TSLA

Over the weekend I finished my read of The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon, Brad Stone's 2013 (second edition 2014) book chronicling the rise of Amazon from its inception to publication time. While reading, I was struck by numerous similarities between the philosophies of...

Circumspect. Cool word. Certainly a term Tesla seems to be employing when asked to comment on developing it's own Autopilot chip in partnership with AMD. From what I can sketch out, and there are few confirmed details, the electric car manufacturer wants to bring the technology (aka artificial...

Musk said the Semi will have a "bunch" of motors.

We usually have this poll every quarter except this one. But it's not too late! What is your guess for new deliveries this quarter across all Tesla models for sale?

Nikola Tesla: "I fix problems for idiots."

A thread for gloating. Post the most outrageously wrong articles/predictions about Tesla from the so called pundits. Please make the timeframes one year or longer for the best aged claim chowder. --Woof!

How I Learned To Stop Worrying About My Tesla Shares & Love The Short Sellers (Probably a sophisticate crowd here. This is a more of a neophyte piece. I wonder if I should post it in the general forum?)

Technical question here to people who have more experience with international investing. Why is there such a large difference between the OTC shares of Volvo and the Swedish Nasdaq listed ones? e.g. Per the graph on the bottom: The lines over the shared area below are VOLV A and VOLV B - which...

Moving the debate over here .....

It seems there are quite a few of us that are interested in what's happening in this space so I thought it was time to bring it to its own thread. Personally, I am very interested but still learning. I have a small amount of my investment portfolio in Ethereum and a smaller amount in Bitcoin...

I just wanted to do a shout out and see how many other small investors are out there. We see so many deep pocket investors on this forum, I just wanted to see if there is any small time investors like me, buying 100 or so and holding to SP of 1k.

Here's my thought of the week. Most of us on the investor forum believe that EVs are certainly the future, and that Tesla stands at the epicenter of that evolution. TSLA has had a great run, however, and most would agree that it is difficult to value as it arguably has no comparable company. So...

I had assumed the network would wait until Tesla could offer a driverless Uber service. But the new profiles-in-the-cloud capability suggests that it might launch much earlier based on a Zipcar like model. In this scenario you could loan your car to anyone with a Tesla profile. They would not...

So if we're fairly sure XOM will crater and die just before or after oil demand peaks, and we know oil demand is going to peak between 2021 and 2026, how does one go about shorting this trip to zero most effectively(and relatively simply)?

I'm creating this thread to better keep track of my bets. There's just too many.

If you exist in the Modern Age then you're hearing hybrids, now completely regenerated electric cars or EVs, are classified as yesterday's next big thing. What's happening now on digiverse news horizon are fully autonomous vehicles. Run solely by alternative energy. What's more to love about...

$TSLA Electric automaker Tesla Inc. reported a wider loss in 2Q17 due to higher operating expenses. Tesla Earnings Infographics is hyperlinked

Of course past gains are no indication of future results...I know, I know.... Anyway, this is a fun question (in my mind). What's the better choice? Part of me is wondering if I should NOT choose the LR model and just buy stock instead, then use the (hopefully) proceeds to buy a better 2nd gen...

Given all the commentary from bears and "objective" third parties I decided to check out the Bolt myself. I have previous experience with the Volt, Leaf, i3, BYD E6 and of course with S and X. Since so many people have eulogized the Bolt I went to a local Chevrolet dealer to try one. I have...

Like $9.99 or $14.99. I know I would cough up 10 bucks for a good feed. And imagine how bad that would piss off the Musk/tesla haters if like 10 million people subscribed and put $100 million bucks in Tesla's pockets. Oh my, that would be so awesome!

HI there. I found on the internet that Tesla and panasonic have to invest $US5-6 Billion into Gigafactory just to have enough batteries for 500,000 units of cars. And it takes a few years to get the Gigafactory to be fully completed and fully operational. and this is the main reason Tesla is at...

at the request of @surfside, i am posting my modeling for q2 2017. this is a pretty crude model based on 12,025 s deliveries and 10,025 x deliveries. i am not expecting any meaningful positive surprises unless they sell a big chunk of zev credits (more than i modeled). looking forward to...

Hi! Arcadia Power is selling solar power derivatives, you don't need to physically own it to benefit from it. This soulds like the way to go, buy solar panels in sahara and get your electricity for free...

This is not a bear post, I just want to remind and inform you, that on H2 2017 Model 3 will have a negative impact on Tesla's financial result Colin Michael Langan - UBS Securities LLC Oh, great. Elon, in the press release, you give comments on margins for the first half of the year. Any...

Thanks to @zriver, @Dagger and @Mike Smith! 2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action 2017 Investor Roundtable:General Discussion Short Q&A, only a few people got to ask questions (from a line of 20+), one question asked about the new solid state lithium cell announced by John Goodenough...

What to you all think about any potential changes in model S and X market positioning after Model 3 will become a reality? Do you expect Tesla to move them upmarket, keep the same position, cut prices, inflate prices, add features, facelift them? Interested not in an investment perspective but...

In 2010, potential roadster buyers had a choice: Buy a base roadster for $110k Buy TSLA stock at $17 per share I don't know how much the roadster is worth today, but $110k/$17 = 6,929 shares which is worth $2.5M today. It's kind of sad that an early adopter is financially punished for buying...

I have a bunch of 2018 LEAPS of various strikes. Some of the common wisdom here seems to be that around now is the right time to "roll" them into 2019 LEAPS. They're mostly deep ITM. I've never explicitly rolled them before, usually I have let them expire and convert, then hold for long term...

So I recently heard from Travis Kalanick the case about why ride sharing is just a great idea : On average people use their car 4% of the day, 96% of the day it is stored. And 20% of our lands (urban) is used to store the cars. What a waste of an asset right ?

Musk hinted that something else would be revealed at the Semi unveiling. What is it?

TSLA has performed extraordinarily well as of late. As a shareholder, I'm very pleased. Unfortunately for me, though, I got concerned of a broad market pullback a little while back and put a collar $290/$360 collar on my TSLA position (Oct 17 exp). I've been watching and thinking as the price...

In its annual shareholder meeting Tuesday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk offered details about an exciting slate of new products planned for the company. Below are a few notes from the event. Model 3 – Musk said Tesla will “definitely” begin production of the Model 3 next month. Customers anxious to...

Tesla shareholders will vote today on a proposal to end three-year terms for directors in favor of a yearly re-election process. Shareholder proxy services Institutional Shareholders Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co. have objected to Tesla filling its board with members that have close ties...

Tesla is inviting shareholders to tweet questions to Elon for tomorrow's shareholder meeting: Tesla on Twitter If your question has already been asked, give it a "like". That may make it more likely to be answered.

Toyota has sold its stake in Tesla, according to a Bloomberg report. A relationship between the two automakers began in 2010 in an effort to partner on electric vehicle technology. Soon they announced a plan to develop electric models of Toyota’s RAV4 in Canada. They sold about 2,500 of the...

We're exactly 4 weeks away from July (not counting the weekend). So when do you think the lucky one will get to drive " officially " the first M3 car ? I'd say the 3rd week of July.

Interesting read providing a different perspective from the World According to Electrek... Tesla's horrible quarter (TSLA)

Making this thread for a place to compare notes and chit chat. I will be on the 2pm tour, I know others will be on earlier tours. 1pm is the talk with franz. My twitter is @bgotchall. I might or might not tweet, depending on what the ask of us and what I learn.

I won't put odds on this being effective, but, Tesla has been known to scan through TMC some, and perhaps a member here going to the meeting will consider asking one of our questions as well... so what do you want to see Tesla answer on Tuesday?

I'm not sure but I think I see those 2 pretty often in the alert I receive from the insiders selling shares. Do you guys know what they're up to ?

Here's another way to invest in Tesla. :) I see that the building for the new Tesla store and service center in Westmont, Illinois has been leased for ten years. The landlord is seeking to sell the property. You could become Tesla's new landlord: 50 W Ogden Ave, Westmont, IL 60559

Just curious if there were any chat groups for the more active TSLA traders? If there isn't and there is interest, I would be glad to start up a slack group. I think it would be useful to discuss things that are very time sensitive such "Hey, Toni Sacconaghi is coming up on CNBC in five...

Please enter your estimates for Q2 2017 S/X delivery and production. OK to update as we get closer to the end of the quarter. I'll start: 26,400 deliveries 27,200 production

Some traditional automakers will not survive the transition to EVs. What ICE makers will fail? When do they become short targets?

Hi guys, New to the forum, but I've been an avid Tesla follower and stock owner for the last 3.5 years. I love this company and what they're doing and I find it incredibly fascinating being able to watch their progress on websites like Elektrek, InsideEVs, TeslaMondo, etc. A bit of background...

I suggest we have a tread for more detailed discussions of the Solar Roof product. TMC discussions have revealed that consumers may have difficulty properly valuing a solar roof. Consequently, Tesla investors may well have difficulty valuing this product line as well. So there is much that needs...

Not today they didn't. My TSLA position is down 8.5% since the beginning of the month. Hopefully just a short-term blip. We will see.
