TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

[SMAlset]

He does sound tired and bored at times.

CNBC guys on today's shows were saying they think he should ask now even if they don't need it. But admitted that Tesla doesn't seem to have any trouble finding money.

I am assuming he's short on sleep and high on stress level.

I'll take a leader and visionary over some executive who prattles on about the status quo.

Did Elon just casually drop the bombshell that they are going to announce the China Gigafactory soon lol

Yeah, that was nice!

Is Wall St. having a hissy fit because Elon hung up on a couple of them and are giving the YouTube guy so much time? Stock just tanking...

I think it's more the change in working capital and the lack of explanation on filling the cash hole.

We are on accidents now. Says they are seeing a steady increase in people using Autopilot. 1/3-1/2 highway mileage in some regions are on autopilot. Then press runs stories and it drops off. He's really upset by how it gets people to turn it off because they know it makes driving safer. Confirmed that have weathered the dips in Autopilot in the news.

Safety statistics will be published on a quarterly basis.

That's much needed given the ferocious media focus on Tesla, and should be helpful for reversing the negativity.

I'm gonna second Ben Kallo from Baird on updates when we hit the next 1K mark. Ah, Elon just sorta hat-tipped the Bloomberg M3 tracker. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

HELL YEAH SCREW DAY TRADERS! Could we please nuke High Frequency Trading from fricking orbit already?

 

[SMAlset]

Not interested in day traders. Please don't buy it.

 

[Fiver]

Heh, the tone of analyst question has changed after the YouTuber.. Moral of the story, don't piss off Elon during Q&A if you want an answer.

Or somehow frame your question about financials into a physics question at the same time.

Elon: “I am not here to convince you to buy our stock. Do not buy it if volatility is scary.”

 

[SMAlset]

Definite change. I was wondering if anyone was still hanging in there but sounds like some are out there still on the call. And more interesting questions for him to spend his time answering.

 

[Tenable]

I love

Elon: “I am not here to convince you to buy our stock. Do not buy it if volatility is scary.”

I love Elon, I'm not loving this CC.

 

[UnknownSoldier]

LMAO

"If you are concerned about volatility, don't buy our stock."

Elon has no time for this crap. However he more or less just publicly acknowledged that VIN registration tracking (read: the Bloomberg tracker) is accurate with about a week delay. So I guess his answer is no...and yes. Because they will continue to only register VINs as they need them.

 

[Waiting4M3]

CEO is having a meltdown in a CC. How is that positive? Truly incredible. You guys happen to know Enrons fine Jeff Skilling?

You really have no idea why people like Elon, do you?

 

[SMAlset]

Over and out.

VA? You actually liked this CC and would want a repeat next Q? I must be viewing things very differently than the other bulls here. Some nice info, a lot of wasted time, terrible packaging.
