At least according to IB the uptick rule was in effect until 8pm Eastern tonight.
Not that that will happen, but that's exactly why I want Tesla to change its battery upgrade policy, and start to design the smaller batteries to be able to be taken apart and upgraded and sold used, and with enough automation and ease of battery swap that it doesn't cost Tesla a lot and therefore they are able to make a profit without charging the customers a lot to upgrade. In this way, a $35,000 Model 3 could easily become a much nicer car over time. Maximize the amount of upgradable hardware for low extra upgrade cost over original fitment of such parts allowing that to go to profit. Hardware with good MTBF that customers don't see could be refurbished and put back into new cars with full warranty; Tesla could get into a situation where their less expensive high MTBF unseen hardware is almost always just refurbished. Some things like seats and interior cloth would not be upgradable in the same way, but the seats could at least allow a full-purchase price for higher options. Maybe there could be a slot in seats that makes it easy to install additional seat features such as massage, etc.. Spring ride could be designed to be easy to convert to air ride; probably, it is not easy to do right now; the springs could be refurbished and put back into new cars (since this is a rare upgrade, all of those springs could be earmarked for store loaner and test drive models which get discounts when sold anyway). Make the motor swappable for a performance motor; I think that's already true with Model 3 according to Ingineer's videos, but just facilitate it more. You could have a $35,000 Model 3 you incrementally upgraded to a performance model. Etc.
Assumption without factual basis. Quite likely the legal team told Musk they had a very strong case, but that it would take time for it all to play out, which might depress the stock in the short term. Elon weighed the benefits and risks and made a choice.
That rules out Murdoch... Tell me again, how did he get on the BoD? Oh, right... No threat to Musk's control.
They may get the power back, but instead they may be wiser and cover. I think Andrew Left himself admitted it is now very difficult to short Tsla. We will have to see tsla delivery statement and go from there.
But Gates kept the platform open long after IBM left the space, even with so many hardware issues that became a big problem for Microsoft. BTW, real explosive growth of PCs came after Windows.
I worked out the total plausible class action shareholder derivative lawsuit exposure a while back, though I have lost the calculation. Exposure for "elevated" stock price was mouse nuts, since it could only be considered elevated above the price *before* the tweet (which was high due to Saudi news). Exposure for "depressed" stock price suffers from the need to make the case that Musk intended to lower the stock price, which I doubt they have any ability to make, so I think the exposure there is zero.
Obviously buffing out flaws in the frunk liner, bankwuptcy secured.Grasping at straws is right: "Photos posted online on Sunday show hoods open, possibly indicating maintenance work."
That’s why my vote is for someone that’s more low key. Like, maybe, John Chambers chairman of Cisco Systems. Plus, he lives near HQ.
