TSLA Investor Discussions

Is that available to the public? Can you post a link if it is? Thanks

Don't think so, generally Morgan Stanley research notes are for their clients only. But I'll ask them.

They also raised their Model S unit forecast for the year to 3,000 from 2,000 units (20 in 2Q, 980 in 3Q and 2,000 in 4Q).

Tesla is now quoting 5500 units produced this year

Hey outsider, you must be an insider to have the Model S key as avatar

Source? I only ask because last year Tesla had often stated 5,500-6,000 cars but then they revised it to a more conservative 5,000 and AFAIK they've been using that ever since. If they've upped that number it would be real news.

I'm mobile at the moment, so I'll need to check at home, but pretty sure it was in or around the shareholder meeting.

I think the number was 5300 in the shareholder presentation. Going to check now...

 

[FalconNinetyD]

I saw the 5300 number and assumed it included a few hundred roadsters for overseas...

Yes. It is at 28:36 in the shareholder meeting video. It does say "Roadster & S".

5000 units would be great, should move Morgan Stanley's target price up another $2 dollars...to $47

 

[AnOutsider]

Woops, you're right Citizen-T. Here it is:

Yay! My severance from my last job (just ended) ends up happening in 2 parts, part right now and part in 2 weeks, so I can dump some more into TSLA soon as it clears the bank transfer. Now I just pray the stock actually goes up...well, just after I buy preferably.

 

[NigelM]

So for the record: Tesla's target to produce 5,000 Model S this year has not changed.

 

[onlinespending]

glad I dumped my TSLA shares on Friday. Can't go broke taking profits. I'm OK with profits totaling 1/3 of a Model S within the last 5 months.

Tesla's official partner for charger installation (and hopefully superchargers) is SolarCity. I think that is new today. Looking forward to the Inside Tesla today. Hopefully a lot of new information!

Closed down .96 today at 29.12. What does TM have to do to get some love? Only good things have happened recently and have even had some analyst say it is time to buy. I am surprised.

General market conditions probably affect Tesla's share price more than news about Tesla itself. It would probably be a mistake to imagine that most trades of TSLA have anything at all to do with Tesla. Share price will rise as the company becomes more successful, but the daily swings are more the result of investor confidence in the market and the economy as a whole.

What's with that? Weren't they saying Tesla could not possibly succeed about a month ago? I pity the poor fools who take The Motley Fool seriously.

Who does Tesla have a battery agreement with?

It seems A123 has done something big (which has got their share price up 50% today alone) by annoucning a massive improvement in their car battery research, which they hope to have available soon. Could have a massive impact on Tesla.

Tesla is with Panasonic for the cells in the Roadster and Model S AFAIK. I saw A123's thing on Fisker Buzz and it seems like they found a way to eliminate the need for temperature management in their cells, but the cells seem more geared toward hybrids and plugin hybrids than EVs.

 

[Citizen-T]

It wouldn't be too hard to get A123's stock up 50%. Just saying...

As shocking as this is, they have more than one writer each with a different opinion
