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

[Mengy]

So, red close?

I think it will close just barely in the green, but right over the line.

Very sad, I expected more rocketing today. Most of the market is very nicely up.

Germany's energy use is highest in winter. Northern Germany is covered with clouds fall to spring, a long, depressing winter with little sun for solar panels.

Energy use highest in winter? No way! Clouds in winter, maybe even rain? /s

So many experts on Germany here, I get depressed just listening.. How on earth did I pick this place to live ?!

 

[EVMeister]

Frustrating but in the long run, inconsequential.

Imagine how much gambling was precipitated by forum discussions expecting rocketing the past several weeks. I hope some folks feel ashamed and embarrassed.

Closing Price $891.29

Not divisible by 3..

 

[ZsoZso]

I'm sure tomorrow we will see the benefit of the split.
All those poor retail investors who had to sit on the sidelines (because they could not affor to pay $890) will rush into the shop to buy their 1 affordable share of TSLA!
It will be glorious...

[wipster]

Well so much for 900/300 damn it!

 

[SmokyPeat]

That was a whole lot of nothing. Oh well, more time to buy shares on the cheap.

 

[Mengy]

Anyone have any idea what time the split actually happens?

I remember last time TSLA split my Vanguard account showed five times my shares but at the original share price, and for an hour or so before market open the next day my account valuation was inflated five times what it should be. Made for a glorious screenshot, I wonder if the same will happen this time?

My Personal Capital dashboard did the same thing too

Same for me. Felt like a window into the future.

 

[elasalle]

No worries, at least everyone will have more shares tomorrow morning

 

[Mengy]

Yeah it did! My account hasn't quite gotten up to that erroneous value yet, but it got over half way there (at the ATH) since the last split! Someday it will actually for real be that mistaken valuation....probably in a year or two.

Saying germany has terrible solar resources isn’t some insult just a statement of fact.

A solar panel will produce over 5x the electricity in southern Spain during Dec/Jan as one in Berlin. This is unfortunately why solar panels in Germany is a uniquely terrible solution to replace Russia NG which is consumed primarily in the winter.

Why am I getting the heebiejeebies when I read the name T-Mobile, whether or not it is associated with Starlink?
It is a serious question: although not in the same league of Most Despised US companies as ’net service providers like Comcast, I am pretty sure that T-Mobile, Verizon, ATT and so forth, as cellphone service providers, aren’t viewed as fuzzy teddy bears one cuddles up with.
Moreover, not one of these firms has full coverage throughout even just the USA. Can it be that linking with Starlink makes that difference - ie, that satellite ubiquity trumps ALL ground coverage? That, I should think, would be a spectacular game changer.

As a very long time T-Mobile customer, pretty much only because of the not-too-good but available global coverage including data. They have been in many places the only such options. Adding SpaceX with new iPhone alleged satellite connectivity suddenly makes that are good option rather than the reluctant only choice. I have no idea how many such people there are, but I am positive they all pay LARGE mobile connectivity bills. I hope this finally does it, and I'll buy an iPhone 14 in a heartbeat if it has satellite connectivity.

I wonder howe this rubs off on Tesla. How about worldwide updates and monitoring whether or not Tesla has an established presence already. Places such as almost all of Africa, all of South America, almost all of SouthEast Asia etc could suddenly become more easily supported.

This sounds to be maybe a big deal for SpaceX, T-Mobile and maybe even Tesla. We shall see tomorrow night.

 

[raffiniert]

Probably a squeeze above $1600 at some point in there.

I‘m glad someone is even more optimistic than I am.
That is $4800 pre-split!

eTrade did the same, wonder if I still have the screenshot?

Tesla is the only profitable NEV company even in China once you factor out subsidies.
