....it appears that sales costs per watt are likely to be much higher now....A jump from $0.60/watt to $0.80/watt would look pretty bad
Sales costs up to $.87/W, that's a LOT and very surprising. ...Pardon me. NINETY-SEVEN cents.
Looks like I called the sales cost rise a few weeks ago. I guess they're not all on pure commission.
Overall there looks like a lot of positive stuff (so the -20% seems a bit surprising. Unless SCTY is tricking me with their complex math, it looks like there is growing evidence their business model works. If they really get close to $2.25/watt by years end that seems quite profitable. I suppose I'll have to buy some more tomorrow.
I'd like to hear SBenson's take.
Most important thing from the conference call.
1) SolarCity does not have a cash problem.
2) Once Tesla Energy is fully online, and the Powerwall is being mass produced, Solarcity will resume hyper growth mode.
3) Chanos is wrong.
I believe/hope you are absolutely correct. Unfortunately, Chanos is still correct on his short position for today and made crap load of $ right now. Hope he decides to let it ride and give it all back eventually. Either way, he gets to pound his chest and tell the world how credible he is for now... Chanos can have my scty calls that I lost today and suck it..... It's so funny I'm more mad about him making $ on his short scty than me losing 5 figures on my scty call options...
In my view, if Chanos doesn't cover his short tomorrow he's 100% crazy. The sentiment on TMC has never been more bearish. I'll be shocked if this end down anywhere near the after hours low. All this proves is that too many simple minded investors don't understand SolarCity's long term business strategy.
Additionally, Chanos is a pathetic and disgusting parasite, who is worse than Donald Trump. He exists to boast on TV, and to cause harm to companies by misrepresenting the truth. If he was struck by lightning tomorrow, I would throw a party.
I despise Chanos, and all that he stands for. That said, today he bested me. Got to give the Devil his due.
But, a big Kim Kardashian But, I'm in for the long haul.
I'll be back.
