I remember last time we were hovering around 250, on the way up, trading was light, stock was flat, and I guessed it would continue that way until ER (and sold 270 calls, followed by a massive run up).
Trading these days feels very similar to that time.... I think 250 is a "neutral spot" at this moment. Maybe the bank(s) buying into the cap raise know this is a natural happy spot to do it.
I believe $242 was 2 raises ago. Prior raise was at $215. I do agree they probably want $250+, though.Well, part of my assumption about $250 pinning by bankers is that prior Cap Raise round was under $242. If TSLA is below that price, then a new round is once again a "down round". Generally, "down rounds" aren't favorable to the company or investors. Better to have all Cap Raise rounds at incrementally higher stock price.

This is an interesting article about how, maybe, BMW "gets it" with regards to the path Tesla has set for the automotive future. Oc course it really serves to highlight how far behind they are, but then again this puts them light years ahead of Ford, FCA, and basically any Japanese manufacturer.

Question.... The assumption is the 250 pin is a result of an external force, keeping it there while the cap raise is happening? Then why the low volume? If there was an external force applying up or down pressure, wouldn't that cause more volume as opposed to less?
This feels like a general lack of interest on both the longs and the shorts to change positions.... IDK, I'm just learning as I go, a cap raise announcement won't surprise me!
Well.. cap raise by equity issuance isn't the only option. Is it?
I'm pretty certain that up and down rounds are based on market cap, not stock price. If that's correct this would be a larger up round than you are thinking.Well, part of my assumption about $250 pinning by bankers is that prior Cap Raise round was under $242. If TSLA is below that price, then a new round is once again a "down round". Generally, "down rounds" aren't favorable to the company or investors.

Electric car manufacturer Tesla, Inc. is supplying batteries to Los Angeles area network that will serve Edison International, to create the largest storage facility in the world if no one builds a bigger one by 2020 when it’s slated to be completed. The facility will be able to deliver 360 mw/h to the grid for a full day on short notice.
Why do you think they need 2.4B+?There is doubt that bonds could go out large enough to the need. They need 2.4B or more this time around. A convertible might be possible but enormous hedging fees again, if they went that route.
Looks like we have a large TE project we were waiting for coming up, complements of Edison International. The author, of course, had committed the usual butchering act with power/energy units. If the project size (largest in the world so far) 360MWh, it would be able to deliver 15MW for a day. However, given the long lead timeline of 2020 mentioned in the article, it can be envisioned that it could be much bigger project, and the author really meant 360MW/h for a day, which would be 8.64MWh project ! Going with the minimum of 360MWh still makes this project eclipse the AES 200MWh installation. It looks like this is one of the projects that was mulled by the Bob Rudd, VP of SolarCity development, energy storage and microgrids back in November of last year.
Meanwhile, Tesla, Inc., is supplying batteries to a Los Angeles-area network tied together in a microgrid of 100 office buildings and industrial properties. Reports the Journal:
When [Edison International] needs more electricity on its system, the batteries would be able to deliver 360 megawatt hours of extra power to the buildings and the grid, enough to power 20,000 homes for a day, on short notice. At other times, the batteries would help firms hosting the arrays to cut their utility bills.

Tesla Inc. is supplying batteries to a Los Angeles-area network that would serve Edison International, which would be the world's largest of its kind when finished in 2020, according to the developer, Advanced Microgrid Solutions. The network would spread across more than 100 office buildings and industrial properties.
