Here's a Tesla owner enjoying that mandatory "30 minute" break while vacationing.

Building a ground-up system was common 30 years ago when IT infrastructure was simpler, resources were easy to find, security a passing concern, and lifespan was reasonably long. It is a different environment now and most organizations do not have the skills, desire, or financial resources to pull it off.

Also, organizations are concerned that developing an in-house system gives certain people a lot of power. Management outsources to retain a semblance of power and control, while paying out a lot of $ in the process.

That's awesome. No doubt he added to his Tesla long on the Musk $420 tweet. Lots of happy days since then...

LOL rich people problems

Q3 Earnings and CC at close of business 10/24.
Two days notice. Amazing.

Was coming to post this

Wtf? Especially with a depleted accounting team

This makes no sense, I wonder if Elon told anyone he moved the date up

MMs going to have a rough night. Anyone holding options should have them jump >100% overnight.

Calls or puts? I've given up trying to predict what any given piece of news will do to the stock price. I'm loaded up on puts expiring anywhere from a couple of weeks from now (Nov 9 200) all the way out to 2020 at a few different strikes. And still short my original position at $343.

Those won't move much overnight. Anything expiring this week will spike massively. Next week probably too.

Yeah I meant weeklies obviously. Past Nov 1 or so has earnings priced in.

This seems not possible


So they remove the FSD option and i think the entire world knows its a regulatory issue.


BUT! maybe not


Here is an email showing you can still purchase FSD for 5k, BUT! Tesla wilk reimburse you 1k in 30 days



I still dont buy this as real

Tesla bulls v bears is my new favorite soap opera ... the $5k sales offer (with 1k refund!) didn't look real to me either but that means sqayt.

Haha, didn't take long for the Q3 hype to hit. Can't wait to see how fake these numbers will be, might be able to get some shorts in 300-325, amazing.

The best part was people defending the practice.

"I’m confused the fraud claim. Tesla chose to remove it as an option. If though really want it, you can pay. Knowing it has no features right now. What’s the problem? They can sell the upgrade and people can choose to buy it."

"Why do you spending your time trying to demise Tesla? Do you have morals?"

"Lol leave it to $tslaq fudsters to manipulate any text! Price is showing $5k in the guys online account, and they’re saying they’ll refund the difference ($1k) that the guy has to pay extra to buy online vs with the car. Easier than to individually update a guys portal $tsla"

Citron (famous short seller suing Musk for his $420 fraud tweet) recommending long Tesla this morning is one of the my favorite bits of the soap opera so far.

I would love to know what's behind Citron's piece this morning. Did Elon pay him? Is this plus surprise earnings another attempt at squeezing the shorts? It's working... market is down 2% and TSLA up 6%.

Elon knows this is his last chance: marketing blitz/hype and blowout Q3. if he can get the stock back over 300/325 and bond prices higher he can get the money he needs for Jan/March with a crazy convertible offering.

Doesn't matter if the numbers are fake or if Q4 will be a disaster, everyone expected a pump on earnings, it's just starting a few days early.

This tesla movie is going to be the best movie of all time.. i would call it fiction if i wasnt living it.

hahaha this is nuts $300 coming up again

Every time Tesla stock goes up, the bears are like:



(Bitcoin bears are the same whenever it goes up too)

Wonder what kind of dirt Musk has on Left?

The more I think about this, and the further TSLA runs up today, I really gotta hand it to Andrew Left. He knows how to play this game. His fundamental analysis sucks and is wrong, but that doesn't really matter. He knew that, being one of the most notorious short-sellers, if he turned around his opinion, he could really push the stock up.

And what's more, he timed it perfectly. Everybody's already on their heels from the rushed earnings announcement. A lot of shorts probably didn't want to hold through earnings, because who knows how well Elon will cheat, and who knows whether the market will realize it. So there was already a lot of buying pressure, which he added to substantially.

Bad luck for him that today happened to be a day when the broader markets are dropping hard. We might have seen a +20% day otherwise.

The citron thing pushing it up so much surprised me but i think shorts covering because of the 48 hour EC notice is definitely what made for a frothy squeeze

Oh well, all that matters is tomorrow
