Thanks Johan (and Citizen-T). I'm embarrassed to say I recall that now that I see it in front of me again.

Cool. Didn't have to do any work and still got credit. That's my kind of question.

Motley Fool recommended Tesla in a second of their newsletters today, which may account for todays rise starting at noon.

Accelerating demand and first Canadian store opening might also have made an impact. What I would wish for next is Tesla announcing that they have achieved 400/week production and that they'll increase it to 800/week to cope with extreme demand

Just an update from Tesla On the number of cars delivered would provide a boost I think. Unless it was a low number of course

[agileone]

But my question is how would someone (Elon and other big shareholder) go about actually "demanding the shares" [back] from short sellers?

My understanding to protect your shares from being "lended" by your broker is this :
I believe in the States, it is called DRS, Direct Registration System. It (virtually) moves the registration of the shares to your name in book entry form, instead of leaving under your broker names where such games as naked short selling happens... Simpler than taking delivery of a physical certificate and easier if you ever want to sell them.

I think getting to 400 reservations a week is already happening
Now just the factory must follow

[Robert.Boston]

This influx of reservations = influx of cash (even if isn't GAAP revenue). All to the good towards making TM cash positive this quarter.

This is the short squeeze fyi

Darn. Now you've jinxed it. Everyone kept quiet since last Saturday and it's been creeping up. Now it'll crash again. (I hope not!!!)

P.S. But I hope you're right.
