Too late to get into TSLA right now? Feel like I missed the boat with this run up. I need a few days for settled cash to be available and I'm a little worried that I will have really missed my opportunity by late next week.
This is not the "gambling casino" that is a couple doors down.I distinctly remember having the conversation with my MIL, who's financial advisor would not let he invest in TSLA, when it was $886 saying "what's the downside in investing in TSLA at this price? I mean it can only go up".
Plus my last two years of getting caught up in the meme stock squeeze and then losing bog in other dumb positions has me a little gun shy right now. Part of me things I can turn 100k into 500k with this and the other is confident i can make that 100k into 25k.
From reality vs image dept: There have been atheists in foxholes and equivalent, IME people in foxholes and/or open combat swear profusely.Lol, there are no atheists in foxholes and nuclear submarines barely above crush depth...
Cheers!
I think it’s unlikely too but yet AMZN has a P/E of 94 in this environment.

You seem to have conflated the first generation RAV4 BEV (produced entirely by Toyota because Tesla didn't even exist in 1997) with the 2nd generation RAV4 BEV that had the Tesla powertrain (first available in 2012). Even the 1st Gen RAV4 could not have "yielded the wonderful Prius" because they both had first production in the same year, 1997, although the Prius didn't come to the U.S. until 2001 which is still before Tesla even existed....
Frankly it is impossible to overstate the enormity of Akio Toyoda stepping down. As a grandson of the founder he has had outsized influence. As a car nut himself he received a Tesla Roadster from Elon: Tesla Thanks Toyota CEO with a 2011 Roadster Sport 2.5
I understood that, Mr Toyoda was pleased, but after commissioning the RAV4 BEV powered by Tesla he was convinced that CARB or not, BEV would never work. That very sceptical view later yielded the wonderful Prius, then the Marai. He never imagined how lei-ion could provide practical long range.
(note: during the CARB compliance car days i was consulting with a competitor also located in Torrance, CA. One of my colleagues had worked on the Toyota BEV plans then. Long stories. In the process I drove them all, including a handful of dreadful prototypes. At the time Toyota was wildly elated over Lexus, and thought hybrids were the future.)
Weekend OT. I am currently watching this youtube video of conversation between Hugh Hendy and Mark Spiegel. I did not know who Hugh was and he is niether a bull nor bear on Tesla. I found it entertaining to watch Mark being roasted by another short seller for being emotional.
How long do we expect it will take them to cover?NASDAQ reported Short Interest (SI) for TSLA has increased by 10.4M shares since the last reporting period: (Dec 30, 2022 vs Jan 13, 2023)
View attachment 900562
This represents an increase of 5.7% in the number of shares shorted, but also this is an increase in the value of shares shorted by $1.12B or +11.2%. Paging @Papafox
Shortzes DID NOT expect such positive 2022 Q4 results, and were set up for a 'miss'. Now, they are scrambling to outpace a short-covering rally. We are up > 75% since the TSLA bottom during the 1st week of Jan 2023:

Cheers to the Longs!
Cause or effect???Striking how the squeeze/spike in Lucid yesterday seems to have affected other “next Tesla” stocks.

Joking aside, there were plenty of posts before the last split when the stock was around $1100 saying "you should get in now before it hits $4000". At least no one is going on about the cars being appreciating assets anymore... for now...Better to get in at 170 before we get back to $400 in couple months/years than wait to get back in at $60 before it goes back to $400 but finally it never goes below $100, ever. Ask Chicken Genius Singapore.

That's just because Teslas are so much fun to drive, you never WANT to stop; THAT'S why Tesla brakes really last so long.Mercedes GLS 450, 80,000 miles, 2017 4 times brake change for each wheel, nearly 90000 mile model x 2016: zero brake changes
Agreed. Toyota developed the Prius because they were desperate. No one under fifty purchased a Toyota and 40% Japanese market penetration appeared to be an impossible goal (a couple of decades earlier it was closer to 80%). They took the top engineers from their various devisions and gave them a mandate to create systems for the 21st century. An actual car wasn't expected. Once the Prius was successful and the market share in Japan was at reasonable levels, they went back to Toyota's normal bureaucracy, which is why development pretty much stopped for the Prius in 2004. (Source: The Prius that Shook the World)You seem to have conflated the first generation RAV4 BEV (produced entirely by Toyota because Tesla didn't even exist in 1997) with the 2nd generation RAV4 BEV that had the Tesla powertrain (first available in 2012). Even the 1st Gen RAV4 could not have "yielded the wonderful Prius" because they both had first production in the same year, 1997, although the Prius didn't come to the U.S. until 2001 which is still before Tesla even existed.
The concept of the Mirai (which is about as far from wonderful as you can get) could have come from skepticism of the Tesla-powered RAV4 BEV since it came out after that but you are completely wrong about the Prius history. The Prius was wonderful (for its time) and its success more than anything from Lexus is far more likely to have driven Akio's love of hybrids.
Why might you regret it?I kind of feel the same way. Have some {Mod: other stuff that doesn't belong in this thread}. Anyway, definitely looking to put anything I can into TSLA. Might regret it....
Yep. I don’t care anymore about the price of TSLA. I just Submitted a limit order for 170$ for 1,000 shares for Monday morning.Better to get in at 170 before we get back to $400 in couple months/years than wait to get back in at $60 before it goes back to $400 but finally it never goes below $100, ever.

Fair, in Nov 2021. I bailed at $327 in 2022 but bought at $15 in 2018 (between $205 and $235 then). It paid off two mortgages, so I'm pretty happy about that. I'd have felt almost criminal telling people to buy or even hold at the point I sold, you can always buy back in later.all time high adjusted to TSLA never split terms is $6110.40
I still expect new all time highs in the future.
