johnny: I agree. how many shares do you want to short?

my respect for Mr Musk just ramped up AFTER he canceled his trip to Indis during India’s election. India is the ONLY major coumtry I know which can void a signed contract after a change of government,

JJ: it sounds like I hit a nerve, which was not my intention. I did not mean to say that TA is useless;!however, I do believe TA is overrated. TA is important in rder todetermin entry points and perhaps exot pointd. However, many TA enthusiasts believe, wrongly in my opinion, that TA can prefct step changes in prices.

It may soon be enough miles, especially in California, to train individual cars on the routes they travel most frequently…

JJ: and what happens if the stock jumps 10 points in Monday?

Nostradamus, I agree, a car without FSD mat be compared to a person without a brain!

Jason: the price on Monday is in nobody’s control. However, i have a vert strong feeling that there is no better place to ark long term funds. Let me explain why I am making such a broad statement.
1.

Tesla is using a fuel of the future. Hybrid cars are NOTHING but an attempt to avoid fines by improving CAFE. They STILL use gasoline, which is a fuel of the past.

2.

Tesla can and does move faster than most companies. (Just ask Sandy Munro). The reason for their agility is their management structure. Some may argue that it is not the best thing in the world to vest all the power in ONE person. However, by adding other people to the decision making , sometimes ALL you accomplish is delay. Rarely, you may get a better decision.

3.

If you have the greatest engineering mind of our time at the helm, how can a company go wrong? In my personal opinion, (I know most people do NOT share my view) ELON is head and shoulders above most other engineers I have met. His insistence on doing things right, based on first principles, is SO refreshing. I am a retired engineer, myself. So I know many engineers.

4.

Calling Tesla an auto company is similar to calling Xerox the copy machine company.!

I guess THAT is why people are willing to pay tens of thousands extra…

Between the prototype and its production there are many changes, besides the long gap. So I would call it an ‘optimistic’ projection rather than a ‘lie’. If Tesla were able to sell the cyber truck at the low priced anticipated in 2014, imagine the demand! And the opportunity to make money reselling.

JJ: that same post could have been made by our ‘resident’ well-known BEARS.

JJ: I am pretty convinced that you are a bear in hiding: otherwise, why would you post that news without comment?

As you know, staff reductions at other companies are perceived as positive by the Street. In Tesla’s case they are seen ad the beginning of the end!!!

Based on the ‘24 earnings projection of $2.71 that represents a P/E ratio of over 40. Would you start accumulating such a ‘high-priced stock?

TMaga: i AM a fan-boy and proud of it. You, on the other hand, ….

TMaga: The sooner you throw in the towel, along with other shorts and our clueless analysts and institutional investors, the better it will be for you.

Obviously somebody was forewarned about the Reuters story…

The parabolic rise would have continued were it not for the debunked Reuters story.
I am curious to see how Reuters will report the unveiling…

Cant wait!

Exactly. That is the last time I will believe anything posted by Reuters.

What I love about techs like you is that you think charts can explain EVERYTHING !!

I agree. Is there any way to hold the journalist and Reuters responsible for the story?

Uber I thought from your interaction with Boston that you were a bull. But now I know your reality. You are very close to my IGNORE list.

George, many thanks for taking on the resident shorts on this board,

Mind you, I have no special ill-feeling toward shorts. However, it is very important to do the following things before posting

1. Check anything that you are saying is fact.

2. You have complete freedom to post any opinion on this board. However, I also have the right to not read it and put you TTTRon ignore. I generally reserve the ignore list for posters who are guilty of repeatedly saying negative things about the stock or the company without ANY evidence! By the way the same thing applied for rah-rah posters like TTTR!

That was just a rumored free trial

I can hardly wait to drive my cyber truck there.

How many days’ production?

If it were (first column) the run rate ( assuming 350 days of annual production is shown in column 2.

Column 1. Column 2
1. 126,000
2. 63,000
3. 42,000
4. 31,500

And so on.

For once, I agree with every word in your post. Youtube has gone from 5 second commercials, with a skip option appearing after 5 seconds to now where you are lucky to fund ANY video without ads.

JJ: As I have mentioned before, you are stuck on the techs. However, remember that the SP is swung much more by news.

JJ: You and Moon are, in my opinion, are taking a humongous risk of missing out on TSLA as it jumps following the announcement of true FSD, and/or the next-gen car, or possibly Optimus.

I think technicals are awesome BUT they just may not be enough.

My last post ended rather abruptly because my iPhone was acting up and I did not want to lose my post.

However, continuing my post, my 20/20 hindsight shows me how I could have made even more by doing nothing and having the stock assigned to me. In that case I could be sitting on a profit of over $200 per share today, with possibly more upside.

I have other examples where having the stock assigned to you is the best option as long as the account has enough cash and/or margin to handle the assignment.

My question is: Based on your experience (of course I am hoping that Moon will pipe up), is there a rule of thumb?

JJ: I hope you don’t realize your mistake in a big way. That could happen if there is an announcement inclement from Tesla on one of the following:

1. FSD. I think the ONLY thing that may be significant on FSD is that the new version will not have BETA attached!

2. Next gen car.

3. Surprisingly high production data.

4. New factory

My Mac invariably says: ‘Your account is currently either suspended or you have not validated yet’. BUT my iPhone lets me post!

How can you take advantage of stock price manipulation? Generally, but not always, the sp of TSLA is lowest just before market open.

INCREDIBLE!

Not yet. BUT in my opinion, ANY high-margin business better not sit on its laurels. Either innovate yourself, OR face the Elon threat.

George: the linked article is OLD dated Feb 28,

I agree, Moon. By the way I do d not know the MM is allowed to ‘btickwall’ anything.

Reason I ask is perhaps we can form a group to break down the wall…

Anybody with level 2 quotes:

Please advise how many shares are in the sell order at 180?

What if it does?

Moon I worry about the following major events which could cause a major breakout:

1. Removal of beta from FSD

2. Announced of Gee 3 car and/or Optimus availability.
