Off a cliff I really doubt... IIRC the LR Y is up ~5k since March and ~8k since last year. For those that have been waiting and locked in on prices... we are looking at breaking even or a small increase. That is before we likely have another increase soon. Some will certainly play the game, but I doubt Tesla has issues selling whatever they can produce right now.
Data point - I ordered a Y LR exactly one year ago today, on 8/9/21. Estimated delivery window is now showing Aug 31 - Oct 5, (2022 just to be clear!) for that order. Same car is now $12k more, plus wait time, plus any more price increases. No motive to play that game.
 
Tesla could sue and likely win something against ol Dan. But PR here would likely be a more effective move. Point out the issues in the video that could be edited and fakes.... and then show a test run doing the same with simultaneous views where FSD is successful. Post on YouTube, have Elon promote it, and let the 'cult' (I say this as an endearing term to all of us 😂 )push it. Barely any cost, no discovery, and publicly shame Dan O'Dowd.
 
I guess now we know what started the ball rolling - and heh he DID let us know, in an indirect kind of way at the Annual Shareholder's Meeting good time to load up LOL

From Sawyer Merritt on Twitter: Elon Musk has filed two Form 4s with the SEC tonight showing that he sold over 3 million $TSLA shares worth a few billion on August 5th.

Update:



For the record:

Hmm tomorrow could be a bloodbath then huh…
WTF!!
Hope he planned it so that by the time the forms came out, he was done selling for the extra Billions needed for the TWTR purchase. ....(+ and we have good CPI tomorrow)

Looks like opportunity to buy shares (just like EM said).... sell all shares from piggy bank and go back to LEAPS if SP < ~ 770 .... is my new plan ;)

Leveraged etf with tsla volatility might not be such a good idea.

Upon further research, these leveraged ETFs are not the droids I'm looking for. BTW, the expense ratio is 0.99% if someone wants a short play casino pull 😉

That is the correct way to fight the FUD
 
Just a thought:

As social media has played out this year with Facebook and Twitter pretty much stalling or, quite honestly, getting worse...

...is Elon Musk saving Twitter all for his singular account that reaches 102.5M people now to help propel Tesla and his companies?
 
I must admit I'm not feeling very enthusiastic about this news either. :confused:

Re Elon's selling shares starting Friday 8/5 till today 8/9: 7,924,107 TSLA shares worth about $6.9 Billion. (edited for clarity)

Keep in mind, IF you are a long term shareholder, NOT there just to make a profit, it really doesn't matter. IF you have paper hands and no real conviction/ understanding, you really haven't done your homework, too bad. IF you are a trader, you know the risks.

Now if you are a Tesla employee, this is great, will let you get your bonus shares at a lower price, Elon is perfectly justified in doing what he did. Too bad I didn't figure this out, my greedy self says.

BTW, for TMC newcomers I penned a brief re what to know about investing in TSLA this weekend.

And now back to the 24x7 Tesla's n-dementional tech/ business/ manufacturing/ trading / Elon / SpaceX, Boring, Twitter never Boring show.
