TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

[aubreymcfato]

@KarenRei go on Medium and post your series of articles!
Or even better: ask @ZachShahan to post them on CleanTechnica.

Excellent and concise content like this must be spread through proper channels for normal people who don't live in here like us.

The claim that Elon is “Fact Checking” is ridiculous. Does he check the Forum? Now that’s another question altogether.

1. How popular is TMC among people who follow the automotive industry, and among Auto News readers in particular? If "not much", why does Auto News ask this question?
2. Did Auto News find anything remarkable in Fact Checking's posts? If so, what is it? If not, why do they ask the question, again?

Given the "not supportive" tone of Auto News (and their recent hires), I guess they're just trying to draw attention to what's being said here, so that the old guard does not grow old too quickly and get a chance to rebut our growth story.

Getting outside finance capital has not been the easiest thing for Tesla lately

A secured loan backed by housing (which can be relocated if required), built in a place with a housing shortage and soaring housing prices, sounds like the easiest loan-acquisition process ever.

Lol, I feel stupid. I was noticing that my stock ticker wasn't ticking, despite it being half an hour after the markets normally open.

Then I remembered that you guys just changed your clocks, didn't you?

@neroden @FS_FRA
you left out the absolute number of kWh and % of batteries used in pure EV's in 2018

Where do these numbers come from? Nissan sold over 13k Leafs in Norway alone this year or 520MWh as opposed to the 476MWh in this overview. From eyeballing it, seems like the other brands are wrong too.

I was on holiday recently and my partner and me (She's also a Tesla investor). One day we were trying to check the price and it looked closed We checked the times, ok, looked to see if it was a holiday in the US, no. Was there an attack on the NYSE? Had there been a flash crash. Then it dawned on us, it was Saturday.

The graph says the data is from Insideevs.com, which means it is probably US sales only.

Is it just me or is the myth that wealthy people don’t pay taxes absolutely ridiculous?

I am sure many of us that own Tesla’s are in the “wealthy” category. Am I the only one of us that pays a large amount of taxes?

Also - if/when I do sell my TSLA shares at a healthy gain - Uncle Sam Will again get a healthy cut of my gains.

I predict green today.

Wow that's a STEEP rise from the brief 30 second MMD!

Apparently, not as wealthy as you think. Income tax is for losers like us. Imagine having your net worth make untaxed capital gains in perpetuity which are 10x as much as your consumption requirements/desires.

I'm loving the new FUD articles. "Tesla's hidden energy sales that helped profits". LOL. Way to try to spin profits as some nefarious scheme rather than acknowledging the huge upside to their non-car business.

The deep part of the mmd is a huge sell. Probably shorting. It immediately went green after which is hilarious...

RIGHT?! Like "ohhh these bastards are making money! It's a scam! Short this pig!" Delusional

Price just went past $345. Who's buying today?

Actual footage of Spiegel & Co this morning... It ain't pretty

Nasdaq is on fire so far today...

Mod: Most excellent replies to the question "Why invest in Tesla". They deserved a dedicated thread where people will find them, not be buried in Market action. So, I give you: Why invest in Tesla (KarenRei) --ggr

The upper class isn't paying any taxes to speak of at this point anyway. I guess they could cut it below zero, they've done that before.


It's true, the Republicans and their bosses don't care. The market traders do care, though, and they do not like inflation.

On the off chance you really are just misinformed on US taxes, the opposite is true. Not only does the US upper class pay the overwhelming majority of the taxes, the US tax system is one of the most progressive in the world:

American taxes are unusually progressive. Government spending is not


The fact that so many people think this isn't the case is testimony to the power of the media to control the narrative.
