Is This The End Of Tesla ?

Wow! What a difference a month makes! lol

Yes, with China likely to boycott American products in general and Europeans having to wait 3 months for spare parts, the demand is just plummeting... Debt doesn't matter as Jonas pointed out, but when the " growth " story starts to end, you know the rest.

China should retaliate the Huawei ban by putting Tesla out of misery. That'll wake up the lefties into action and put actual pressure on Congress about tariffs

Hell they may even opt for another farm/Auto bailout
 
When D.C and Iran kiss and make up (and ater they have sex), welcome back to $40 per bbl oil. EVs won't make sense then. GAS GUZZLERS will. :)

As gas and diesel prices keep creeping up, all the POS millenials will be whining about how they did not plan for anything, and will be ditching all their 17 MPG SUV monsters, and will be crying for the cheeper sedans, which the drove out of the marketplace to begin with. They will eventually learn how to live with an inexpensive four-door, and not a road-hogging asshole car, which requires no skill to drive. Just lack of consciousness.

 
Seems like the stock free fall shows no sign of stopping.

I don't understand, how can your ATM short put be profitable?

To close an earlier short, if it expires ITM, which it probably will my profit is about $65/share. It's just a stupid way to do it. I'm experimenting with selling options to enter/exit positions.

Edit: I entered the TSLA short the same way, so actually considering that, profit is probably around $70/share. I don't know. Probably screwed it up and now I owe Elon money.

When I worked for AMAT through the dot com explosion, crash, and after, we went through many cycles like that. They and many other tech companies that go through big boom and drought cycles are still around.

People have been saying Tesla is dead for years. Yeeeears... I think many are the same bears betting the market will crash to new lows since December. One day later this year, next, or years later it will happen and the person will say, "SEE!! SEE!! I PREDICTED IT!! It crashed! I told you!!" Ha.


It's a new car company.
Everything for them is a 1st, that's never been done before.
Buying a car online, 1st car, suv, 2nd car, smaller suv, semi.

Before and after every new model a group pops up, "oh they're going to fail, they can't do it, they're going under, sales are down, production not met, problems, problems"
Of course there's going to be hic-ups.
Everything they are doing, it's the first time anybody has done before.

At least they're in good company around the best culture that supports it.
The home of creating new ideas that nobody has done before, nobody believes can be done. (Netflix, Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Amazon, Apple, FB, eBay, Google, HP, Oracle, TiVo, Adobe, Cisco) Everybody within an hours drive of each other.

There's no such thing as, "it can't be done'.

Everybody in town is doing what can't be done and has never been done before and always pushing the limit. If TSLA were in Detroit, I'd be sceptical.

Big companies like Tesla only "disappear" in SV if they don't reinvent themselves, innovate, when technology changes or advances. A competitor does something better or their industry changes and catches you off guard.

"Crap, you mean we don't do floppy disks anymore? Compact Disk... it'll never take off.... Google? They just search the internet.... Just ignore them.." Good bye, bankrupt. Where's Motorola? Nokia? Palm? Netscape? AOL? Commodore? Atari? Memorex? Sears? Blockbuster?


In the car industry, that's EVERYBODY ELSE.
Tesla are the MOST advanced and years ahead of any other car company in electric technology. Germans, British, Japanese, and the Big 3. They also have the largest global network of Super Chargers for their cars, which are again, years more advance than anything out there. The future is self-driving technology and they are years ahead of everybody there too.

Let the bears have their way for a bit with TSLA, but it'll return back up.

In the short term, I easily see price returning back up to 212.50, 215, and 220 to grab the stops for some liquidity. Where it goes after will depend on how it gets there.

One day in the future, maybe they might buy a struggling Chrysler/Dodge, or buy out their closed factories to make more vehicles in the USA.

(no I don't work for Tesla, or own one, but am planning for one)

 
More and more electric kettles are on the way. Is there a standard plug for all of them or they are all proprietary? The bus should be made standard, and this could easily make way for adapters.
