Its funny. A bunch of Analysts raised tesla to 500+. They might know something before earnings.

real deal W here. To my followers, I have not forgotten you , just have been busy with other matters so I will have to be brief. As expected, the LDV continued to rise for today's expiration from the very low $330 figure last week to about $400 yesterday and the unwind today has been a drag on the shareprice dynamic as predicted and is absolutely the main reason for the negative status currently. It should be noted that:1. though this is a rather large dollar value open interest expiration, and that the LDV still remains below the share price, the difference in dollar value is not that large between $400 and $440 ( especially for TSLA) so the negative effect of the unwind while significant enough to have caused the reversal so far , is likely to be limited2. the action today has little to no bearing on what will happen relative to next week's expiration with the "big" event of earnings release and cc.3. though there is little doubt that TSLA management will spin the release in the most positive manner they can, and that there will be plenty of people willing to continue devout belief in the TSLA story, the top that I called in the "historic" froth leading up to the split and batttery day of $533 in the premarket session is still likely to be a very durable top..................Cheers!

Keep your kids safe folks. Vote No on Joe.

But it's such a tiny market, why are you wasting time with tiny markets?Just kidding. Thanks for the data on S. Korea. If Tesla sold 10,518 vehicles making up 79.6% of the market, then only 13,213 EVs were sold in a country of 52 million.Again we look at little Norway, where 13,002 vehicles were sold by the Top 10 cars in a country of 5.5 million - JUST IN Q3!! (There were 57 different models sold in Q3 in Norway)Okay, but beyond that, that data is in direct opposition to this report:https://cleantechnica.com/2020/08/23/tesla-model-3-hyundai-kona-ev-have-54-of-south-korean-ev-market/Suggesting they had sold 6,888 vehicles in the Jan-July time frame, but others had sold 15,000 in that same period. If that report is accurate, then there must be at least 25,000 EVs sold which means that Tesla's market share is closer to 40%.Does anyone know where that data is pulled from (I have read the Yonhap story already).Thanks,Guru.

The only number that matters is GLOBAL deliveries. Stop looking at deliveries by country.

Huge margins on Shanghai made autos being sold in Europe! Brilliant!

I took advantage of the 2% dip today to buy some TSLA stock. On Wednesday, Deutsche Bank analyst Emmanuel Rosner raised his rating on Tesla's shares from hold to buy, and boosted his price forecast from $400 to $500. That sounds good to me! Good luck all!

I think tsla will report blowout numbers and it be listed in S&P index this time ... that will make it to 600 stock!

Looking at European sales, here is a similar table for Europe. Again we note that sales are dropping, but much faster and essentially both in the month over month (-3% in September) and ytd -categories (-15% YTD).Month Unit Sales YoY growth19-Sep 19390 19-Oct 2163 19-Nov 8863 19-Dec 24445 20-Jan 2110 178%20-Feb 3983 -11%20-Mar 17598 0%20-Apr 2864 -35%20-May 2713 -34%20-Jun 8497 -40%20-Jul 1049 -76%20-Aug 6917 9%20-Sep 18784 -3%Now the argument is that they will start shipping cars from China and of course Berlin will come online around mid year next year, but given the company is operating at 70% capacity, I am not sure that building more production capacity is going to help.In both China and Europe, there is significant and growing competition and that seems to be the limiting factor. In the US, there is almost zero competition and growth is slowing as well.This leads to a number of questions, but two on the top of my mind: (1) how will increasing competition affect Tesla's sales? (2) Is the EV market saturated, and if so, for how long?Guru.

Soon the masses will recognize that $NIO is the revolution everybody has chased for while betting mostly in $TSLA and all that hope, reflecting in gigantic marketcap of tsla, will fleed into $Nio, from tsla scam

Rocketing up. Headed for $500 Billion market cap and then $1 Trillion.

Can anyone explain why TSLA chose to stop offering the “7 day return policy with no questions asked”......Such a return policy.......shows that TSLA is confident that quality and performance will satisfy expectations of consumersWhat has changed?

Thumbs Up - If you agree that the ER beat and stock will touch $500 after ER.

Barron's - Wall Street is lining up solidly behind Joe Biden, based on campaign contributions. Greg Valliere, chief U.S. strategist for AGF Investments, advises financial types “Some analysts say it’s simply a matter of backing a winner; others say a Biden presidency would be more stable and predictable, with a moderate trade policy and a huge stimulus in early 2021.

[W]e believe Tesla's improved manufacturing efficiency and shining Giga 3 success in China will be on full display later this week and lead to another strong bottom-line performance which should beat the Street in our opinion," Ives wrote in a note to clients. "In terms of overall unit demand heading into year-end we believe Tesla is on pace to impressively achieve in the area code of 500k units for the year, a line in the sand that was a pipe dream six months ago as Tesla (and other auto players) have navigated this unprecedented COVID backdrop." Tesla is scheduled to report results after Wednesday's closing bell, with the FactSet consensus for earnings of 55 cents a share and revenue of $8.38 billion. The stock, which has dropped 4.8% over the past two days, has run up 46.5% over the past three months, while the S&P 500 SPX, +0.01% has gained 8.0%.

Ford $F sold more vehicles in China than tesla did all over the world in Q3. Ford China Sales Rise Two Quarters In A Row, Jump 25% Y/Y. Ford’s (F) vehicle sales in Greater China grew 25.4% year-over-year to 164,352 in the third quarter and were up 3.6% quarter-over-quarter.Sales of Ford brand vehicles in China in 3Q driven by a 72.2% rise in Ford SUVs, over 30% jump in Ford Transit sales and a 60.7% surge in sales of Ford Lio-Ho. Also, the sales of the company’s Lincoln luxury vehicles grew 64.8% to 19,143 units, reflecting the demand for Lincoln Corsair. JMC Vehicles sales increased 38.3% to 58,000 on robust demand for light trucks, commercial vans and pickups.As far as I know these are ICE vehicles. Doesn't this make Ford a high growth tech company?Shouldn't it have a $ trillion market cap?I mean it's actually selling 10 times as many vehicles now at a profit. This isn't some time in the future.

It's funny! Every time this stock goes down naysayers/bashers come out. Then when the price picks up again there's a hush...

Wedbush lifts price target pre market then starts dumping shares. Typical analyst action.

So if Tesla earns $1.50. What price do you think Tesla would trade at?

Tesla is shipping cars out of China ... I thought most of the new demand was going to come from China? This isn’t a red flag?
