I wonder how quickly i cold get hired at Tesla? I'd sweep floors, clean toilets, whatever, then let Elon rage fire me as he often doesAfter incentives the net cost of the MR car is $30k (!)

Much shorting occurs via non-FINRA monitored institutions. Yes MMs have special exemptions which allow them to sell naked shorts. The SEC needs to get a grip on this obvious, blantant, and widespread abuse of trust. MMs are effectively issuing shares of TSLA thereby seriously diluting the SP, all without an actual Investor who owned shares.Short interest only slightly up while the price tanked. Algos and longs are selling due to the overall market. Don’t see how the market can drop much more than it has... economy is fine
I agreed. A long time ago. On a message board far, far away (BTW, only got 1 'like' when I posted my preference for Larry Elison on Nov 7, 2018. You're welcome).There were some discussion about Larry for one of the independent BoD pick. I think someone mentioned it was not possible since he is a major shareholder in tesla / friend with elon musk in private, and therefore does not satisfy independence requirement, or something.
Lock down his shares, wot? And he could easily put a hard floor on the SP with a standing 'Buy' order which creeps up incrementally with each Financials report.Larry Ellison's appointment to the Tesla board has significant anti-dilutive effects.

Yes, Open Interest is the interesting parameter. Look for movement toward the $360 Strike price, while keeping an eye on the $400 Calls.Max Payne that far out is about as good as a weather forecast for that day
I wrote a post about this recently, I think in terms of cargo space and ergonomics the Model 3 can hold up with many hatchbacks and station wagons.
"Surprisingly spacious" is a common reaction of Tesla first-timers.
It won't satisfy all station wagon and hatchback fans - but I think it's a real option to many of them.
I tend to agree. People that buy a Porsche know cars and what a Turbo does. Even if everyone does not know, using Turbo in the name of an electric car makes Porsche look silly to the people that do know cars. They need to be more creative here.

Sadly, Opricot disagrees:
Make a 'cold' call?I wonder how quickly i cold get hired at Tesla?
Time will tell but my gut feel is that the difference between driving a Porsche versus other sports cars in the old disappearing world of ICEs will be reduced if not vanish in the new world of BEVs.
Yeah, Karen is right. The major action for Jan 18, 2019 is at the $360 Strike price:
Option Graphs
Tesla Inc (TSLA) as of 12/29/2018 7:13:12 AM
Expiration 1/18/2019
- Highest Put Strike: 360.0
- Highest Put Volume: 1648
- Highest Call Strike: 360.0
- Highest Call Volume: 2341
![]()
The most 'striking' aspect of the current distribution of Options Contracts is that both the Highest Put Strike and the Highest Call Strike price both occur at $360. This will be a powerful attractor for the SP as trading continues toward Jan 18, 2019.
A second notable feature of this chart is that there is a 2nd significant spike in CALL Options only (not PUTS) at the $400 Strike Price. Currently there are about 1,850 open Contracts at that price for the 1/18/2019 expiry, representing an addtional 185,000 shares for a minimum share value of $74 Million if fully executed.
That's just over 0.1% of TSLA total market cap as a 'side-bet' lotto-ticket type play.
So it's gonna be facinating to watch TSLA MA in early Jan as both MMs and Investors jockey for positions on the big day. Popcorn (and dry powder) ready.
Cheers!

Mine too. Lots of people in Sweden wont buy a Model 3 without a towing hook. There have been early hints from Elon that it's coming but I haven't heard anything lately and the option isn't available when ordering.Weekend OT
What would really make my day would be a towing hitch: not that I want to haul a caravan across the continent but If there was a way to attach my road bike without the need to fiddle with a roof rack or get a small trailer to carry some lumber (or said fridge) a few kilometers back home from the store - that would REALLY go a long way to alleviate the issues for me as a station wagon guy.
I work at Oracle and Ellison said he would never be a Director at Tesla in an internal meeting recently. He said he has too much to do already.
I think the best way to look at the 2019 Jan 18 $TSLA options open interest is...
Nothing to do just nod yes to what Elon saysNicely done, Larry! Apparently you CAN fool most of the people some of the time.
Cheers!

Can’t design a car for everyone, so perhaps modelY will have optionMine too. Lots of people in Sweden wont buy a Model 3 without a towing hook. There have been early hints from Elon that it's coming but I haven't heard anything lately and the option isn't available when ordering.
Ps. A road bike shouldn't be left out in the dirt and rain. Keep it inside the car where it's dry and warm.
The other is what technical approach they're taking to manage 350kW charging on high energy-density cells.
Microsoft acquired Sysinternals.com and all its assets in July 2006, rebranding it Winternals.com
Prediction: Porsche hacking becomes a thing.
So maybe Porsche is betting that owners of the Taycan will not mind the more frequent replacements (or upgrades) of the battery pack...
Strong disagree. As long as republicans are right-wing party friendly to business, they will be inherently hostile to - among other things - anything involving protection and care for environment, since these are unfriendly for business (incurring costs that could be avoidable, just dump that *sugar* into soil, air and water - all hail negative externalities!). They will resist and oppose anything in this direction as much as possible.Since I expect U.S. conservatives to be one of the greenest parties in 10 years (once the influence of coal and oil billionaires fades in the GOP), it's perhaps the first signs of much needed reform.
Yeah, and communism is cool moneyless utopia.There's no fundamental conflict between conservatism and environmentalism: "conservation of nature" is "conservative" in the purest sense of the word.
Working for Tesla does have its perks. I expect nothing less than a gangbusters 4Q for TSLA.New Elon email leaked:

They are pushing inventory in Q4 hard for employees beta testing HW3: free EAP and FSD ($8k off) and $5k reduction for premium interior.
After incentives the net cost of the MR car is $30k (!). I expect all these cars gone within the hour.![]()
