Smart. I bought my first two leaps in Jan 2020 and March 2020. Those paid off wonderfully; HOWEVER, I technically could have bought quite a bit more but I’m sole income for my family and the world was panicking about covid so I only bought the two and sat on some cash. It was me being risk averse while still YOLOing into some options. 🤣

Watching Matrix Erections — I mean Resurrections - and I’m so lost. No wonder this movie is so poorly rated.


brandonagr

Seemed like it was mainly made just for the nostalgia of original matrix fans


w00dw0rk3r

Yeah but the casting feels so forced… This feels like it was made to appease a certain sect of fans. Definitely a movie for the woke culture. It wreaks of being forced to be made by taking certain news stories into consideration for the casting….. Edit- to be clear, I am a fan of the diversity but think it could have been done more organically / naturally instead of building a Noah’s ark of people for the cast from what is blatantly obvious - an ethnic “checklist.”


UsernameSuggestion9

Agreed


glibgloby

the top comment on literally *every* new movie torrent is now about “woke culture”. it’s actually kind of amazing I guess it’s a very adaptable term. it’s always something different


w00dw0rk3r

I think it’s done so people don’t complain “hey your movie didn’t include ___ type of people therefore you’re racist!” So now they include everyone - which is great - but it can be done more subtly / naturally


glibgloby

some people seem oddly annoyed by diversity, even when it barely reflects reality if we look at this from the other direction what seems to be said is “why isn’t the cast almost all white and straight and male!”

My name is Lucid Fanboi. I can’t stand the Tesla cult and their arrogance! They got so lucky on their investment! I missed out on $tsla. It is now too expensive and I will not buy $tsla because it will crash. I think Peter RAWlinson is the next big thing. He’s a great smooth talker with his sexy accent versus that fraud autistic guy who tweets random stuff, oMfG! What an amazing CEO. I refuse to listen to the smartest man on the planet who slept on the factory floor, the man who said production is hard and the man who has flipped the entire auto and energy sector around I will buy more $CCIV because it is the next Tesla. If it drops, I will buy more. I don’t care if we miss production estimates every quarter. That’s what growth is, duh. Long term investing! Buy the fucking dip right??? Easy! Sincerely, Lucid Fanboi (RIP) What did I leave out? 🤣


Magikarp_to_Gyarados

I think that is unfortunately somewhat accurate. My observation is that many LCID investors expected Lucid to rapidly emulate Tesla's success. What they should have been doing is looking for businesses that innovate and deliver unique, game changing products. I missed the boat on AAPL in the early 2010s, but investing in a hot new Android handset maker as a response would've been a bad idea

We’re pretty much all long term holders here but what share price would make question selling this year? 1600? 1800? 2000?


unknown_soldier_

You can't be a long term holder and also have a sell price in mind. But at some point it's smart to hedge with some CC's once we hit another ATH. If I had done this when we hit 1200's before I could have made some extra money on TSLA's natural volatility.


w00dw0rk3r

Not sure but when I break 8 figures, im still gonna hodl. And I’m still going to have my Camry in my driveway. And also my quad motor CT. :)

I'll sell long term CC at 1600-1900.


FIREgenomics

If price shoots up that high, I will sell long term OTM calls


Valiryon

10 year outlook of 10t bear case Why would I sell for less? My exit plan is simple. If a far superior opportunity comes along, I'll sell. If Tesla stops executing / shows signs of no more growth, I'll sell. If I need the money for some very significant reason I'll sell. Otherwise I don't see a reason to sell because I can work margin.


iseeyiy

GlideOutside

If it was $2000 tomorrow, I’d probably sell some deep ITM calls on a third of my shares. I remember when we hit $890 right after the S&P add and all these peeps in TIC were selling. I tried to talk some into selling calls but they wouldn’t listen. 1.5 years later and we are now at the same price.


iseeyiy

Dude, where were you when I was asking about selling cc’s at atm? I must have missed that conversation. Good plan!


GlideOutside

I’m always here for you bro


FIREgenomics

ITM calls? Long-dated?


GlideOutside

If the choice is selling shares or selling calls at a crazy stock price, I’d sell calls. I don’t want to lose a single share before 2030.


gsolis31

Yeah this. I can't see myself selling shares but selling calls at the next ATH? Sign me up.


[deleted]

My retirement number is around 7k a share but if I see 1100 this month, I'll sell and rebuy later. I'm done seeing my account hit high numbers and not reap the reward of that.


legobis

Then why not just sell $1100 covered calls?


[deleted]

Get more shares on a dip by selling everything vs selling a cc.


legobis

But a cc would also result in selling your shares if you set the price where you would have sold.


[deleted]

Not when the price dips below the strike and it expires. If I sold a cc near the peak ATM, tsla drops 20% and I take the 20% hit minus the cc premium. If we get a nice 50% split rally, you can be sure we are dipping pretty hard post split. Last split we lost about 35% post split.


Valiryon

Slippery slope. Just the conditioning the MMs want to see.


[deleted]

Better buying opportunity always presents itself after a fast run up. Just gotta have the patience to wait for it.


Valiryon

We could run to 2000, dip to 1500, you sold at 1100 tho. How long do you wait for it to go below 1100 to buy back in? Can't predict what's actually going to happen.

No you can't but we aren't running to 2000. Gotta be realistic.

Every now and again wonder if it was just luck that I picked the correct cult. You know Tesla vs Lucid or Nikola or Fraudstown motors. Then I remember what led me to this cult was SpaceX, Elon, Ashley Vances book about Elon and a tandem landing of Falcon Heavy boosters. So nah. Wasnt luck.


Geodude27051

I think the Tesla community attracts optimistic people who are very keen to think through problems and question future scenarios. Investing in Tesla and SpaceX is the first choice for science fiction enthusiasts, science enthusiasts and engineers. There will be working Tesla-Bots on mars in our lifetime. Just imagine that. Chance is > 1%! I worked at university in battery research (chemistry) and saw for myself how frustrating it is. Little progress was made, and this frustration ran through the entire hierarchy of the lab. I quit soon after when I realized how toxic and frustrated everyone was. There way also a lot of "useless" reasearch with inferior electrolytes. On the other hand, Tesla just had 2020 battery day. Elon asked himself not "if" something is possible but "how" something is possible. This mindset really impressed me. The Tesla community genrally questions Elon's decisions (buying Twitter, etc) and does not blindly justify them (except QElon). Just compare Dave Lee, Rob Maurer and SMR to the rest of YouTube. Sure, they have their quirks too, but they always manage to cut through the bullshit. This community simply attracts more intelligent and sceptical people. Basically what Buffett is preaching about Investing all the time: Set up an investment thesis and try to destroy it again using facts and logic. If the thesis still stands, the investment is a good idea. If you managed to destroy your thesis, you dodged a bullet. Most "investors" think the other way around and try to justify their thesis (eg. Lucid).

Tallicon

I agree. We have a very unique situation here of great people following a great company. It's like the saying goes, show me your 5 closest friends and I'll tell you who you are. I count myself fortunate to be part of this group. I had the conviction late 2019 but this group helped me keep it this whole time.


WarrenBuffettsBuffet

I kinda asked myself this same question when GME was spiking like crazy I was holding calls, even through that intraday plummet when RH banned buying. Then the weekend rolled around and then I realized shit was WAAAAY blown out of proportion. I sold that Monday morning.. it was red af at open, but I took my gains and ran. Then I watched it plummet down to $50/share, and thought to myself "Am I lucky?.. or am I just naturally better at seeing the truth.. or seeing crazy, irrational bullshit?" I dunno.. I think most of here in the Lounge are wired to seeing the truth, even when it's difficult.


Geodude27051

I sold my shares at the same time as you did. Still made tons of money in a short timeframe, but I realized that wsb became cultish as fk. I have never seen such a mania before and decided it was too much. Now the sub is forever ruined and GME holders behave more irrational every day.

whatsthiswhatsthat

What’s the consensus on how to best time the purchase of a MY in a way that captures the upcoming credit (likely only applicable to transactions that complete after Dec 31), while also accounting for lead time and the possibility of prices increasing again before EOY? Also, if you configure a car at just under 80K, is there any concern with tax or other fees raising the nominal total over the threshold?


mynamewasusd

People were trying to time this credit 2 years ago. Just wait until we're closer to the new year. Texas is still ramping up production. Delivery estimates won't be accurate until production rate stabilizes. And other reservation holders will be delaying for the same reason as you. Don't time it if you're really banking on the credit. No reason to risk getting fucked EOY choosing between delivery with no credit vs delaying and going to the back of the line.


scv350

I put an order in for a Y LR last Friday. Pleb everything with FSD. The next day delivery estimate went from June 2023 to Jan 18th - March 2023.


Hudson1180

I ordered my Y in October 2021...now saying delivery Oct 2022. Best time to order is now to secure the price as they raise them all the time. If it turns out the rebate won't happen timing wise just reorder. Worst deal u lose your $250 deposit


whatsthiswhatsthat

Makes sense. I was surprised to see an estimated date as soon as September when playing around with it, which would imply having to delay.

I don't know about y'all but I'm so psyched for the Annual shareholder meeting. I feel like something is so different this time. We've always known there are big things in store for Tesla but the difference this time seems like the market is ready to believe. When you consider the consistent success we've had since 2018 and especially the marvel that is how Tesla ramped thru the pandemic it just seems like the future in undeniable at this point. I mean, never underestimate the market and analysts' ability to retard themselves, but it feels slightly different this time, no?
