Fenders, Mirrors, A-Pillars, Partial Roof, Rockers and Door Trim. Total saved almost !/2.

And in snow/sand/salt regions, don’t forget the panel behind the rear licence plate.

Seems like the SP is stuck… can we all get behind and push it’ll pop loose and move more freely.

It certainly is stuck in a rut. Volume is nice today too.

Sorry, everybody except us BOTS have already left.
Please try again on monday.
At least one of those nasty humans should be on duty.

Interesting opinion from the Tesla Economist about how likely Chinese EV manufacturers could take over the US market.

Spoiler: Tl;Dr

Not likely.

Great information

 

[traxila]

Well my 1100 predictions did not pan out. Do not know why. Was pretty certain it looked like 1100 was calling. Elon, perhaps? Hope so.

Eh, Monday I guess.

But one of the 1030s I picked up for 0.50 a piece more than made up for it so don't worry about me. TD got confused by the percentage returns for some reason.

All the best to everyone this holiday season.

Tsla was sluggish at opening today. If Elon sold today, it must be at the opening. But I think probably still 2 trenches to go next week

Uhhhh......no lol. Not sure where you're getting that assessment in the trading at open. And it's only 1 more tranche to go. Likely executed today.

 

[JRP3]

Another reason to be thankful for Tesla

Next week should bring more fireworks. We have a combination of:

Closing at HOD multiple days in a row, especially on OpEx day
Call IVs are up nicely
We sliced right through the 20 DMA - no resistance whatsoever
Elon might have sold his last tranche today - I share this theory
P&D FOMO rally starts next week

Tsla dipped under 1000 couple times at open while Nasdaq was green

 

[UnknownSoldier]

All I want for Christmas is for Elon to file the last Form 4 tonight and declare on Twitter that he is done

 

[obie_fl]

Here's hoping the next time Elon sells we dip back in to the $800's so we can get more cheap shares... 800s after the next 5 for 1 split that is.

I'd like to see Tesla install chargers at all US interstate rest areas that have room for solar and batteries... and that's pretty much ALL of them, as most rest areas seem to have lots of extra land, or at least plenty of room for solar panel covered canopies and a megapack or two.

This may not be practical yet. Some ballpark numbers:

Average charge rate: 100 kW
Average use time: 10%
Average useful time of insolation: 50%

For one stall you would need 100 kW / 10 * 2 = 50 kW of solar panels. This will cost Tesla $25k per stall, not including batteries and require 4,300 square feet of panels. Twenty stalls would require nearly the area of a Walmart Supercenter. Perhaps the panels could be covered with bullet proof glass but I'd still be concerned about vandalism at these remote locations.

An easier goal would be to put chargers at most of the existing interstate interchanges that already have service facilities. There will be people around and access to the grid. Drivers will feel safer and have more amenities available.

Average charge rate: 100 kW

Where did you get this rate from? Charge curves? I have no hard data to back this up, but anything above 75kW average at Tesla supercharging stations would be surprising to me.

After 10s of thousands of supercharger miles, 100kW average seems wrong to me. Most of the network I use during road trips is old V2, though.
