TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

[defc0n]

Wonder if this will move markets hah

A Drug Enforcement Agency plane collided with a Tesla Model X as it crash-landed on a Texas street

DEA hunting for Elon. Rumors that he took Joe Rogan for a test drive. The frunk was probably loaded something fierce.

I thought the theory of the shorty Air Force relying on kamakazi pilots now to stop Tesla had some merit.

The story of Bob Lutz and constant repeats Tesla is doomed remind me of one story.

Lutz has had a real impact on the world. His contributions amount to exactly 0.003 inches of the rain that flooded N. Carolina last week. #BobFlorence

"Red tide" Rick 'skeletor' Scott

Add Nelson to the mix too. He’s done nothing in 17 years of being in the Senate.

Fact is, both sides suck and have been on the teat of big sugar for too long.

Shortsville Times: Covert DEA plane investigating Elon Musk's cannabis consumption wrecked by Tesla Model X - Autopilot to blame?

Tesla investors Mark Spiegel, Jim Chanos and Andrew Left have called for the release of the Q3 Tesla production letter, due in 7 trading days, to be postponed indefinitely until the SEC, DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSA conduct a thorough investigation of the incident.

They have also renewed their calls for Elon Musk's immediate resignation as CEO of Tesla and have offered their expert advice to the Tesla board for the transition period, free of charge.

NASDAQ pre market price action in the European session:

• NASDAQ futures are up to yesterday's daily high in the trading session, which is bullish
• Dow futures are up too by about 6 points
• In low volume trading $TSLA just broke through the $300 price level, with some trades at $301, which is a pretty rare occurrence in the pre-market, as major lines of resistance are rarely breached.

If these trends continue then these are green macro and bullish signs for $TSLA trading today.

Frederick our man in Germany called in sick today. As soon as the market opens here I will short a half million shares.

BTW., I guess the DEA pilot who got into that emergency is relieved as well that they crashed into a Model X: had they collided with some other car they might have seriously injured the occupants!

Wot? No Fire? Unmöglich!

Anyone providing free sub-$300 buy liquidity at this point is a special kind of dumb: $296 bounced a couple of days and price broke through - why should it have bounced today or tomorrow? Same argument for $300.

I hope I'm not jinxing it!

If the current pre market $TSLA price of $304 is any indication it looks like I haven't jinxed it yet.

Fyi if you are concerned about impact of Audi e-Tron on tesla, don't be. Audi e-tron event September 19th on 90 Broadway in San Francisco – first impressions

It'll sell all they can make (though in Europe only for the first year at least), but I'm gobsmacked at how they managed to be inferior to Tesla in trunk & frunk space, layout, control layout, *A/C*, software stability (and Tesla's software isn't that good!), and price. (I expected them to be inferior on charging.) They have a lot of catching up to do.

From: Short Boss Man
To: Artful Dodger

When astroturfing on Tesla forums you are required to use Americanisms, to give your comments a false air of fake Tesla owner authenticity, and to cover your country of origin!

So the above should be:

"Wot? No Fire? Dang!"​

Grüßi, Boss Man​

 

[neroden]

Amazing!

I'm wondering how they are able to do that: if 30 cars a day was already "delivery hell", how can they increase that by another factor of 3??

Tesla is clearly still wildly disorganized, but they've made some intelligent moves recently. The 2-day "return if not satisfied" policy takes the "problem deliveries" out of the queue. The main delivery queue can be optimized and a separate group of people can handle the troubleshooting.

TO: Boss Short

I have some REALLY REALLY bad news.
I just checked my account and because of our LARGE short position in TLRY I got a margin call.
I won't be able to short a half million shares in TSLA. In fact I will have to buy ONE MILLION TSLA shares to reduce our short position !

Don't worry, we'll make it up after they announce the production numbers on October 2nd. They couldn't have made more than 45,000 cars.

Another, what does it matter what kind of car he was driving? Oh, it was a Tesla? Now *that* is important.

So... the pre-market high is falling, but I think its >50% to stay above $300 by open

I started to believe in my theory, that I posted yesterday, at least teflon, shorts squeeze is imminent.
More theories:
The posts quality on this thread is directly proportional to SP squared.
The level of FUD is inversely proportional to remaining time for short squeeze.

 

[jhm]

The optimistic look would be: There are so many Teslas on the streets that you cannot avoid them even if emergency occurs.

There are so many Teslas on the road now, we run a serious risk of Tesla on Tesla collisions! We don't want that headline. So be careful with other Teslas out there!

Good advice! I also recall the linguistic preferences of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor:

"I speak in Latin to God, Italian to Women, French to Men, and German to my Horse."

Cheers!

As of 9:15 we are up 5 in premarket at 304 !!!

Boss Short will not be happy. No, not at all.

Not going to post links to encourage others to click but have always noted coordinated themes of short inspired “news” from multiple organizations. Today and yesterday particularly obvious. Stock price won’t rise until musk fired, put seat belt on musk, reign in musk—-all by
“Independent “ “news” organizations

Thinking of waiting until 10:30 to buy again. Are there reasons to think there won't be a MMD attack today?
