    I'll have some anecdotal evidence for myself when I go to pick up my Quicksilver Y on Saturday.

    You’re forgetting about all of the excess production from Q1. Tesla could lower production rates materially (and they definitely are lowering production rates and laying off corresponding workers) and the excess inventory still more than accounts for that Look at China. There’s rumors that...

    Based on the inventory trackers, that's not going to be the case for the rest of Q2 after the .99% promo. If anything the .99% promo may come back in mid Q3.

    I would argue pretty representative actually. 2020-2022 was all about it becoming clear to the market that Tesla was going to be the leader in EV's and do it profitably even though it felt apart because of multiple reasons that we all know. Tesla solving and monetizing autonomy in a big way...

    Yeah I was talking about the period of Q4 2022 prior to the OpenAI announcement. Before that, it was all talk of crypto demand waning and demand for Nvidia gaming GPU's being low. Yes a bunch of stocks were down.....Nvidia was down materially more than the big tech companies were with the...

    I think some forget how hated Nvidia was as a stock literally days before the ChatGP moment. It rallied 50% in the matter of 2 months before any of the growth it's been experiencing hit the actual earnings.

    Just boils down to what your investment thesis is for TSLA. DLL's post is completely accurate for that Nvidia/TSLA comparison...based on both companies current core businesses today. The next 2-3 years for Nvidia is the continuation of it's current core business and while on a very impressive...

    Yes Europe is the only territory that’s tracking worse than Q1, but it’s the smallest of the 3 markets. The other 2, larger territories are showing material better numbers than Q1. Things like the Norway price cuts are immaterial because their small %..especially if prices are stable in the...

    Feels like you’re letting negative bias cloud some data. China is 15% ahead of Q1 and that’s before the 0% or $0 down incentive started. Model Y US inventory has dropped dramatically since the .9% was announced and I’d venture to say it will remain low for June. Model 3 refresh is finally...

    Man I would be over the moon for this scenario to play out. Could reload/add to my CC’s in a heavy way this summer now that time decay has really wiped out most of the value of the CC’s I sold back in summer of 2023 since they expire in mid to late 2024 and I would be in a much stronger...

    Since when is a .9% after hours move something to talk about? I don’t even think you could say it got “rejected” because after hours trading volume is immaterial to regular trading hours volume

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    I don’t know why it’s all the surprising about how the stock is trading. Q1 earnings reactions and I should say (the flush of shareholders wanting out selling before Q1 earnings) has simply reset why anyone would hold shares nowadays….autonomy. Most shareholders today are holding because of...

    The fact that it’s going up intraday makes the dynamic different though than TSLA opening higher and then selling off to mark the near term high Intraday rallies with volume have more substance

    Will be my only response as to not go too far into the weeds. But the way I understand it (and someone correct me if I'm wrong), the data captured by the fleet isn't useful but the platform, including the NN's and the hardware, is entirely from FSD. They're essentially using the FSD platform...

    The fear of Elon taking AI elsewhere has quite a bit of FUD attached to it. Could he take the Optimus team with him? Sure. He can't take the actual hardware and progress that's been made. But he can take the minds. As for FSD, this is where the FUD is. There's simply no way that Elon can take...

    Makes sense and it logical. But at the same time, Tesla is playing with fire here in that they're asking disgruntled shareholders to re-approve a pay package without offering a carrot to help those disgruntled shareholders to help swallow their pride. Again I think it's just in the poorest...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    One thing I think Tesla made a mistake on, and maybe this isn't legally possible, but they should have announced a new pay package that would also get voted, with much higher target's for Elon to hit (like say a 3 trillion dollar valuation) and say that in order for this pay package to go...

    Seeing quite a few hardcore Tesla Twitter bulls selling some of their positions out of fear of the vote not going Tesla's way and Elon packing up and leaving. I wonder if some of the big boy funds that own TSLA are intentionally waiting to cast their votes to create some uncertainty and doubt...

    It's Rueters....so you always take it with a biased view from them. Like, exactly how old are those comments from Robyn? In the text of the article the way it dates certain things, seems like her words are from a month ago which tells us absolutely nothing about the status of the vote.

    Yeah I hate the Twitter buy and his antics over the past couple of years but people had plenty of opportunity to unload their shares at above the target goal for Elon's compensation plan over the past 1-2 years. He delivered on his end and should get his pay. I find it to be in the poorest taste...

    Yeah absolutely. The current set up/dynamic with so many variables (both potential good and bad) is making me so unsure of the right play here that I'm just going to be sitting on my hands until after Q2 when clarity will be much more clear (Q2 out of the way, shareholders vote out of the way, 3...

    I don't necessarily agree with the notion that it has to be a "non-existent" catalyst. It could be catalyst that are known but that the market won't pay attention until the catalyst actually happens. FSD could be the gift that keeps on giving *PROVIDED Tesla keeps showing big progress. Any...

    When we're in a monthly options expiration week and TSLA goes counter to the macro's for no reason, that's almost always the cause. Just taking a quick look at the open interest, the gameplan becomes pretty clear, to me at least....Cap TSLA mid week to prevent any meaningful breakout over 175...

    The issue though is the pace of meaningful progress has slowed (relatively). 12.4 with actual smart summon and reverse was supposed to be out this time last month. Tesla’s gotta keep coming out with big updates on a consistent pace for Wall St to keep applying more valuation. If what Elons is...

    Side anecdotal note. I'm actually moving on this offer. Wife's Honda lease ends in a month. We were going to buy out the lease since our milage is so low. Wanted to just sell it and get her a Y but no way was I paying 7-9% (on excellent credit rating) on a car loan to get the Y. Probably will...

    Lol I will be long gone out of TSLA before 1,300/share hits. My divesting plan has me completely out of TSLA by 600/share. If I wanted to spread my tranches out a bit more because say FSD knocks it out of the park, could get to 750 when the last tranche would be sold off/called away. As it is...

    Just reading up on it, seems like market is responding to his comments on QT, they're shrinking their balance sheet at a slower pace going forward. So Fed's is actually starting the process (slowly) of easing conditions even if they're not cutting rates yet. I predict this is the signal that...

    A hedgies wet dream and a potential nightmare for short term options traders/sellers. The stress some of you guys that are heavily in the weekly/monthlies is not something I envy at all. I fully expect Wall St to use FSD progress/catalyst to push/drop the stock in dramatic ways over the next...

    They love to promote the HOLD strategy while ignoring that life/stuff happens that requires cash/capital.

    I don't think it's going to be smooth sailing. Even if there's no accidents on FSD, there will be plenty of biased articles, hit pieces, and FUD. It'll be a constant tug of war between FSD progress, FSD announcements like the licensing deal, etc.. vs the FUD and/or any negative FSD related...

    I'd imagine 200 is going to be tough resistance so I could see it stalling there until the shareholders meeting in a month and a half.

    This weekend is the exact type of scenario that I’ve been calling out as the reason I won’t play short term options with TSLA this low. FSD and any news related to FSD can cause an immediate rally that will disconnect short term fundamentals and valuation.

    Earnings weren’t as bad as predicted and the earnings call gave multiple positive updates 🤷. Seems like a rather reasonable reaction to me. I think it’s simply that all investors that were into TSLA for the combination a healthy auto business + FSD potential are now out of the stock. Anyone...
