This is exactly what happened to Joshua Brown a month before he got killed in an accident - his Tesla saved him from a truck that was changing lanes without realizing there was a car next to it

I'm sorry for the off-topic, but is this why I just got an email from the TradeKing offering me to lend my shares for both TSLA and SCTY? The numbers are quite good (~0.03% of my position PER DAY). Is there a risk associated with it? Is anyone here doing it with his shares?

2009 Acura TSX. I love the car and it runs great, but still can't wait for my Tesla :)

Fantastic! Go SpaceX! They are doing to the launch industry what Tesla is doing to the auto industry...

I reminded one of my friends about the reservation the day before it started, and he decided not to reserve. However, he did reserve when he heard there are already 276K people in line :) 350005

3 more are on the way there (I guess I was talking about Tesla too much to my tennis buddies over the past years :))

37 years old. 30 months.

+1. Just added more shares at $11.06 to my already sizable JASO position.

I agree with that, Tesla is getting tons of very positive publicity, people are being educated about Tesla's superb distribution and service models, so it is essentially a blessing in disguise.

Is anyone aware of any other petitions that might help with this issue? Let's cross-link them on reddit / news sites while the public is outraged with the NJ decision.

That's more than a 15% increase, not bad :)

Auzie - great story, thanks for sharing! optimus - wow, you have some serious balls!

Why wouldn't people like Elon Musk, Larry Page, Sergei Brin or Peter Gates just give LPP those two millions that they need for the next few years? :) Looks like LPP is really efficient with the money they are spending. Apart from solving the energy needs of humankind and minimizing our impact on...

It is addictive, indeed :) That was just a lottery ticket in hopes of getting the NHTSA announcement this week - it didn't happen, but luckily I still got away with it. Was totally expecting to lose it all without the announcement.

Just made my first profitable options trade - sold today's 180 for $3.15 for a 100% profit (bought them on Wednesday). Looks like TSLA's price keeps creeping up, so I might regret selling it, but anyway, sold for a profit :)

I had this exact idea this morning and even sent an email to Tesla suggesting it. Then, of course, I realized that someone must have thought about it already, googled for keywords and ended up right here :)

Done with the theory, but I need to get a better feel for the prices. If anyone can disclose what their hedging positions are (ideally with the reasoning behind it), that would be great! I'm thinking of getting a protective $100 put Dec 17th for $1.70, as I'm most worried about the continuation...

Thanks for the advice! I guess I will be doing research on this, although I had other plans for the night :)

This is exactly what I am planning on doing (I wish I had done it after the first fire), any suggestions on what the best strategy for hedging TSLA gains would be? I had very little exposure to options, usually I'm the "buy and hold" guy, but Tesla's unwillingness to help its stock price makes...

Check out tapatalk app - it is awesome (actually typing this message on it). Makes it following forums on the go super convenient.

+1. Even though solar was one of my first investments back in 2009-2011 (I guess it speaks about my research skills, but at the time I was sure that the recession is over and it's time to get in), it ended badly and I didn't look back until I started reading TMC's investor forums regularly. It's...

Thanks for the explanation, FANGO! I actually had no idea that the demand is already bigger than supply. While this is great for manufacturers and for the industry in general, this means that we are not approaching grid parity while prices stay high - but of course this is just a temporary thing...

I am stealing this from the Short-Term TSLA Price Movements Thread: Please help me understand, something does not check out here - why have the solar panel prices have bottomed in q4 2012, given that there are so many manufacturers and their costs still go down? Everything seems to confirm...

I will be test driving it this Saturday, too (King of Prussia, PA)

Thanks DaveT, Norse, JGard, and sleepyhead. I definitely prefer a "buy and hold" strategy and I do tend to stick with winners (have been riding Tesla stock since $30), and you have just reassured me that there is nothing inherently wrong with SCTY so I'm keeping it, too :) Going to sell some of...

Is the general consensus here is that the stock will dip again? Looks like there is a lot of love here for the Chinese manufacturers but not for SCTY, do you think their business model is not that good or that the company is overvalued?

I did the same, sold at 85 and re-bought at 95. Decided to just enjoy the run since then and wait till it's around $300 :)
