Was a (bad) joke about robots unionizing. :D

Why do you think Elon is so concerned about woke AI?

Might cut my losses on some CCs sold this morning. Not interested in rolling at these levels.

I think it is also telling that Elon has moderated his Twitter usage now, when he is at the mercy of shareholders. Indicates to me he knows his prior behavior reflected poorly on him with regard to his role at Tesla.

Straying a bit into the weeds here, but I wonder if the data captured by the fleet can be used for Optimus training as well. Or are the use cases too far removed from one another?

What'd you think?

Last two years of investing in TSLA in a nutshell.

This thread covers a few tickers besides TSLA.

As a former poker player, I love this analogy.

Call IV juicing.

It’s my understanding that FSD does use mapping data extensively - and that many of its flubs arise from when that data is inaccurate, leading to poor decision making.

Approval has already been obtained, supposedly:

@bmd00 - what say you?

I like your optimism.

Options are so crazy. I have a 4/26 +170p position that was worth about $95k last Friday close. It stands to expire worthless tomorrow. 😆

You could turn it into a spread - vertical or calendar.

To your last sentence: let's see what goes on with compact car / Robotaxi development. That could really change institutions' perspectives.

Ended up selling 25% of these 4/19 +p170s at a nice profit and rolled the rest over to 4/26 at the open.

Middle east conflict stuff I think. Israel is saber rattling. EDIT: Nevermind.

Thinking about it. Or at least putting the profits of some toward the rolling of others. That IV is wicked, even DITM.

When to take profits on 4/19 +p170s? Asking for a friend.

Oh, you know...the usual.

Oof.

I don't even want to give them a click, but Business Insider ran an article on it yesterday I believe. It's very thinly sourced.

Can confirm. I live in a city with very wide bike lanes and v12 has attempted to use them as driving lanes on multiple occasions, particularly when making a right turn onto a street with a wide bike lane.

Curious to hear the thoughts of @tivoboy on how TSLA could react to confirmation of the rumors of substantial layoffs.

FSD transfers to a new vehicle will go a long way toward smoothing the ruffled feathers of those who bought in at the $15K mark. And anyways, that is a small club.

Feel the exact same way. This range bound stuff has been difficult to trade.

I got 12.3.4 on my Model X last night and took it out today. The most noticeable difference that I can see from 12.3.3 on my Model Y is that 12.3.4 doesn't seem to recognize speed humps very well. More generally, other than that, it seems to perform roughly the same.

Don't know, but we should know soon. Apparently this is now rolling out to regular customers already. I was concerned FSD deployment would slow after the initial burst of activity; this is encouraging. But, as always, devil is in the details...

(Couldn't resist. This low effort post will self-destruct in 10, 9...)

Seems like these FSD updates have the potential to be market-moving these days. Keeping an eye on this...

Elon speaking live about Tesla right now on Twitter/X. EDIT: Did a quick round trip with some 4/12 -c180s, sold at $1.95, bought at $1.33. Will look to sell again - same or different strike - on another pop. EDIT 2: New link.

The discounts on the Model Y configuration I bought 6 weeks ago have doubled - from $2,500 to $5,000.

Agreed. I’ve noticed inconsistency as well.

When @dl003 posts like that I pay attention. I actually bought some LONG calls today and made sure I didn't have any covered calls up for next week. Got lucky.

Just confirmed this with my brokerage. Just have to wait out the next 11 minutes - I like my chances. As long as Elon doesn't Tweet another pump...

So I forgot to close out some $175 calls expiring today. Will this after hours action screw me over? Lol

Okay this thread just jumped the shark.

This threads the needle between the Reuters report and Elon's denial. According to this source, $25K car isn't cancelled, but deprioritized.

This is the post Elon was responding to:

Translation, por favor?

With the exception of the publishing part, I just may do this for purposes of my own personal reflection / growth.

Hilarious. Posts like this remind me that half the time I think I just trade TSLA to pass the time and virtually shoot the *sugar* with you all.

💯 margin concerns make for terrible trades. Aside from situations like the one you describe, I have also lost so much money over the years holding protective positions that I would have gladly dumped for massive profits at certain opportunities, but which ended up expiring worthless, because I...

Sometimes I think about how I almost didn't sell a bunch of shares at $300 in 2022 to pay for a house and many other things on the belief that: a) TSLA would appreciate significantly from there, and b) we were heading into a recession that would cause house price depreciation and lower interest...

Same. I'm just a little (/s) bit skeptical that this is the end of it.

Recent FSD progress is the only thing that makes this price action make any sense imho. Also, the last two P&D reports are perfect examples of how one can even know the future and still get it wrong in the stock market. TSLA dropped on a beat on Q4's P&D, and has had a pretty modest reaction to...

Closed the +p180s at a nice 100% profit. Still holding the +p170s and 1/25 -c200s. Did a couple of roundtrips with 4/5 -c175s for quick 30% profit.

I was hoping for a similar dynamic to help me further load up on bearish positions going into tomorrow. As is, I am holding a decent number of 4/5 +p180s and +p170s, along with January '25 -c200s.
