Over the last month of March, TSLA had a strong downward trend reminiscent of November's trend, minus the fires. It seems that TSLA has been moving in conjunction with NASDAQ on the lack of news. But I think that this trend is over, and it is rally time for TSLA. I have 6 reasons for this hypothesis:
1. Norwegian/European blowout sales-According to this article (
http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/2...y-blowing-records-out-of-the-water-this-march), Norway is having a record Model S registration month, as the registrations have passed 1000 in March, compared with a previous record of 553. Here are numbers of European and Norwegian sales over the last 6 months:
The % of European deliveries that were in Norway have floated around 45% (excluding Feb). The average over the last 6 months was 51.6%, and the out of the ordinary value is ~75%. Given these numbers, if we assume that there are 1200 deliveries in Norway in March, the total European deliveries would be between 1600-2326-2667 (75%,51.6%,45%). If we take the lowest number and add up the quarterly deliveries in Europe for Q1, we would get 2462 deliveries. If we assume that US/Canada deliveries stay the same as last quarter (4296), then we will get a total of 6,758 cars delivered in Q1 and (add 1,000 in transit) 7,758 cars produced, which is 646.5 cars per week.
2. Stock Oversold, touching 50 day exponential moving average, touching bottom of Bollinger Bands, and low volume- I am not going to talk about this in detail, I will just leave this chart here.

3. China visit and demand announcement?- Musk said that will be traveling to China in late March. However, this may be postponed to early April, which is still not far from now.

4. Right hand drive 1st delivery- Elon Musk has said that right-hand drive Model S will see it's first delivery in late March to a "high profile" person (Maybe also postponed to early April).

5. Elon's Spring Break Cross-Country Trip- Musk has said that he will be taking a cross country trip with his family during spring break, which is in April. Musk will probably make an announcement about this soon.
6. NHTSA report (Might be postponed to next year)-The NHTSA typically takes 4 months to complete an investigation, and as of now, it has been more than 4 months. Tesla recently released version 5.9, which marks the return of automatic lowering at high speeds. This feature was originally taken out to reduce fire risk due to punctured batteries. This may be a hint that NHTSA has completely cleared them. At this point, this news is probably priced in for the most part, but it may contribute a little to the upcoming rally.
