TSLA Investor Discussions

We ran into a brick wall today at the 80-day average (which has caused us trouble in the past). I thought for sure we'd break it this time considering how easily we handled the last two lines of resistance, but the news out of Spain was just perfectly timed to turn us around.

I suspect now we will return to the 50 or 200 day averages to regroup and gather more steam before making another run at it. This means we could very well see the stock at ~$30.50 before we see $35. If it happens tomorrow, I might dip my hand in the cookie jar one last time. =)

Let's hope your right!

I'm confident it will double.

Just don't know in which week.

On the bright side, more smart money got in today with good volume.

Tomorrow should be hot since it's the last session before the big event. And talking about hot, we are dying out there, 35 degrees Celsius under the shade, it's so humid, you could drink the air.

The smart money (informed people) are getting back-in. Regular folks will start entering on Monday if the news is powerful enough. It'll be interesting to watch.

I am not exaggerating tomorrow's event significance. I am thinking out loud.

What I am saying is "What if..."

If it does not happen, I'll keep my shares and forget. I'm in for the long run.

But. Be ready for the "What if".

Of course I hope you're right. It shoots up above 50 or more and then drops back to 30 where I can re-buy more.

2. Press/Media will get some test drives, even if it's only 10 minutes Jalponik, and that is going to result in reviews and press coverage.

While there may be the possibility that a member of the media might get a 10-minute test drive, it's far from certain. Tesla is seriously putting customers at the head of the test driving line. Cars for media won't be available until near the end of summer.

3) possible announcement from Elon on charging plan

There will be no Supercharger announcement on Friday.

There will be no Supercharger announcement on Friday.

Where did you get that from?

While there may be the possibility that a member of the media might get a 10-minute test drive, it's far from certain. Tesla is seriously putting customers at the head of the test driving line. Cars for media won't be available until near the end of summer.

This was covered in other threads but from Jalopnik.com on June 14th:

We heard from a source familiar with the drives that Tesla was scheduling press events for later this month with certain publications. These drives would be no longer than ten minutes a piece. This, following Tesla drives where select outlets were only allowed to ride in the car.

When we asked Tesla about this, they didn't deny it. Here's what spokesperson Christina Ra said:

There is a handful of media that we've invited for a preview drive of Model S later this month. The timing and constraints are driven by multiple factors, including when these vehicles will be produced, and other activities that we have slated for them. In typical Tesla fashion, we're doing a lot with very little.

In other areas it has also been suggested that the drives for Journo's will be this weekend.

As excited as I am about Friday's event. I believe the noticeable impact will come next week when the media put pen to paper. There will be a flurry of articles (covering Tesla and the event) on Monday and Tuesday, like we have never seen before. In the aftermath of those articles, we'll see positive stock movement (Tues. - Thurs.). For the rest of the automotive industry, the bar was just raised so high, they can't even see it. People will be going into dealerships saying "show me a car that doesn't use gas, and has a 160 mile range". Wish I could be a fly on the wall for that!

It'll be icing on the cake when they find out that Elon is the same guy whos' company built a rocket that resupplied the International Space Station, then safely brought experiments back to earth. "Of course he can make the best EVs anyone has ever dreamed of".
