My mistake, although It may be just a bug in the system. I just tried it again - turns out the different 'order now' buttons on the Model X page take you to different locations. The one on the top of the page takes you directly to the inventory. The 'order now' buttons further down on the...

Yes, you are correct. We allowed the order to get cancelled automatically fully expecting to lose the deposit. A Tesla sales advisor called us a couple of days later to ask why we were cancelling and to tell us about inventory cars meeting our specifications with significant price drop - we...

It could happen, hence the plan is to place the order before Elon starts speaking on investor day :). Worst case, we end up having to cancel again and lose another deposit. But, considering the steep drop in prices on inventory Model X vehicles (I think it is about 10-12K for our...

Hi All, Thanks for all your replies and great discussion, it really helped us think through these issues. For now, we have cancelled our order and plan to wait till March 1st to place a new order for the same configuration with FSD (yes, we will be paying the 15K for it). We will only take...

Now I wish we had not sold our old Model Y - didn't expect it to be sold so quickly. Trade-in offer from Tesla was much lower - so we advertised privately and the car sold in a week! We could wait a few months - but 6 months may be hard. What's the estimate on HW4? Is it as long as 6-months?

I understand. Legally, it is correct that they never said that the FSD price was locked when we placed the order. It's just that when you hear the announcement that Tesla is dropping prices - you expect to see a drop in price of your order, not a balancing out saying base price dropped, but we...

Difference is that Tesla changed the base price on Model X (dropping it by ~ 3K) in Jan 2023. In doing so, they reset all the pricing for all upgrades and features to new pricing. In most cases, you would expect this to be lower as the price was dropped. However, during this time Tesla had...

In all honesty, we actually really like FSD - even though it is not perfect. Both me and my husband use it all the time on our current Model Y, even for the older Model 3 - we would use FSD very often in CA. We pretty much turn it on as soon as we leave our house and the car can take us all...

We have to date owned 3 Tesla's and are in the process of getting ready for delivery for a new Model X. All our previous cars to date have FSD and we have been firm Tesla believers and supporters since 2013. We have paid for FSD for every car, simply because we believe in Tesla and wanted to...

Hi All I just received the following text from Tesla regarding my upcoming delivery of model Y. We have a Y on order since about August with expected delivery window this December. “Tesla Update: Hi ###, your Model Y (RN11777*****) will be available for delivery soon. Take delivery of your...

Question for all the highly knowledgeable folks here - Is there any possible way for us living in Southern California to get a Austin-made Model Y? You see, we find ourselves unexpectedly in need of a new car. This would be our third Tesla, so we thought it would be interesting to get an...

Yikes! That would be a huge problem! We are not reaching there till Friday and the car goes on the truck tomorrow. Hopefully we get there before the car!

Hi All Wanted a quick answer regarding shipping of our Model 3 cross-country. It will take >6 days and they are picking up tomorrow morning, so trying to figure out best way to do this. Leave sentry mode on or off? Valet mode? Anything else to ensure safety and security of the car?

I am glad Elon tweeted what he did. It brought out the true colors of the PIF fund who refused to confirm that they were in talks with Tesla. They had no problem making Elon looks like a liar - maybe they thought that gave them more leverage. Not the type of people who can be trusted as...

How long ago was the original tweet talking about Bill’s short position in Tesla? Was that back in 2020? Just curious and want to guesstimate how much money he has lost on this short so far.

Closed the put spreads +p770/-p970 expiring 22Apr in taxable account for 80% profit at market open yesterday. But as the market dropped decided not to risk waiting further and rolled out the +p975/-p1075 in IRA expiring 20May out to September for tiny credit. With the markets the way they are...

Rob Maurer was asking for any one with legal knowledge to let him know if there is a way from blocking them from using his video. They did not ask for permission, so unsure if they can use his YouTube videos in this way.

Nice of you to ask - just been extremely busy at work and didn't have the time to post, although I have been scanning this thread regularly. I work in biotech and the product we developed over the last 9 years is finally close to approval - major feather in my cap, so not quite ready to retire...

I don't believe you would get a margin call. Fidelity account last time simply changed all positions to "pending update" for a few days.

Haven't posted here in a while - decided to reply because of experience in this and because some of the responses annoyed me. Contracts split exactly same way as shares. Last time TSLA split 1:5 - every 1 share became 5 shares @ 1/5 the SP. For options, each contract became 5 contracts at...

Wasn’t there some sort of sign up for Gigafest at Giga Berlin?

😔 Any chance you can explain the meaning like you are talking to a 5 year old?

Well, how’s that for coincidence?

Hi Folks, Hoping someone could point me in the right direction - couldn't find anything specific when searching here. We received out Starlink Satellite a few weeks ago - we live in a highly populated area of Southern California but we are keen to get out of the COX bondage for network...

I am right there with you- so might as well wait. Haven’t been posting here much. +p920/-1090 and +p920/-1020 for this week expiry and +p975/-1075 for next week. If I close now looking at a 7 figure loss. Just holding for now to see if position can be salvaged - May have to do a roll with long...

I think many others responded to your questions already, my strategy is similar to theirs. I am expecting the SP to recover over next few weeks, so I am mostly maintaining the strikes the same and rolling one week at a time for credit. For more detailed discussion on strategies for rolling...

I guess we’re all in the same boat. Remember all my juicy gains on Monday which I was so thrilled about? Well I gave up a big chunk of them today when I had to roll all my positions out by a week. Easy come easy go I guess. Not feeling too bad about it, pretty certain I can continue to roll till...

My ‘gently dip toes in’ CCs opened yesterday for 7Jan -c1360 and 14Jan for -c1420 are doing well today, wished I had closed them out though. They were at about 50-60% max profit. I opened new BPS positions a little too early in the day, but hey, you can’t time the market perfectly. 7Jan...

Happy New Year to everyone here and what a fabulous start to 2022! Today was my first day back to trading since Dec 14th - was traveling for work and then vacation, so as I had mentioned before, took a break from trading. I had rolled out all my positions to Jan 7 or Jan 14, 2022 before...

It’s called “special air” my friend- that’s $3000 markup for special air. /s This is what the Tustin Nissan dealer tried to add to the Nissan Leaf when we were shopping for it in 2015 You are forgetting the special wiper blades! $300 for that, because you see in the drought suffering area of...

so, is Elon done selling? We are back in the green now. I am guessing Elon finished his remaining sell today?

You may want to call Tesla service center to find out what’s going on. I know someone with a score of 96 who also got it.

Looks like he is finally done selling! For real this time

Welcome back, @FrankSG Glad to hear you have finished with the MBA -that was fast! I am happy to have you back posting more often now I read through your latest blog post - very intriguing. So far I have done very well with naked calls especially from Oct 2019, but in recent months have...

Why not 1/29? Or did I miss that already?

Well, my husband who has FSD beta in his car has taken to talking about the car like it is a person. Every time he comes home after a trip out with the car, he regales me with stories of what the car did today. He speaks about the car as if he is an adoring parent talking about a mischievous...

Have been traveling the last couple of weeks, so not posting much although was trying to keep the trading going. Turned out to be not such a good idea - very difficult to manage positions when you are in a different timezone and brain keeps miscalculating the time when the market closes...

Question to my good friends here - I have a chance to drive through Austin tomorrow, so want to drive by the Giga Austin to take a look. Any advice on best way to take in the splendor of the Gigafactory? Why post in investment thread? Well clearly this is research to back up all my...

I second everything you said. We have FSD in our Model Y - which also started on 10.4 and now has 10.5. We had the car drive us from Irvine to San Diego- over 65 miles today without a single disengagement and application of accelerator once as the only intervention! That was starting FSD as...

Reposting - as I fat fingered the posted this in the Numerology thread Well, I fat fingered a trade and had to eat some losses - feel so stupid about it now. I had already opened BPSs in my individual brokerage yesterday - all of which are deeply red - the highest short put is at 1045...

Yep, that I did - not having a great day. In my defense, I did take the booster shot yesterday and not really feeling too well (excuses excuses :rolleyes:)

Closed out all my BPSs for 11/26 as well as for 12/03 early this morning- all were over 80% profit. I usually set GTC closing orders for about 80-85% profit, so they all triggered on the way up to 1200! But, I completely missed the dip to open new positions. So now, I have nothing open and have...

Well, not sure if any of these are hints - make of it what you will

Agree with this sentiment. This is the main reason why I have made the decision not to sell any CCs or BCS at this time. I have only tried selling BCSs twice to combine with my BPSs as an IC. However, each time I tried the BCS, the stock decided to spike up requiring me to scramble to manage...

The exception being when you are doing a roll out of desperation - like last week Tuesday when I had a bunch of +p960/-p1060 spreads. With the stock price dropping fast and the short let already ITM, the long leg also was significantly high premium. My learning from last week: when doing...

Not sure I agree with this part, Maybe you can explain a little more. I would think if the stock is going up then covered calls are highly risky. Similarly if you think the stock is going down then BPS would be risky

Oh no - not true. The internet never forgets and 12/09 is not that far away! If he is wrong, no one is going to let him forget it! But if he is right - agree with others - that would be freaking amazing skills of deduction!

How do you manage the holy spreadsheets in situations like last week when all I did was roll out the positions to a later date? I was looking through the numbers for last week - and since all BPS were rolled out to later dates, it appears like last week was pretty bad with large losses. Do you...

I am thinking of trying something slightly different - not really in 'being the house' category but might work in the current circumstances. I think the volatility and SP drops are very much due to EM selling related events - even though the actual quantities of shares he is selling seem to be...
