Tesla Delivers Record 112k in Q4 367k in 2019 +50% YoY
- Thread starter Ryno23
- Start date
The Y has terrible rear visibility and head room thanks to the stupid sloped roof. And I don't want to spend $70+k for a stupid SUV.
Most of the big loss porn ones get deleted because of lawyers, like the dude who found infinite money via RH. That sub is going to be high comedy during the next recession.

Yeah somehow through dumb luck I called the top. Was waiting all day for the late rally into close like yesterday, needed to sell enough to fund my Roth IRA for last year and this year, and hopefully rebuy the shares on a discount. Put in a sell order for $967 thinking it would close around $970, stock shot up it was filled, it hit $968 then not even a minute or two later collapsed $100 in like an instant. That will never happen again holy shit...
It's fine if you're like me and hold majority sub $400 stocks and had a 5-10 year outlook.
It's fun to see it spike like that, but I'm just shaking my head watching this insanity overall.
The Y is more of a crossover, where a station wagon would be the model 3, but with a more squared off back and a lift gate. While crossovers and station wagons could have similar interior space, wagons are still based on cars and don't have the taller body or higher ride height. Station wagons are usually a little longer than a lot of smaller crossovers, and you get more rear cargo space in regards to length, but lose a bit of height.
I personally like station wagons even though they're almost dead in the US. I would not cross shop them with crossovers at all, nor would I even consider buying a crossover.
apparently a one-off example even exists
What kinda of false equivalence bullshit is that?
Also, time to take some profits.
I get what you're saying, but I doubt they'd release a station wagon given the market demand. Wasn't sure why a Y wouldn't work for most people. What limits does it have that a station wagon meets?
Well, I can't speak for every wagon vs crossover, but in my experience, wagons are longer, and usually have just as much room in the back. You also have the downside of it being an SUV and not a car. You have higher ride height, and a taller body, which if you want a car, is a negative. Sure if you just need the extra space a crossover works, but some people just don't want a crossover.
After hours is already back up $23.
Also Ford earnings are not so good:

At this point it feels like the stock is just outright fucking with shortsellers. "1k? It couldn't possibly go higher, right?"
From what I understand though, the station wagon market is pretty low in the US though. Seems a bit niche for now for Tesla to target.
Dumb, irrelevant comparison. Enron was literally cooking their books. It's fine to say that tsla is insanely over valued vs what their book numbers say, but if their book numbers aren't great to begin with, I'm going to doubt they're cooking them to come up with poor numbers.
That said I predicted this massive short squeeze on tsla in this very thread and I do believe that this run is because of it.
I agree. The station wagon market is basically dead in the US. But there are those of us out there that want one, and wont buy a crossover. Obviously the market demand is crossovers, which is why they're selling better than everything these days, even though they're more expensive than similarly sized cars. Though people buy what they want, not necessarily what they need.
Myself I'd just get a hatchback and deal with having less space than a wagon.
Who's making an electric station wagon currently? I was talking strictly EV's.
I wish there was a better market for used Tesla's. I can afford to buy a Model Y, but I refuse to burn money on a brand new car.
just imagine
in a few years tesla might be the only american car manufacturer
Sold 2 shares today at $940 (originally bought at $180 last june) and reinvested it into GOOGL and ARKK (which holds 10% of their portfolio as TSLA), so I still have a few TSLA shares left in my portfolio but I didn't wanna get caught on any correction/downturn.
I had like $500 bucks sitting in my E*TRADE account at the start of January. Bought a single Tesla stock with it cause I didn't know what to do with it and my philosophy on buying stock I know nothing about. Always falls down to one question. how passionate are the customers of the stock I'm buying? Well Tesla easily blew through any parameters for passion so I purchased a single stock with my $500. Anyway needless to say I've been looking at that one stock jump up and down like a fucking bounce ball for the last month lol. It's been very amusing.
It's not burning money to buy a new car when used prices are high.
I really hope it doesn't. Shit needs to slow down until Q1 earnings and battery day.
If the new version of the car you want is only slightly more then yeah skip the used one. But no one is holding a gun to my head to force me to buy a Tesla even though I want one.
My ideal car would be a Model X with less than 20k miles that I would purchase with cash at around $30k. That doesn't exist though so I'll just have to wait for more EVs to hit the market (both new and used).
Sounds like a used Model Y in a few years will be in your range.
Even slightly used is cheaper than new and no sales tax, dealership, and doc fees.
With good Q1 numbers and good battery day revelations I would not be surprised if this hit $2,000.
Unless you're in New Hampshire, Oregon, Delaware, Montana or Alaska, then you still have to pay taxes on used vehicles.
Ys aren't even out yet so how would you know about visibility? Also, the Y isn't 70k.
So you haven't actually driven one to know and you picked the most expensive model with all the upgrades and it's still not as much as you said?
You don't have to drive it when there's a ton of similiar shaped cars out there, all of them sharing the bad visibility. And who wants a none-AWD pseudo SUV with smaller range? And I'm sorry I don't know the exact €/$ trading rates.
In the end, it's simply not the right car for me, which is fine.

Yeah, that's why I'm hoping to buy more shares BEFORE Q1 and battery day. I'm afraid that afterwards there won't be many more opportunities for good prices on the stock.
I'm so glad I bought in when I did though.
Kicking myself, was staring at an order confirmation for calls at 870, I chickened out but would've made out with around 8k lol

Land a wagon like that in Australia for $70K and I'm in. Currently looking at Tesla battery add-on(s) for our solar panels so this would go nicely hand in hand within the next 1-3 years.
nah, the volatility on that was insane. There was a day when I was seeing $100-$300 hundred price swings in a matter of minutes with all the activity going on.
How are people making these kinds of profits on options trading? I've been reading up on it to try and wrap my head around it but I don't understand the profits people are advertising in these posts. For instance, take the last one where the person bought a $910 call for $111 and cashed out for ~$7K. From what I understand when you buy a call you can then sell the shares for the strike price ($910 in this case) once the stock has exceeded that price. The ceiling for Tesla so far is around $960 so a $50 profit per share if selling at the stock's absolute height. With 100 shares that's a maximum $5K profit. What an I missing?
People have the option of selling the actual option contract itself which increases as the stock price increases
Wait, you can do that? So you can buy an option that this stock would, say be $1,500 by the end of next week not because you actually expect it to happen but because you think other people will want to make that bet? Holy shit.

Options feel too much like gambling to me and I hate gambling with my money.
I may be old fashioned but I prefer to buy stocks from companies I have faith and believe in for the long term. Maybe I'm missing out but its worked well for me and I sleep well at night investing thusly.

Apparently Elon tweeted this out
What do you guys think? He being serious and Texas might be the next place for a giga factory?

I purchased some TSLA shares at around $250 last year with the plan to hold them for 5-10 years, very first foray into the stock market for me.
This has been crazy to watch, but i'll prolly hold on to them for now. Might sell one to get my money back if they get to 1500+.
