@tivoboy Fascinated with options strategies -- can you explain how scaling would work in this context in a little more detail? Can I take that to mean picking up options deeper OTM as the underlying stock price rises?
Watch you say my friend, the Apple Cup is fast approaching!
Go COUGS!
(Actually I like 'em both... when they're playing other teams that is ;-)
P.S., Love the urinal...

That would be quite ironic considering Ford was offered VW for nothing back in 1948.
Ford Could Have Paid Nothing To Own VW After World War II

Looks like there was a response (via reddit):
Tesla says has not received subpoena on Model 3 production | Reuters
So here is there 10/2/2017 deliveries report statement:
Q3 production totaled 25,336 vehicles, with 260 of them being Model 3. Model 3 production was less than anticipated due to production bottlenecks. Although the vast majority of manufacturing subsystems at both our California car plant and our Nevada Gigafactory are able to operate at high rate, a handful have taken longer to activate than expected.
It is important to emphasize that there are no fundamental issues with the Model 3 production or supply chain. We understand what needs to be fixed and we are confident of addressing the manufacturing bottleneck issues in the near-term.
and the same Q press release:It is important to emphasize that there are no fundamental issues with the Model 3 production or supply chain. We understand what needs to be fixed and we are confident of addressing the manufacturing bottleneck issues in the near-term.
To date, our primary production constraint has been in the battery module assembly line at Gigafactory 1, where cells are packaged into modules. Four modules are packaged into an aluminum case to form a Model 3 battery pack. The combined complexity of module design and its automated manufacturing process has taken this line longer to ramp than expected. The biggest challenge is that the first two zones of a four zone process, key elements of which were done by manufacturing systems suppliers, had to be taken over and significantly redesigned by Tesla. We have redirected our best engineering talent to fine-tune the automated processes and related robotic programming, and we are confident that throughput will increase substantially in upcoming weeks and ultimately be capable of production rates significantly greater than the original specification.
While we continue to make significant progress each week in fixing Model 3 bottlenecks, the nature of manufacturing challenges during a ramp such as this makes it difficult to predict exactly how long it will take for all bottlenecks to be cleared or when new ones will appear. Based on what we know now, we currently expect to achieve a production rate of 5,000 Model 3 vehicles per week by late Q1 2018, recognizing that our production growth rate is like a stepped exponential, so there can be large forward jumps from one week to the next. We will provide an update when we announce Q4 production and delivery numbers in the first few days of January. With respect to the timing for producing 10,000 units per week, it has always been our intention to implement that capacity addition after we have achieved a 5,000 per week run rate. That will enable us to make the next generation of automation even better while making our capex spend significantly more efficient.
Neither of which seem unreasonably stated. What is the actual worst statement in regard to possible infraction? If the 20k in December was only referenced back in June/July and then dropped that seems perfectly reasonable to me.While we continue to make significant progress each week in fixing Model 3 bottlenecks, the nature of manufacturing challenges during a ramp such as this makes it difficult to predict exactly how long it will take for all bottlenecks to be cleared or when new ones will appear.

Yeah, that's a Market Maker enforcing the closing price at $330.90 so Max Pain was worth a $76.1M buy order in the final second of trading.
Market manipulation is a thing. Eight billion dollars changed hands today in TSLA.
Can you elaborate for this noob pls Lodger.
Why is $330.x versus $329.9x so significant?
Is it a psychological thing or is some step function at play?
I think you meant they're in recess until Nov 13th, at which point they'd be back in session?
So if it's available and either of you have time over the weekend can you check what's new in the amended complaint filed 9/28? I also see Tesla filed a motion on October 1 and the judge granted it on 10/3.
I can't access the files though plus my US legal understanding goes as far as courtroom TV dramas...

I don't know, but I can guess. I watch late-night TV, and am subjected to a parade of [inane] car ads. Every time I see one, as I hit the mute, I think "These guys are so f***ed," and I wonder what a Tesla ad would look like in the same time slot. I think that impulse is strong here.
Today we have seen a very strong performance of Tesla. Against all overall negative market sentiment, recession fear and macros the stock found only one direction and that was up.
Even when WSJ/Reuters tried their old FUD approach the stock dipped sharp and short and changed course still in the green just to establish a new upward trend.
Be assured that each of this FUD attacks make the SP more resilient against the next one and asking me its the last the shorts have left. So with every failed attempt the next one will be even more shallow.
Shorts lost control today. If no substantial bad news appear this weekend be it macro or Tesla related we can fairly assume that another strong week is ahead of us.

I would welcome such an ad not so much to stoke demand as an opportunity to showcase Tesla’s mission, goals and accomplishments. To shape and control their own narrative in front of a very large audience around the world.

Not even to mention vehicles that don't get tuneups, or don't get oil changes until their rings get worn.

Max pain for today's Options expiries is at the $330 strike/closing price:
Max pain, or the max pain price, is the strike price with the most open contract puts and calls - and the price at which the stock would cause financial losses for the largest number of option holders at expiration.
