Do you think production news will come out before then? I guess 5% isn't that big of a drop in a week. Just seems risky because it's so soon.

he is so gonna blame their internet troubles on some mysterious hacker.

!warning, I am an options beginner

The 'news' is already out. A less than full parking guarantees lower production. A full lot only guarantees an attempt at full production. Given the length and depth of the slowdown there are likely 2 factors at play:

-Structurally the plant can't operate at 5k week. The production line is not well developed enough, necessary maintenance overlaps with needed production time, paint shop is an iron bottleneck, etc

-Additional technical factors they can't work out easily. This could be parts shortages, labor issues, etc

Since the stock was still at 313, anything that threatens production numbers has to hurt it. One thing everyone can agree on is that they die quickly without production.

Has anyone joined a class action for funding secured? How would one evaluate which one to join?

I knew it was a losing trade but my position is so big the 8k kept me from major risk

Another Tesla exec takes an extended "leave of absence":

Must be a lot of spare offices there (although I've never heard of a Chief People Officer before).

Chief People Officer = HR

I figured as much, but since when does the head of HR get an executive title?

Head of HR for EA, perennially voted the worst company in the world to work for. Yet Tesla is a bridge too far for her.

Analyst view out this morning:

Looks like 300 gonna go today and that monthly candle now looking nasty for bulls.

Why are you joining that one specifically over the others?

Bloomberg completely out to lunch with their article from today:

Debunked:

All these bs articles are probably favors to big stock holders desperately trying to create positive sentiment so they can offload. Gonna be so disappointing if this sucka bounces sub 300 again.

Idk, havent really looked

Warren Buffett in something published today:

"I just think there are other things in life I would rather do than Tweet," Buffett said. "I'm not that desperate for somebody to hear my opinion."

Come to think of it, it's rather impressive Musk finds the time to tweet given his daily schedule is pancaked and supposedly broken down into 5 minute intervals.

Steve Bannon, of all people, calls Musk a manchild and other tech CEOs sociopaths. I need some popcorn.

There's no question that Musk is a manchild. His own stepdaughter-impregnating father thinks he's a manchild.

Being an incompetent, spoilt little rich kid is part of Musk's DNA and it's showed in every business he's had since he messed up Zip2 that his father bought for him.

He should not be in control of the grill at a bbq. So many have invested based on nothing more than his blatant lies. The fact that he is still there tells all you need to know about this company.

I will be buying OTM puts for the following friday tomorrow

The prologned and seemingly permanent production slowdown should hit mainstream news soon (next week? week after?) then it's a quick ride to $270 as downgrades (including Moodys) hit thick and fast. Only risk is some end of month delivery spin from inventory drawdown and a Musk fraud rabbit. Market might play along too with Trump $200 billion trade war tariffs stepping up next week after entire market making all time highs.

I'm having a hard time getting comfortable with all the time value on puts. It needs a big drop just to break even on anything a month or more until expiration.

I'm short and want to buy puts, but they just seem to need a big move to pay.

Man. You guys sent me down some ridiculous twitter rabbit holes.

For years now I've been wondering how Musk can run so many successful and innovative businesses. Tesla, Solar City, Spacex...

Turns out, he can't. The world just doesn't know it yet.

This is the first time I've ever really used Twitter. Follwing guys like @teslacharts, @bagholderquotes and others rack me up.

I also really like reading what the bulls are saying i.e. @gerberkawasaki proposing that AAPL buy TSLA.....what planet is he on?
