    I'm still thinking Q4 news could be good sales but great margins. Assuming that's the case, if they announced average sales alone, it could be viewed as a negative. So could they also announce approximate Q4 Margins or is that number impossible to calculate in early Jan when vehicle sales are announced?

    Just trying to avoid the kind of depression/panic we saw around 7/1 and 10/1. I expect the week of 1/1 to be much the same.

    I have the same problem. I am voting for Elon's Gigaparty if we get a Brexit referendum...

    Did OK today. Earlier this week I placed a sell of 50 @333 (and a buy @297 but didn't get it). Kinda silly considering I paid 317 so I only made $800... much about nothing really.

    I need to quit looking and guessing, this is addictive!

    I don't think they will talk about margins. They may reiterate Q4 guidance - but unlikely.

    I'm ok with a positive earnings surprise ;)

    I won’t disagree that liberals distrust billionaires, but I question 80% are conservatives. I think you are well read and probably 100% on target 80% of the time. Maybe I think there’s a Soros or Gates for every Koch and that’s probably a bad assumption on my part. When I do look at the top billionaires though, I see Bezos, Gates and Larry Page and Sergei Brin, balanced out by Koch’s and the Waltons. I think a lot of billionaires, while self interested, still believe in liberal ideals and globalism. Many are beneficiaries of immigration and public education as well.
    Not denying the rise of nationalism and autocracy being more popular, just not sure billionaires are so hegemonious.

    Open to new data.

    I don't think that is a meaningful way to think about it. (At time of typing, Nasdaq is down .01%, TSLA up 5.34%, by your logic that would be -540x better.)

    Depends what your definition of "turbocharger" is... it can also refer to a really fast charger pumping as many electrons into the battery pack as it can. Doesn't mean that is how they'll understand it, but it all depends on what the definition of "is" is, to quote a certain ex-President.

    So I looked this up myself, see this list: The World's Billionaires
    Larry Ellison is now worth 55 billion.
    Interestingly, he has jumped over the Koch brothers since the begin of this year to the 7th place in the ranking, mostly because the Kochs lost a quarter of their net worth (about 14 billion each) this year.

    This stock is bananas. Didn't hardly bat an eye when macros tanked late in the day today. Some days it magnifies macros, some days it ignores it completely. Max pain was ignored completely today too.

    Here's hoping I find a decent entry point before deliveries (and that deliveries doesn't end up being negative).

    I agree. I'm playing with the interpretation. The thought behind is decoupling from Nasdaq ;)

    Pure speculation from my part, but it might be they added technology to boost additional power with an electric "turbo".

    Ultra-capacitor hybrid radically boosts power and efficiency of lithium batteries

    Quite pleased to see Larry on board.

    Pretty good day for the guy, in addition to the board announcement, at 3 million shares owned, and a $333.87 closing price, he joins Elon in redefining Teslanaires

    I think you guys are missing the point with the Porsche Turbo Taycan.

    This way they can 1. Point out that Tesla doesn't sell and Turbo version of the S, X or 3 and 2. sell the upgrade to "twin turbo" Taycan in a couple of years.

    cunning bastards

    That's easy, allow 350kw charging for about 10 seconds on a very low soc vehicle.
