"Tesla's rival's filling reveal Chapter 11 bankruptcy is possible" - TheStreet
Tesla and bankruptcy algo likes. 50 bucks down in 2 weeks. The attack is strong.
I wonder how many Model Ys were produced at Berlin and Austin Q1 2023 compared to Q1 2024, because my impression is that the ramp has made substantial progress and we can throw in a few Cybertrucks as a bonus.Lower (or within 1-2% of anyway) Q1 2023 is ballpark the latest data-based # I saw
The central nuance as I understand it:Simply doing a genuine buy or sell that moves the market isn't illegal-- even you do it more than once- if it were Elons selling would be a violation.
The Semi Factory ($10B+ annual revenue when ramped) and Shanghai MegaPACKtory ($10-15 annual revenue when ramped depending on Megapack price fluctuation) are both reportedly to begin production in Q4 2024.
The deferred revenues from Lathrop MegaPACKtory are a staggerin $4B as of Q4 2023 and growing!! SOURCE:
In the 10-Q it was reported that $1.05B of this deferrend Energy revenue will be realized in the next 12 months. In 2025 this number will become very meaningful.
The production of Model 2 on all 3 continents will likely commence in 2025, probably not simultaneously, but in succession. Elon today confirmed Berlin expansion (below) is underway. Shanghai Phase 3 expansion began in 2021, was put on hold until it was revitalized in Q4 2023. Once the kinks are worked out on the Austin Model 2 line, the others will be soon to follow.

I agree 2024 won't be much to write home about, but even without FSD and some of the other so-called "options" on the stock (major catalysts), these aforementioned catalysts for 2025 are imminent. They will affect the stock price materially in that year, if not late 2024
(2) To effect, alone or with 1 or more other persons, a series of transactions in any security registered on a national securities exchange, any security not so registered, or in connection with any security-based swap or security-based swap agreement with respect to such security creating actual or apparent active trading in such security, or raising or depressing the price of such security, for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of such security by others.
If the reason the strategy works is because it makes others sell (or buy), it's illegal...Ok.
Now prove they're doing that, specifically for that purpose, instead of it being a strategy they can prove makes a profit and the reason they're doing it is...making a profit.
As Papafox himself noted- the same market behavior was happening the other direction in calls back in 2020, driving the stock up as people opened and later closed huge call positions- often same day ones, often over and over.
If the reason the strategy works is because it makes others sell (or buy), it's illegal...
Which is interesting in terms of stop loss triggering large shorts...
I'm not here to prove the situation exists, only to attempt to explain how it differs from normal trading and where the proposed senario is called out in law.
Tesla $25k car is a '2027 story' after Giga Texas tour, analysts say
Tesla has tasted substantial growth in its production and deliveries over the past few years, but now, Wall Street is beginning to anticipate the potential for a pullback for the automaker.www.teslarati.com
The hits continue
Serious question here…what data do we have suggest light deliveries in Q1?
Cheaper mass produced car requires huge volumes to achieve economies of scale. Achieving high through put on an automobile is going to be challenging whatever way its done-- subsegmentally or optimus or whatever, so does not take a rocket scientist to know that it will be a ways down the road. But based on prior experience, there were few MS around, and then a few years later, everywhere, and similarly with M3 and MY. Wow this article must have been written by a brain surgeon who is also a rocket scientist. Or maybe used an AI algo 'create/craft' an article with high click through...This is so obviously a big b*llsh*t claim.
Tesla keeps its mouth tightly shut regarding everything about the next-gen vehicle.
And now some analyst (with a terrible record, by the way) claims that after a tour of the Austin facility he has enough information to predict the time schedule of the next-gen vehicle?
No way he has seen or heard anything during the tour.
Hope Tesla bars visits to any Tesla facility by this guy for life.
In March 2019, 5 years ago, I paid 68280 euro for a dual motor Model 3, with 19” wheels and FSD.Thanks for the info on deliveries. IDK, but it seems Tesla would cut prices if demand fell as much as some are thinking (~420k). As noted, Model Y prices have been fairly stable. I bought a Model Y in Q3 ‘23 (my fourth Tesla) and today’s prices are similar or perhaps a little higher than what I paid. Furthermore, inventory levels seem to be normal or even a little less than normal. No science here, just looking at zip codes.
Tesla took a lot of heat for dropping prices, but I don’t think they’ve changed. They are still profitable and cash flow positive, so they’d probably lower prices even more if sales weren’t keeping with production.
I guess we’ll know in about two weeks.
Cheers!
I don't get your math, taking into account inflation the 64k would be even less in 2019 EurosIn March 2019, 5 years ago, I paid 68280 euro for a dual motor Model 3, with 19” wheels and FSD.
If I configure the exact same car now, the price is 64480 euro.
So taking into account inflation, this Model 3 is still more expensive than what I paid 5 years ago.
If Tesla was so demand limited, wouldn’t they rush the Highland Performance Model 3 to market?
Indeed I was wrong.I don't get your math, taking into account inflation the 64k would be even less in 2019 Euros
Right, I think realistic expectations on the batteries for both of those is late 2025/early 26To make money?
Assuming they can show the strategy did that, and they didn't make any illegal trades (no inside info, no naked shorting without a Madoff exception, no publishing fake "Tesla on verge of bankruptcy stories, etc) I'm not sure what law, specifically, Papafox thinks they're violating. The securities laws around manipulation generally require you to manipulate in a way that is, itself, against the law. Simply doing a genuine buy or sell that moves the market isn't illegal-- even you do it more than once- if it were Elons selling would be a violation.
If the SEC thinks the behavior is bad for fair and free markets they can always propose new regulations (I mean, good luck getting them to... and I'd be super curious to see the wording that'd let them prevent opening and closing options same day, but only when "bad" people do it?
But likewise good luck asking for an enforcement action where I can't see any much of a legal case for there being one)
Lower (or within 1-2% of anyway) Q1 2023 is ballpark the latest data-based # I saw (and MS, GB, and others have been cutting their own "predictions" pretty near in line with that since their meeting with Tesla in Austin as well).
So get ready for a fresh round of everyones favorite last-place-tipranks "analyst" telling you about Teslas busted growth story.
Sure, improving the Nevada cells is a possible source- but given they themselves have targeted "sometime during 2024 or 2025" for the upgrades (and there'd be downtime to get them in place and working) it's unlikely that'd materially increase supply THIS year.
Ditto the Kansas plant, which at last report had March 2025 for start of production-
That bottom one is a price chart? No dividends, so less useful.TSLA, last 5 years

We're fortunate the stock market is well above its 2021 peak. Or the TSLA stock price would be looking much, much worse today…
