I too was expecting more shares to short becoming available today. Let's see if there is a delay and they come available as the day goes on. Right now the broader markets are down a bit, but we're seeing the usual Monday morning first-hour bump up in prices. I'm taking a wait and see attitude right now, but I expect TSLA to climb as we get closer to the end of the week. The big question is: how many shares for shorting become available in the next couple days?
The record date announcement can be retroactive as well, e.g., PR on 9/30 stating that vote is on 10/24 (made this up) and record date was 9/23. Nothing requires a record date to be preannounced.If the record date is set, shouldn't Tesla Investor Relations issue a filing?
Was at the Oak Brook,IL Tesla store the past Saturday chatting with the rep. He was an X Apple Store employee that been with tesla a few years. There was no MX to test drive as all of them are sold. Usually there is a couple. However MS couple was still available but he said one of them was purchased and will be gone that night. I asked about the purchase ratio mix of MS Vs MX and he would put it about 50:50.

In fact, this may have been the strategy. Send out the early PR to let people know the approximate record date. Allow nonbelievers to sell their shares (this is how funds often register their disapproval, not by voting no or filing suit). Then, monitor ownership activity until you feel the shares are in the right hands. Get unanimous written consent from BOD to set the record date and lock it in. Wait and announce prior record date on/around Q3 deliveries blowout to avoid share recall reversal shorting pressure. Allow shorts to blow themselves to bits with the newly available shares.
Info from my corner the universe:
1) Schwab received notification friday of merger shareholder event (but that's all). Instruction on shareholder notification will follow within 3-5 business days which will induce Schwab notification to shareholders. The record date was not part of the first notification (but will be included in the Instruction second part (whatever date that was or is). My interpretation - until shareholders receive the specific Instruction they would likely hold the voting shares until that notification officially states the record date; but it likely retro to the 23rd when Schwab received the event notification
2) On the quick dip this morning in SCTY ($19.1) - I place what I expect to be my last arb installment of SCTY proxy purchase (TSLA at $174). I expect this to be the last op for that kind of value.
I need to find time to post about it, but my research indicates that 100kWh batteries have new cooling and cell interconnection system. I think that incompatibility is likely due to these changes, rather that physical size differences mentioned by the service rep.
Some of the added capabilities may require wiring harness changes that don't exist in pre-facelift cars?How would internal changes cause incompatibility with exterior connections?

My guess is this "its silver buttons are on the side so you don’t accidentally press one while walking." is the reason the XC90 won out. No phantom door opening from butt dialing the fob like in the X. ;-) Elon had better get to work redesigning the fob for next year. Then maybe TSLA will finally break out.
I doubt interconnections would cause any incompatibility. However if pack output current exceeds existing connection/cabling specs that could cause a problem. Likewise increased cooling volume demand beyond what older cars can produce might also cause an issue.I did not say that incompatibility is with exterior connections, just that incompatibility is likely due to changes in cooling and interconnections within the pack.
So perhaps shares available to short sometime between Wed and Friday. Would be pretty gutsy for a short to open a new position around that time.Info from my corner the universe:

The 20 day rule can be waived if the notice is "impracticable." Really, the rule just requires you to give the brokers notice ASAP, and not later than 20 days in advance if possible.What about SEC Rule 14a-13 and Stock Exchange rules? See my post with details here.

That almost makes me suspect they will send out the official notification on Friday so that any downwards price action would be blunted by the delivery report. I guess we'll see.Info from my corner the universe:
