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

    Hopefully Elon will increase his donation to 1,000,420. You know... for the trees.

    Arrived for delivery, car didn't match paperwork (wrong color)

    Wasn't me. Honestly I don't know if they've done anything to escalate it. It was late Friday and me ISA didn't call me back yet. Will hopefully talk to him Monday.

    Arrived for delivery, car didn't match paperwork (wrong color)

    Had my delivery scheduled for Friday afternoon. I arrived and went through signing paperwork, then went to see the car. I walked into a room with about 10 or so cars lined up, and only one Midnight Silver, so I started walking over to it. My delivery associate grabbed my attention and...

    Elon's Bromance with Cheeto Jesus

    Seriously THIS. It's exactly the same as "Obummer" and all the other juvenile epithets that were disparagingly used against Pres. Obama. When a reader sees this insulting term, they immediately focus on that and forget about the rest of your message.

    Articles re Tesla—Fact or Fiction?

    This is very helpful. From a carbon standpoint for ICE I would think you would also need to somehow account for the carbon emitted by the various drilling processes and transportation from well to refinery, no? Then there's the whole matter of cleanup costs for spills during the production...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    I'm not sure why you disliked my post. My point was that Elon's margin loans are around 5% of his net worth, which is why the margin call issue that Cosmacelf was referring to is unlikely, IMO. I provided the FUDish article as the source of my 5% number.

    Please refer to Elon Musk Supports His Business Empire With Unusual Financial Moves "He said his loans aren’t risky to shareholders because they add up to less than 5% of his total net worth, which exceeds $10 billion. That figure doesn’t include Mr. Musk’s large stake in SpaceX, which is...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    I don't have the quote handy but I'm pretty sure Elon's words were that Tesla's goal is to achieve 500k annual run rate in 2018, not necessarily that 2018 production would be 500k.

    I'm curious when the fault was discovered. I think this is one of the "critical parts shortage" that was referred to in the 4/4 vehicle delivery report that slowed Model X ramp deliveries in Jan and Feb. "The root causes of the parts shortages were: Tesla's hubris in adding far too much new...

    If true, this puzzles me a little, actually. There's a reason manufacturers generally buy from tool and die suppliers rather than make them in-house. Granted Tesla is not like most manufacturers and maybe this particular acquisition contains more synergies than are apparent, but it seems a...

    Newbie Options Trading

    I asked a similar question earlier, but this is a situation I'm facing now with a fairly DITM call that is up quite a bit. If I sell the option, I would have to pay short term capital gains on the profit. I'm considering exercising instead and holding the stock to avoid this.

    Newbie Options Trading

    I have a DITM Jan '15 call that's up quite a bit. If I roll out, I'm guessing I'll have to pay short-term capital gains on the sell leg? I'm considering just exercising it to avoid that. When you exercise a position, does the cost basis include the premium paid for the option? This is all in...

    I made the switch to IB from Merrill about a month ago, but I'm discovering that it takes 5 business days to move money into the account using an ACH transfer. Is this normal?

    What we know thus far, when do you think Gen 3 will actually be delivered?

    I agree with DaveT's assertion that the Model X delays were strategic decisions rather than execution errors. Also keep in mind that with Model X they added a lot of complexity to the car design (AWD, Falcon doors) that should either already be mostly solved or won't be an issue at all for Gen...

    I understood that to mean that it's necessary to do the capital raise now in order to complete the GigaFactory in three years. If they're willing to let the gigafactory timeline slide longer, then a capital raise is not necessary.
