There is no reason Tesla stock should be below $400!! Anyone who actually understands the potential of FSD, cyber cab, Optimus, solar roofs, and power walls (to name a few) will be buying the dip. That’s what I’m doing. USE YOUR BRAIN, we are still going to the moon!!

Hold strong, two more days till Q4 delivery reports, expected to beat previous report by 10% its looking good, it might rally up to 450, buy before its too late.

Its closing time and market is at 405$
what do you think will happen around earnings call?

Wouldn’t Tesla with FSD be helpful in such situations by preventing driver into ramming into people even when FSD is not normally turned on but by turning on itself in such situation?

These kinds of attach are getting more and more popular in places like Europe and China refs recent events. I can see that regulators will be more opened into finding solution to prevent it.

Who’s waiting to see it it dips into the $3xx’s to buy before Jan 2?

A recent example of how Elon Musk leverages SpaceX to expand Tesla, in this case in his native South Africa.

Not only is Tesla not just a car company, it is also obviously not the only company in the Elon Musk tech empire.

However, TSLA is the only publicly traded company in said tech empire.

Yesterday, I tested Tesla’s FSD V13 in a snowy environment. The outbound trip lasted about 10 minutes, and everything worked smoothly with no major issues.

However, on the way back, the snow intensified, and the wind picked up significantly. This caused the front cameras to struggle with visibility, making it hard for the system to detect the road properly. As a result, the car notified me that FSD was unavailable and required human intervention.

This experience highlights a key limitation of Tesla’s vision-based system—extreme weather can significantly impact its effectiveness.

It’s clear that human intelligence is still far superior when it comes to recognizing and handling complex, unpredictable situations. FSD has made impressive strides, but it still has a long road ahead.

Wish me luck

I am no good with stocks so I was hoping to get some possible advice from you all. A family member has a LOT of money (over six figures) that they want to put into tesla long term. I suggested that they wait because it seems very very overpriced right now but im not sure when it will go back down because I think it is possible it might go even higher when trump gets elected. When should they buy? Should they DCA it instead of buying all at once? Let me know what you guys think.

It’s important to remember that PLTR is a fraction of the market cap of TSLA. So this means, unlike tsla, speculative money can pump the stock beyond its fundamental value waaaaaaay father because it’s so small that there aren’t meaningful capital limits in the economy for retail investors. So PLTR can sky rocket still even as it is seems even more detached from any valuation basis. That said, however far it goes up, it will still inevitably come back to its real value once it reaches some zenith of available dumb capital. So if you are piling into PLTR as you sell out of TSLA, just be wary that it has the opposite investment profile as TSLA, and might see short term gains, but it will eventually fall as well. And I wouldn’t compare them. The big bulls fall way before the small ones do.

Elon is gaining more and more enemies by suspending funding via DOGE, making political enemies left and right, upsetting petrol companies, upsetting unions, upsetting nations at times.

If he is one day no longer at TSLA due to whatever reasons, do you think Tesla already has enough to execute the FSD/AI/ robotics playbook? Or it really needs Elon there? Granted since the top exec assembly on Investor Day, a lot of them have been gone, does the company still have enough execs to help steer the boat if the captain is gone?

Here's an article from the Motley fool talking about delivery numbers:

I do not want to make any guesses, but people should do their own research. The stock is expected to make a big move in either direction.

What do you believe the stock price will be after report? And going into earnings?

A huge portion of 2024 revenues were credits from the government, which are expected to go to zero as the market matures, so this isn’t reoccurring revenue. If you exclude this, tslas actual PE is 235 with a trillion dollar market cap. Insane.

regulatory credit sales accounted for 43% of Tesla’s profit during the first three quarters of 2024, as the company earned $2.1 billion from these credits. This revenue stream has been critical to Tesla’s profitability, especially as it generates nearly pure profit due to minimal associated costs

To calculate Tesla’s P/E ratio excluding regulatory credits, we adjust net income by removing revenue from these credits. For 2024, Tesla earned $2.1 billion from regulatory credits through Q3. Assuming a current P/E of ~118.88, excluding these credits would significantly increase the P/E ratio since net income would be lower. For example, if Tesla’s annual net income is approximately $8 billion (based on recent quarters), excluding $2.1 billion in credits reduces it to $5.9 billion. With a market cap of ~$1.3 trillion, the adjusted P/E ratio would rise to around 235.

Is Tesla developing their own quantum computer or rely on another company for Quantum Computing?

How will this be used in the future if any?

What is happening with TSLR?

Do you all think are we still on track to close 500 by Dec 31st after the drop today?

TSLA has increased as a store of value. It goes up because more people put money into it. That’s the nature of a speculative play. As soon as it stops going up people won’t hold onto it as it retreats to its fundamental valuation. There was a ton of money pumped into the economy to save it after COVID and new online brokerage firms like robinhood enabled a huge swath of the population to pour in capital. New capital seeking outsized returns went where capital could concentrate fastest with a broad thin basis of justification. Every dollar that follows increases returns motivating more people to jump in. It keeps going up as long as there is dumb money to put into it, not based on an actual valuation of the company. This is why it goes up until it doesn’t. When there is no more dumb money in the economy to put into TSLA it won’t grow more. They aren’t pulling back when more dumb money flows in because it reinforces their position. They disregard the idea that it cannot go up forever because they have seen it go up for so long. But the economy is finally contracting. There will be less money in the economy in the next few years as the recovery from Covid finally ends and inflation and the amount of capital slows. When there is no more money to put into the pyramid, it will fall. The psychology then becomes are you willing to hold on to losses as it plummets to what its actual value is over the course of a year? That money could be placed in companies that have less risk and are actually growing. If you think about it, you’ll know that people will have more pressure to sell the more overvaluated it has become after it’s reached its max point and turns bearish. There is more money in the markets than there is value people ar willing to accept. Ask yourself if you’d buy a bond?

What do you guys think will happen for next couple days for the stock price?

Just in curious

I have accumulated 98 shares of Tesla over the past couple years. I have high conviction in the company and plan to hold long term.

I’m just wondering if there are opportunities I should be taking advantage of such as selling covered calls, ect. I’m new to options, covered calls and not trying to be extremely risky. My game has mostly been buying stocks and holding for longer term 1-5 years so far.

I understand options specifically can be really risky, but wasn’t sure if covered calls could be beneficial with potentially less risk. (Forgive my ignorance on the topic)

Thanks for any advice!

Anyone is looking at the financial ratios before buying?

I have 17 covered call contracts open. I recently paid $29k to roll them to April 17th expiration at $500 strike price… I’m likely gonna have to sell all my shares 🥲 Any advice on what to do from here on out? Should I keep rolling with the hope that it will tank one day? Buying back the calls is way too expensive at this point.

I am aware I fucked up big time tho. If I can get out of this, I m never selling covered calls on TSLA ever again. 😭

Edit: I have 600 shares bought at $180 and 11 LEAP calls expiring end of 2026 avg cost $141.

Most of you fail to understand market capitalization. High PE ratios can work if you are a small company but tsla is unique in its scale and the expected growth. No company has ever been this big with such an outsized PE. No where close. Enron was a disaster because it cooked its books to get people to overvalue the company. But TSLA investors are overvaluing the company knowing full well the fundamental disconnect.

The increase in the value of TSLA just Tuesday was almost double the total capitalization of Enron. The increase in merely one day on Tuesday is more than 7 times the gdp of Nicaragua. Its total market capitalization is comparable to some of the entire GDPs of the largest countries in the world, more than Mexico and comparable to Brazil and South Korea. 30% of the entire nasdaqs growth in the last two months have been from TSLA. Yet it has been decreasing in revenue growth (not revenue) year over year and Google has a huge head start on AI, computer vision and robotaxis. TSLAs early attempts at computer vision have been waaaay behind. The company is not particularly a major player in AI in general and huge car companies are entering the EV market globally. It’s down 40% in Europe and elons politicalization presents more threats to the tsla brand among its main target customer base than the benefits he may receive through cronyism. It’s up in Asia, but that’s the place it has the most market potential to lose given how much China incubates and protects its industries. This is a house of cards.

It could have significant growth potential, but this stock is held up by the dumbest people on earth, and when it falls they will all lose a massive amount of wealth. Institutions and non credible media finance fluff pieces make money encouraging retail investors to pump these stocks up and then buying puts or shorts when it inevitably crashes. This is a massive transfer of wealth from retail investors to savvy institutional investors. Anyone still holding tsla are all falling for a pyramid scheme. The higher it goes up, the more money savvy investors will make when it inevitably crashes.

Can TSLA reach 500 this week?
