    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Wait until the SP returns to your cost basis and you won't owe any tax when you sell.

    Foundation Series - Canada

    So, I received the email today that I am eligible to Order a Foundation Series Cybertruck. Selected the Dual Motor option, but when it came time to complete, it would not allow a Canadian Postal Code. I put in a California code where my company has an office in order to complete the order, but...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Longtime lurker, first time poster - in this thread. I have been having some moderate success in selling CC's over the years, but have gotten a bit more aggressive lately. Not the best time to get more aggressive given the recent price action, but I believe I have saved myself some grief by...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I can't believe the relative neutrality of the SP at the moment. One of the most boring AH sessions so far. This ER was incredible for those in the know. As soon as I saw the EPS, I immediately was trying to think of who was the closest within the community and it was close. Once again, this...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    The quality of posts in this thread has suddenly increased in a manner that mirrors some of the brighter days of TSLA. I take this not as an omen, but a reminder of why I remain a dedicated investor when times are tough . Thank you.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Not my first rodeo. I closed some CC's at the peak this morning... so I don't pretend to actually know anything, but I am not surprised by where we are today. I'm sure we'll see the SP rise at the most unassuming time in the near future.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I never stated I was unhappy, I am very happy. I'm just not convinced the Market is going to respond the way people think. I'm not selling anything, simply commenting on the short term Market response.

    While this is certainly a beat, I'm curious to see how the market actually reacts. As in tomorrow, when the SP drops because everyone thought a beat should have taken it up. We've all been down this road before. I'm happy they beat as a miss could have resulted in a precipitous Netflix drop, but...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I don't have time for the whole thing, but in my head, I was thinking "Do what works for you." and that's all that needs to be said. Why some people here advertise their strategy so frequently and sometimes vehemently is beyond me as it likely only works for them based on experience, risk...

    I think this was said on the previous ER. Tesla is making the Model 3/Y more compelling at the same price point as inflation/average vehicle prices drift upwards.

    Have you tried holding a tablet in front of your car's cameras to see if it can parse the FSD posts and make a determination on the progress? o_O Staying on topic, nice to see TSLA up today, seems to be tracking ~1x the Nasdaq (edit: was, but falling now) but lagging all the other EV's? I...

    I wanted to chime in and echo this. I joined this board in my early 20's and had basically zero investing experience or knowledge. Had I known then what I know now, I would have easily retired last year, but that's not what I focus on. I'm still wildly ahead in terms of where my day job alone...

    Maybe it's me, but this looks more like a hostage/ransom request than a take on a Share price.

    I love this place, but I find that if you take about 20% of the expectation off the top, you will land exactly where the actual presentation does. I've completed a lot of lines on the TMC Bingo card, but never an X or entire card.

    What is happening here is a pretty common operation in my world. The trucks are bringing in material to allow the excavators/bulldozers to build out a working pad in the marshy area. You can easily observe the existing soil is highly saturated and the ground water elevation is quite high. It...

    If there was one thing I could wish for on this board, it would be the ability to respond to criticism half as eloquently and decisively as some members can. I feel there is a free value-add in this forum I haven't seen anywhere else, where you can witness what is likely decades of experience in...

    Totally O/T, but back in late 2017, I was driving just outside this town on the ring road, at night (It was December) in wind that was gusting to 125 km/hr (there is a handy website where you can track the weather around the island) Anyway, a Land Rover Defender driving immediately in front of...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I kind of understand your point, but I feel this was perhaps more relevant in the early days of the S where something like a big increase in range, second motor or some other substantial improvement would make for a totally different car. I would argue the current product is already...

    I think this was asked a few days ago, not sure if it got a response. I would speculate it's part of the regular facility and is for a hill hold/brake test, or possibly some other sensor verification such as washer fluid level, or for calibrating inclination. I don't think it is for "jet...

    In a world of fleeting attention spans and texting slang, it would be very 2022 of Ford to release a misspelled model name.

    As someone pointed out a few days ago, proper grammar and spelling seem to be a thing of the past as it concerns news outlets. I want to know who "The Information" is and how I can obtain this status. "Do you have the information?" "I am The Information."

    I consider myself a Technical Analysis neophyte at absolute best, but "The Stocks Channel" (thanks to other who have linked his videos several times) tells me that $625 is the resistance test we should be watching, and if that falls, it's off to $660+ 09:35 in This price action is...

    I have set my positions and expectations accordingly. My frustration centers around my own personal situation where I no longer have years to wait for the momentum to build, P/E to drop and all the good things to fall into place. While I'm fortunate to have been around for the run-up, I don't...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Such a heartbreaking stock to hold. I don't have much to add here, just watching my portfolio slowly get eroded every day hoping that the winds will change, but never do. I still haven't ventured into Put buying, as history has taught me to stay in my lane as far as Options trading goes. Selling...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I find this true in a hilarious manner: The frontal angularity of the cybertruck is rather stealth-like in appearance, and probably wouldn't generate much of a radar signature when compared to an F150 which largely resembles a brick. If the history of stealth technology has taught the losers...

    I really liked this too, and thought about it a bit more and legitimately wondered if the "EV" slice is existing owners upgrading to new Teslas? The graph doesn't indicate if this is the case and with the share price runup, it can't be a trivial number of owners upgrading.
