Tesla:Welcome X Æ A-12

I hope you can do that

 

Pretty disappointed if it’s range is 200 miles when it comes off the lines in 2020.

 

yeah that seems like it will be a big drawback now, much less in two years

 

If I had an electric car I would rent a car if I wanted to take a road trip. Taking a road trip in a Tesla and having to plan around charging networks and chilling for 45-60 minutes at a place out of the way while your car charges would suck ass

 

Seems like the opposite.

It's gonna be much worse in 2 yeas when it is half the std battery

 

I think we’re saying the same thing

 

Ok

 

And VW comes out saying that any rumors of them investing in Tesla are complete bullshit

I’m shocked!

 

ksim14 please don’t buy more at 280 this is a sinking ship

 

I love this company

 

Gallant Knight what are your puts again? $275 in January?

 

300

Have 28 of them

Also some March 240

 

liked when it was trading at 277 earlier this AM

 

What did you buy them at?

 

avg price 37.03 for the jan 300s

avg price of 21.48 for the march 240s

 

Can you dump them at any time or do you have to wait till Jan and March?

 

any time

 

Oh so you do have some at 240? How many?

I've never played with them. In January, does it matter if it's 299 or 260? Do you get more the lower it is?

 

his cost on the January ones was $37.03 x 28 contracts = $103,684

Current price on those is $48 x 28 contracts = $134,400

 

What if it's at 299 on their date? And 260 on that date? Or 301?

 

at $299 he loses a lot of money. about $100k

at $260 he makes $8400

 

Are we talking about the 300s? At 299 he loses 100k?

 

yes. His strike price is $300 minus his cost. So $300-$37.03 = $262.97

 

Haha na just trying to learn a little on a subject im clueless on

 

So I bought the right to sell Tesla at $300 per share in Jan 2019 but I had to pay $37 per share for that right

So if Tesla is trading for 200 but I can sell it to you at 300 that’s 100 but I had to pay 37 so I only really make 63 per share

And each contract gives me the right to do that for 100 shares

 

I would have no clue on all of this without tmbrules help

 

Elon is going on Rogan’s podcast tomorrow night

 

No one refuses to challenge guests quite like joe rogan so I'm sure it will be a productive 3 hours

 

Honestly, I hadn’t heard Elon’s voice much until a few weeks ago when I watched him give a factory tour on YouTube.

His unrelenting nerdiness is kind of off-putting

 

He’s not a great speaker. The dude comes off as one of those highly intelligent people that have a hard time getting the social interaction part of life right.

new purchase

 

On sale just like Tesla stock

 

Almost bought more March 240 today but it’s hard to pull the trigger on puts after 7 straight trading day losses

 

Stock up 2% pre market based on musk retweet of a blogs dlelivery number estimates

I expect some more bullshit from him when he wakes up from his daily coca ambient bender and sees that

 

Do you have a better source for sales figures?

 

No! I get them on the quarterly call just like everyone should

Not from a blog that Elon retweets

 

His flagrant market manipulation is hilarious.

 

Lol

Insideevs is pretty solid, gives a rough number for US deliveries. October 2nd or 3rd we will get Tesla’s numbers.

 

As someone that’s in the bull camp I would find the March puts more risky than the January ones.

 

Do you disagree that he purposefully manipulates the markets with his tweets?

 

Why is that

 

More time to get their shit together.
Stock is priced on potential.
Oct. production numbers will be close to estimate, then revised later.
Same thing will happen again come Feb and you'll be fucked w the march position.

Source: I can travel through time.

 

I don’t think retweeting a blog post is some ground breaking market manipulation. He’s done other things that I’d point to before that.

 

Agree

But I’m sure he knew the stock would go up with the retweet

Spoiler though:

It will close red today

 

Well if Tesla pulls off what they are forecasting aka a nice profit, the Q4 numbers come out in mid Feb which would make those March puts more risky.

As where with the Jan ones you won’t have to worry about a pop from Q4 delivery numbers because that info won’t be out till the 2nd or 3rd anyways.

 

Agree. But it's still market manipulation. This is just another example. He's not the only one that does it either.

 

Sure but the stock in the past has gone down from poor insideevs numbers. Its all part of the game.
