"non-GAAP automotive gross margin (excluding zero emission vehicle or ZEV credits) rose to 21% from 14% last quarter" 50% increase in gross margin is not helping the TSLA price after hours? We should probably all just go verrrrry long to filter out the silliness in this market...

Minado also has Chinese food in addition to Sushi (which is quite good for the suburbs) - it's also huge and lines should be less compared to Cheesecake Factory. On the other hand, CF is part of the mall and thus closer to the Tesla store and charging in the parking lot.

Balanced and very tech oriented with some cool diagrams of components locations in the S. "But oh, that intoxicating, addictive acceleration. I'll overlook a lot of flaws in order to feel that much instant power under my right foot." "Tesla Motors has succeeded in making an excellent...

Today TSLA was down approximately 18% from the all time high. We could go lower, but this is most likely not the beginning of the 50% drop in AAPL or the 80% drop in NFLX. We all probably wish we were better hedged but as others have said, if you want less risk go with LEAPs or stock. Or a...

This is Tirerack's category description. Check their site but these are true winter optimized tires that are one step below the extreme traction of studded snow tires.

Tirerack.com will get you ready. I drove through six New England winters in a RWD G35 coupe on Blizzaks. Just decide if you want 19" "Performance Winter" tires vs "Studless ice and snow" tires. The performance tires are more like a cold and snow optimized all season. I like the OZ wheels in 19"...

The long term fundamentals of Tesla have not changed and the announcement in Germany is encouraging because if they were struggling in the US they would not be pushing hard in a new and difficult market. Short term it is discouraging, but look at the overall market. Tesla seems to be more...

I am learning how IV and time decay can really hurt/help very short term options. For example on Friday Oct 4 when the "Fire Sale" seemed to be done and momentum had turned positive I wanted to buy calls, but with the quick drop and bounce back during the week IV was still high. However as...

Read the Tesla blog post but I think it was too late to spark a rally Friday.. I did pick up some weekly 11th of Oct $185 call right before the market close. Monday should be interesting and I would hate to be short TSLA over the weekend as this news filters out...

I also did not play it super either. But thanks to following this board and understanding how the TSLA 10 day moving average looks like a sawtooth wave that bounces off the 20 day moving average and tops out at a difference of 8-10 allowed me to hedge in a number of ways. I was predicting a...

Thanks! Not risk free (I wish), but the max gain is 550% of the small debit.

TSLA over the last few months has been a real education in options trading. I've read quite a bit on here from all the great contributors and other sources like this: http://www.optionseducation.org/strategies_advanced_concepts/strategies.html/ Today I sold my first TSLA Oct calls to create a...

Thanks to austinEV and his graphs for putting the TSLA sawtooth behavior in perspective. I had been waiting two weeks for another drop to reenter with call options at a discount. Looking forward to another beat for the Q3 ER

Thanks again guys. In addition to the great research here, some of the best info has been pointers to official Tesla info/interviews. Careful reading makes it clear that conservative guidance and great execution is going to keep this company strong for many years. I bought a few shares during...

Just some tips for FLAC which I have been using for years: FLAC is like a zip file for audio - when played back it is exactly the same as when created. However you need to start with a good source. Typically this is a CD you ripped and then each track is encoded as FLAC. Converting...

It's a great option for states that get nasty winters. Infiniti, BMW, and Merc sell tons of AWD X models in New England. Enthusiasts prefer the simpler and lighter RWD variants with maybe winter tires if you need to drive in snow. Good to have the option if you want it and makes sense...

Never - I'm part of the People's Front of Tesla - screw the TPF. On topic: how many cults actually have > 100% ROI?

On vacation and watching TSLA like a hawk. Although I feel more like a vulture - snapping up bargains on dips. I swear I get more excited on dips because I feel I have too little invested to take advantage of any pop on earnings. Regarding risk - the money in Tesla options before earnings does...

I have sat in a Model S at the Tesla store in the Natick MA mall (it is across from Victorias Secret. Well played Elon, well played. ) The store was packed, the info from staff was good and they were enthusiastic which was my check on how well the retail vs. dealer decision has worked. I had...

With a long range goal of accumulating shares and options for the earnings, I've been riding this volatility - especially at market open. Picked up some Sept $150 calls when they bottomed out this morning at $3.50 Having buy limit orders in for options that I would be happy keeping for the next...

A coworker just got his Model S - so I had to park next to it for a photo shoot. Attractive opposites: GT-R and MS
