355 for a hot second there!

"Continuing to target Model 3 production rate of 5,000/wk by Q2 end"

All I needed to hear!

 

[Jayjs20]

338 > 342 > 339 > 345 > 348

And supposedly 355 for a moment. Guess it's one of those ERs where people can't make up their mind.

Looks like my Iron Condor is landing ok...

 

[Bobbyducati]

356! and almost 357

quite the tug-o-war going on

The low number was one of the weird trades at the end of the day that offsets a trade during the day. It happens every day almost where there is a single trade at the lowest or highest amount during the day.. it always makes a V on the graph, but is not a real trade in terms of setting the current price.

The call will be interesting, but noting crazy in the docs. Only 200 mil in extra Reservations is interesting. Expected more or I do expect more over time.

As if we didn't have enough roller-coaster action this week already Buckle-up!!

Look pretty positive, but it's a bit cagey too. I would have liked to see some semi reservation numbers, f.i. just a guide.

I love this: In stores where Model 3 is on display, customer foot traffic has increased considerably and orders for Model S and Model X have in fact increased. There has been an even bigger increase in solar and Powerwall sales.

As shares are returned after voting, wouldn't that cause additional liquidity on SP?

 

[RobStark]

Cash balance of $3.4B entering Q1 2018

 

[TrendTrader007]

Anytime I get that excited I usually end up disappointed. I'm rooting for us though!

well looks like both of us are gonna make some $ tonight
great job Jonathan!

 

[dandurston]

Hmm.....seems like a mixed bag to me.

Good:
- cash balance (3.4B)
- reiterate M3 ramp guidance and margin
- +300% growth in TE for 2018 guidance
- coast to coast drive in 2018 is mentioned

Bad:
- surprisingly low Semi/Roadster deposits
- TE margin is way down (5% from 25%)
- wording on the M3 ramp makes it sound like they are preparing us for another delay

Overall, it looks like really strong guidance with underwhelming execution.

I believe the BOLD has just begun. There will be very little demand issues with S/X for the foreseeable future. It will be interesting to see how Tesla deals with the lack of tax credits after 200k+ deliveries in the US, but they have some mighty nice levers to pull. Including free supercharging, 2170 and refresh.

Millionaire, Billionaire or Trillionaire?

lemme put it this way every single dollar this stock moves I can buy or sell a Tesla model S

 

[TrendTrader007]

7 Tesla Model S so far afterhours

 

[TrendTrader007]

down to 6.5 MS

 

[Duffer]

15 minutes to go
can't wait
this evening could be a life changing event for me from a financial standpoint

Going "Wolf of Wall Street" on us? Seriously, I hope your positions bear fruit.

As for myself, I don't have the dry powder ready for tomorrow's dip (presuming the Shorts will be out in force). No issue, I'll just catch the next trough.

P100D or just the plain old 75D?

 

[DaveT]

I think we gap up tomorrow and break ATHs by end of next week.

All I needed to hear!

I wish there was more certainty in the language than just continuing to target those production rates. It seems they really still don't know quite when they will get there.

If I'm reading the report correctly, definitely no need for a capital raise this year. Cash $3.4 Billion, and they expect to begin generating positive quarterly operating income on a sustained basis this year. To me that is the most important thing in that letter. If the SP drops this week, people need their heads examined.
