Question: with SP dropping below $555, will the accrued executive bonus to Elon be reversed out this Q, helping the bottomline?
That's a good question, maybe @The Accountant or @ReflexFunds can answer this?

Sooo, I guess I spoke too soon. I got a call this afternoon from the Mt Kisco delivery center to schedule my Model Y delivery. I'm getting it this Sunday so I will make it into Q1.I am anxiously awaiting my delivery. Ever since Tesla learned that I was getting home delivery (and I assume they couldn't complete delivery by EOQ) I've heard nothing. I even called my advisor and left a message asking for an update. Crickets. So I think there are plenty of deliveries taking place in this quarter. If there were not then they would be moving mine along. I expect I'll get an update in a week or two to take delivery in early April. But my main point is that the end of quarter push is likely alive and well.
The FINRA Short Selling Volume Report for Tue, Mar 17, 2020 is out.
"Short Exempt Volume" a.k.a. Market Maker's naked shorting was 5.41% of "Short Volume", which ranks at the 119th Percentile (very unlikely to occur by chance).

The -10% circuit breaker tripped again, so the "Uptick Rule" will remain in effect for the 5th consecutive day tomorrow, Mar 18, 2020. The only effect this rule is having is to empower naked short selling by Market Makers, allowing them to drive down TSLA even with macro tailwinds.
Read more about the SEC as a Captured Agency: (2011 cases discussed)
"Reporter Matt Taibbi calls the SEC a classic case of regulatory capture[84] and the SEC has been described as an agency that was set up to protect the public from Wall Street, but now protects Wall Street from the public.[85]"

Could be a living meme, or the one I saw from Barcelona. The sax guy is apparently from Sweden. Lovely live jamming. Sequestered population cheered wildly.... ... [Wonderful post on not panicking]
Adding: I saw a wonderful video from Italy recently, a number of sequestered families playing music on their balconies together as a show of love, support and the surviving human nature of people. If only everyone was like that.
VIX options noob question:
could anyone explain to me why there's such a high difference between the model price and the actual price?
E.g. Apr 40 put: Model price $9; mid $4.45

I notice you’re discussing an island instead of an archipelago. Understandable given the economy.
Thanks to this market I'm downgrading to this.I’m realistic, adaptable, and logical. As you say, given current economical conditions I can no longer afford to stock multiple islands with toilet paper. The island is the cheap part.
whereas they are refusing to shut down their US factory in an area that does have infection where all non-essential businesses have been ordered to shut. So it doesn’t seem like they are applying the same methodical safety measures as they did in China. Instead they are doing what quite frankly sounds like a scummy weasel like move in relying on a federal definition of essential to override local health authorities.
OK. SO when no one is asking the Sheriff for his opinion, he blabs it out on social media like little Miss Gossip.
Now, when reporters want to know what's going on, he clams up like a dog with a bark collar.
Ask me why I have a dim view of law enforcement officers in the 21st century (it wasn't always this way).
Sad world these days. On the bright side, I'm loving the negativity here this morning and hearing about so many people bailing from their TSLA positions at bargain basement prices. This always happens during major market events like this. Now I can really smell the fear! Which can mean only one thing - the bottom is near!
The same as the rest of Europe AFAIK: everybody is insured (automatically/mandatory) and a large part of the medical cost is covered by that insurance.What is the Italian healthcare model?
It took some doing, but I did finally get some dry powder for tomorrow. It isn't much, but I'm hoping to add to my $TSLA position. If it turns out today was the bottom then I will get fewer shares. Big deal.OK. SO when no one is asking the Sheriff for his opinion, he blabs it out on social media like little Miss Gossip.

The big question going forward is will Tesla still be able to sell every car they can make. And while that's certainly in question with the recent economic turmoil, I still think the answer might be "yes".
I don't think COVID-19 is covered by business interruptions - generally, you need some physical damage to property for BI to kick it. They may have it as a sublimit coverage, but even then, there's a 30 day waiting period (deductible) usually. They may have some other type of insurance to cover potential plant shutdown costs though - i.e. trade disruptions, etc.A bigger concern might be legal liability. If refusing to comply with a county's order to shut down temporarily constitutes negligence per se, all an injured party would only have to prove is damages (medical expenses, mental anguish, etc. related to contracting the virus) and that the refusal to shut down was the proximate cause of contracting the virus.
Either Tesla doesn't have Business Interruption insurance or has a high threshold of self-insured retention.
The same as the rest of Europe AFAIK: everybody is insured (automatically/mandatory) and a large part of the medical cost is covered by that insurance.
Is this serious? European here. Try making that argument in a bar in Glasgow, or East London. Its ok, we have free healthcare here that will treat you afterwards...
